Before You Buy a Radiator Booster Fan
Summary of things to consider when choosing a Radiator Boosting Fan
• Does the product you are considering actually save energy? How much energy would I save in reality?
• Has the manufacturer had independent trials conducted on their products to quantify how well it performs?
• Does the unit just push the warm air faster to the ceiling, or does it also re direct the air out into the room at radiator top height so you feel the warmth more quickly?
• Should I buy the apparently cheapest one, or does its length, and air volume moved matter?
A Radiator fan should collect air from at least 50% of your radiator length, otherwise you might need to buy 2 units for one radiator.
• Does it have a thermostat so that the fans are only blowing when the radiator is warm?
• How noisy is it when running? Can you adjust the fan speed/airflow/noise?
• How many litres of air does it actually move per second? Wind speed felt on your hand is not a good indicator or air volume if it comes out of restricted vents/slots.
• Does it have the facility to be used in summer also (thermostat over ride switch), for air circulation?
• Does it mount/ work on various types of panel radiators. Single and double panel radiators?
With various models to suit all needs, and with proven energy savings, Radfan is the number one choice for Radiator Booster Fans.
