Effectiveness and savings


How much money will I save?

How much you save will depend on the size of your house, the type of wall construction and how much you currently spend on fuel bills. Estimates suggest that as much as 70% of the heat produced by radiators is lost into the walls. HEATKEEPER Energy Saving Radiator Panels significantly reduce this heat loss through external walls. We estimate that an investment in new HEATKEEPER Energy Saving Radiator Panels will pay back in less than one year. Find out how much you could save using our Energy Savings Calculator.

Do the panels need to be fitted to both the internal and external walls of my property?

We recommend fitting them on internal walls, as the heat which would otherwise go into the wall is reflected back into the radiator, so the water returns hotter to the boiler and the boiler triggers less often. The heat that would have gone into an internal wall is not lost to the outside, but it only becomes available when the heating is off and the air temperature has fallen. So this heat is lost in the sense it is not heating the room when it is most needed.

What evidence is there that the panels work?

Independent studies into the effectiveness of the panels have been conducted by world renowned experts such as the Building Research & Industry Association, the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, the Scottish Energy Centre, Queen’s University, Belfast, and the University of Sheffield.
