Cast iron radiators are very efficient. This is not surprising when you consider that they were designed in a time when the types of fuel used for heating systems (coal and oil) were very expensive. This is a bonus for the modern day homeowner as fuel prices are once again starting to rise.
Cast iron radiators can be more expensive to fit initially but their efficiency will save you money in fuel costs over time. Cast iron radiators are very dense and this means they retain heat for a very long time. They can heat large spaces effectively and this means you will not need as many of these radiators as you would modern versions. This is why a radiator calculator can come in useful as this can help you to judge how many cast iron radiators you need for your home accurately.
Heating Efficiency
As well as using cast iron radiators there are other ways to increase your home heating efficiency. This can save wasting fuel and keep your heating bills down:
* Double Glazing 鈥?a lot of heat can be lost from windows. You can help to reduce this by replacing older windows with modern double glazing.
* Insulation 鈥?cavity and loft spaces can leach heat from your rooms. You can get cavity and loft insulation installed quite easily these days and this can help to reduce thermal loss from your whole house.
