Radfan - A positive step toward solving residents and social landlords top current major concerns

With over 80,000 units manufactured and sold in the UK since 2013, Radfan enables residents to feel warmer more quickly, potentially saving energy costs.

By circulating air within the rooms where they are situated also helps dispel the conditions which promote mould growth.  

Your residents can simply place on top of their existing water filled steel panel radiators (Radfan is held securely in position by magnets within the case). The internal fans accelerate the rate at which the heat transfers into the room. The curved top outlet turns this warm air through 90 degrees and projects it out forward into the room at radiator top height rather than allowing it to rise directly to the ceiling.

• Reduced potential for mould growth - The air circulation created by Radfan also helps reduce the potential for mould growth, and the physical presence of Radfan mounted discourages residents temptation to dry clothes on top of their radiators.

• Energy saving - Field trials by 9 housing associations tested devices in 99 real homes. Each home lived with the Radfan for 2 months and residents were asked a set of questions before and after the trial. See the ‘proven energy savings’ section on our website www.radfan.co   

• Average expected energy savings - 2565 kWh reduction in heating energy use, which equates to £267 saved per year.

Energy savings will only be achieved as a consequence of feeling warmer faster if residents do actually turn down TRV’s on the radiators where Radfan has been installed, or turn down their room thermostat setting, or reduce central heating on periods via their time clocks.

It is important residents are advised that due to using very low power fans (1W each) the running cost is less than 0.2 pence per running hour when the radiator is warm.

• Safe - Fans are finger guarded and power to the Radfan is provided by a 3 pin plug top power supply which converts the 230v AC down to 12 v DC.

Housing associations can purchase directly from Radfan Ltd in bulk.
