How to increase room heating with a low-power battery

During the cold season, you want warmth and comfort in your home. But it is difficult to achieve if The batteries in the room are working at half capacity. This may be due to technical problems or savings of the management company. In any case, experts advise several ways to heat the apartment more even in such a situation.

Tips from professional plumbers

Only technically trained people understand how to ensure that the heating of the room is maximum, and The battery worked at 200%. These methods are simple and easy to do even by non-professionals.

Life hacks have been tested empirically by many people who used to freeze in their apartments, even with radiators working at full capacity.

First you need to understand that the battery converts air, heating it and lifting it upward. There it cools and descends again to the heat source. Thus, the room remains warm, and the air in it constantly circulates.

Remove unnecessary items

In order not to interfere with the natural heating process, remove all excess from the radiator. Often clothes or shoes are dried there, decorative figurines and other objects are placed there. Often there is a situation when apartment owners install a wide window sill. It interferes with the circulation of warm air and the battery efficiency decreases sharply.

If the room has blackout curtains, open them. By closing the space, they interfere with free convection. Remember that there should be a distance of 5–10 cm on all sides from the radiator. Then its heat transfer will be maximum.

Check windows

If it blows from the plastic frames, no battery can cope with the cold air currents. Necessarily inspect the window structureso that it does not blow from the joints or in the places where the frame fits.

If such places are still found, call the appropriate company: you need adjustment or even rearrangement of the window. In some cases, apartment owners simply forget to switch their window to winter mode, leaving it on summer mode.

Foil penofol

This method will not bring much relief, but is used often. The reason lies in the absorption of heat by the wall located behind the heating radiator. If you cover it with foam material with a foil surface, heat transfer flows increase.

Professionals still do not recommend using this method, as it is ineffective.

Forced increase in convection currents

And this option will really bring benefits. To implement this you will need a computer cooler or fan. It is installed so that air flows were directed to the batteries. Mixing with heat flows and spreading faster throughout the room, they increase heating.

However, before doing anything, we advise you to contact the management company and find out why there is not enough heat in the apartment. Perhaps the pipes are clogged and the heating is not at full strength. In this case, the issue is resolved using radical methods - by changing the batteries.
