    Unless you have old panel type radiators they are useless. If they are convector radiators (one's with fins) they work using air currents and the reflectors are useless.

    They were in the UK in the 90's and really never took off. I would think the money would be better spent elsewhere.

    "Without the Rad Booster panels it took the room 75 minutes to reach 19°C and a whole 140 minutes to reach 20°C. With the Rad Booster Panels fitted it took just 40 minutes to reach 19 °C (a 46% improvement) and 90 minutes to reach 20°C (a 35% improvement)."

    If the response time in the room is that poor then the rad, the boiler or both need looking at.
