in order for this to be accurate you have to do it multiple times in different rooms to get an average

only works if on an external wall. Internal makes no difference as the heat the wall absorbs gets put back into the room anyway

😑You should focus on insulating you house, 6*c drop in temperature is a lot

worth taking an IR camera to the other side of the wall, see if there's less heat loss through the wall with the foil

17* is no good 21* min needed. British Gas engineer told me in December this was a waste of time..who do I believe.

Loving people saying JUST get insulation. Even with grants, insulation is becoming less and less affordable (country dependent).

So 15 min more from 45 that's a 33% increase without foil. pretty significant.

No, not really. It just curls up and sticks to the back of the radiator. 🤨🤨🤨

Jesus! I live in Eastern Europe in a 80 year old brick house. Not insulated. I would lose around 2c in 1h. When it's -10c outside. Pellet boiler.

paint the wall behind the radiator with metal paint. job done . it reflects the heat, and you can paint over it

where do you think the heat without the foil goes? it takes longer to heat up but also longer to cool down.

i wonder if the result would be the same if you measured no foil before with foil

You need to check how much oil is used to keep it at 17 degrees for several hours as well as tge warm up time

It heating up faster is probably a bigger win than the savings

That is cold dropping to 10/11 inside , should be sitting at 14/15 worst case. You are in serious need of thermal lining that house probably most effective way

Interesting fact. Radiators don't heat air by radiation. They heat by air circulation. Do not create a cold spot on your wall behind the radiator else it will get moldy over time. Insulate outside.
