    The usual radiator cover

    reduces the radiator's output by over 30%. This means the boiler must work harder to heat the house, which uses more fuel.

    A cover will also collect lots and lots of dust, and if a leak occurs it will be hidden until it gets real bad.

    Therefore, it would be better to have the radiators cleaned and repainted (using a paint that will take the heat and not peel) than to cover them.
