Ok to Cover Heating Radiator with Study Table? Safe For Studying Near It?

4 comments

1. You should move the table a few centimeters away from the wall.

2. It should be safe but it’s not efficient

3. Move it away from the wall a bit, so that the warm air has a chance to escape upwards. Otherwise the radiator might shut off early since it will be warm below the table but not anywhere else in the room

4. Since a couple of people told you that it is not going to heat very well already, I will just talk about the heating costs. You are have a heat energy measuring device on your radiator. This measures the energy consumed by you and the heating bill will be calculated by this.

   If you block the flow of air, the room won’t get that worm, but your thermostat is still near the edge of the table and might have a flow of cold air making the heating run.

   So, the heating is on, the room is cold, the meter is running and you are paying for a cold room.
