What’s the worst part of winter in a city like Berlin? Sure, the cold. But it’s not the crisp chill of a snowy mountain—it’s that damp, bone-deep cold that creeps into your apartment and refuses to leave. And if your beautiful old flat isn’t well insulated—like many charming 100-year-old Berlin apartments—it can feel impossible to get cozy. But there is a simple and seriously smart solution, the radiator fans from speedComfort.
Enter SpeedComfort.
Never heard of it? Time to fix that. Here’s the deal: what do you want from your home in winter? Lower heating bills? Cozy warmth? Both? Usually tough in an old apartment with high ceilings, right? Well, SpeedComfort makes it simple.
Here’s how it works. Normal heaters just get warm. If you’re lucky, the heat spreads evenly. But in reality, it often gets blocked by your sofa, curtains, or furniture—and in rooms with ceilings like mine, nearly 4 meters high, warmth just rises and vanishes. Cue chilly toes and frustrated sighs.
SpeedComfort’s genius solution: three quiet, high-efficiency fans that circulate the heat throughout the room.
The result? Even warmth, comfort, and the ability to turn your thermostat down by up to two levels, saving money while staying toasty.
Worried about the fans using extra electricity? Don’t be. One unit costs about 32 cents per year to run—seriously, not even a euro. Plus, they’re built to last, with premium materials and a 10-year warranty. Compare that to a smartphone: hot, expensive, and two-year coverage.
Installation? Easy. Attach one to any radiator; for longer heaters, you can connect up to five units
Each comes with a smart sensor that detects when your heater is active, and you can choose temperature and power settings. Feeling impatient after a snowy commute? Hit the Turbo mode for instant cozy warmth.
And yes, there are smart alternatives too—control your heating from your phone, and step into a warm home without wasting energy. Over the next few weeks, we’ll show you just how big an impact a tiny device like SpeedComfort can have. Stay tuned… and stay warm.
