Energy Efficient Radiator Covers

July 2025

A radiator heater is a heating system that uses hot water or steam to heat a room.  In older homes and buildings this used to include large metal pipes in rooms which could cause injury if touched when hot.  Some homeowners cover these pipes with a decorative enclosure for aesthetics and safety.

While most homes no longer include large exposed pipes, older homes continue to rely on them.

The Cozy is an insulated and internet-connected radiator to prevent overheating and waste.  It includes a duct, fan and sensors to trap the radiator’s heat which is released based on the preferred settings of residents in each unit.

A building’s boiler is boiling a lot less water during the heating season when a Cozy is used.
