Hey Guys,
This will be my first winter in the new house, a 1940s cape in MA. I have gas forced hot water, with in wall radiators. The radiators are all on external walls under recently replaced double-pane windows. We also have blown cellulose in all external walls.
My question is how to increase the efficiency of the radiators. As they are in wall, I would assume some/much of the heat goes directly to heaing the outside wall. Is there any type of insulation that can be placed behind the radiator to reflect heat inward towards the room?
Thanks!
Bryan
