Adding an active fan allows air to circulate more freely and therefore heat a room more efficiently. Noctua even goes so far as to say that installing an NV-FS2 above or below a radiator can prevent mold from growing in well-insulated homes.
The company believes that ‘active radiator ventilation’ can also limit energy consumption in poorly insulated older homes by reducing the overall boiler load. Even more astonishing, Noctua claims its solution can reduce heating costs by around 5-10%.
It is important to note that Noctua has not provided any proof for its claims, monetary or otherwise. Likewise, she did not include specific figures in her press release. Therefore, we recommend that you take the company’s recommendations with a lot of skepticism for the moment.
