dailyrecord.co.uk:

With energy bills set to rise again, one plumber has shared a tip to help you "channel the warmth" into your room faster, saving both time and money.With temperatures plummeting as the winter weather sets in, it can be difficult to stay warm resulting in no other option than to crank the heating up full blast.

However, you may notice that it takes a while for the heat to spread around the room as the warmth is not "channeling" appropriately, according to an expert from Your Plumber.

Thankfully, there are some easy fixes, as writes The Mirror. Clearing your radiators of obstacles is key to getting the most out of your heating, according to the expert.

This includes things like sofas that trap the heat behind it. The expert adds that to "channel the warmth into the room", you should "put shelves above any radiators to stop hot air rising." You can also "cover a thin sheet of card with tinfoil and place it behind your radiators." Doing this will help "reflect the heat back into the room" and help to heat up your room faster as well as retaining more heat for longer.It is also hugely important to "bleed your radiators" to get "rid of air pockets".
