Is it OK to have TV close to radiator?

It is not advisable to position a radiator close to a TV, as the emerging heat could cause potential damage to the television.

Can a LED TV go above a radiator?

It is definitely possible to put a TV on a wall above a radiator, but it may not always be advisable. Your TV may not work if it overheats and your radiator may be so efficient at pumping out heat that it makes your TV too hot.

How far should a TV be from a heater?

How Far Away Should a TV Be From a Heater? Again, as established above, this depends on the type of heater and TV. Ultimately, a decent distance of six inches or above should be considered. For the TV screen itself, 4 inches from the wall is what is recommended, as its own vents release heat as well.

Do radiator covers block heat?

Of course, putting a solid object around your heat source will have an effect on the heat output as it acts as a barrier. However, a radiator cover will not block too much heat as long as your cover has gaps and slots for heat to escape, and warm the air up through convection.

Can you put a TV above an electric heater?

A TV may be placed above most electric fireplaces, without any adverse effects to the TV. The exception would be any wall-mounted fireplace that pushes the heat out through the top of the unit.

Can TV cable go behind radiator?

How close can things be to a radiator?

How much space should be between radiator and cover?

It’s a good idea to have enough space between your radiator and your cover so the heat can be distributed more evenly. The gap between the radiator and the cover should be at least 5cm in width, 3cm in height and 3cm in depth to ensure it won’t affect the BTU output.

Does covering a radiator stop it working?

Poorly designed radiator covers can cause heat loss, in a nutshell. Anything that blocks a radiator’s airflow reduces its efficiency. Some radiator covers can actually trap heat and affect your thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) reading – confusing your entire central heating system.
