ONE little-known energy-saving device could slash your bills by \u00a3100.<\/p>\n

Dust that gets caught in convector radiator vanes, also known as fins, can cause the unit to function less efficiently.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is because any heat produced can't escape as smoothly meaning the device is having to work harder to warm the room it's in.<\/p>\n

But, you can get rid of any detritus and slash bills in minutes with one cheap gadget – a radiator duster.<\/p>\n

B&M is selling the devices for as little as \u00a33 while Dunelm and Lakeland have them in stock for \u00a37 and \u00a310 respectively.<\/p>\n

Nicholas Auckland, heating expert from Trade Radiators, said using one of the devices could slash your bills by over \u00a3100.<\/p>\n

He explained: "Assuming a conservative estimate of an 8% improvement in energy efficiency due to cleaning the radiator fins, the potential savings can range from \u00a365 to \u00a3112 per year.<\/p>\n

"Of course, it really does depend on a number of different factors, including the level of\u00a0dust\u00a0and the proportion of household radiators being of the convector finned type."<\/p>\n

How else to save money on your heating bills<\/h2>\n

There are endless ways to save money on your heating bills, not least by using energy-saving gadgets such as radiator dusters.<\/p>\n

Dave Raval, from LoftZone, previously told The Sun how radiator fans can slash bills by \u00a3300.<\/p>\n

They work by redirecting rising heat, which can keep you warmer without upping your thermostat.<\/p>\n

You can pick up the gadgets from around \u00a315, with Amazon selling them for \u00a325 and OnBuy.com for \u00a323.<\/p>\n

Beyond this, Dave suggested installing insulation in your home to avoid heat escaping.<\/p>\n

You can buy 4.83m long and 1.14m wide rolls from B&Q for \u00a325 while Wickes is selling 4.92m long and 1.14m wide rolls for \u00a326.<\/p>\n

It might seem like an investment, but it can save you \u00a3100s a year in the long term.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, try laying down draught excluders to stop excess heat from escaping from your property.<\/p>\n

Plus, make sure you're not placing soft furniture such as beds or sofas in front radiators, as they will absorb any warm air produced.<\/p>\n
