Nowadays most homes have a radiator in the
bathroom. There is an alternative though
because electric towel radiators can
be fitted which can replace a heater in a bathroom or in a kitchen for that
matter.
These heaters have three functions, to keep
your bathroom warm, to keep your towels dry in winter as well as summer and to
keep mould and fungi from forming on the walls.
There are other advantages in installing an
electric radiator. You will not have
central heating pipes running in your bathroom which is often a small space and
you will not have the inconvenience of having to lift floorboards to connect it
to your boiler. Unlike a heater that is
connected to the boiler, they will not switch off when the central heating
system is switched off during the hot months of the year.
These radiators have a thermostat just like
heaters that use an alternative fuel.
They do not have to run all the time, but just when your towels are wet
and the bathroom is damp.
Because electricity and water do not really
go together, it is advisable to have an electrician or a plumber to install
this device as it needs to be plugged in somewhere and sockets in bathrooms are
not advisable.
Before you commit yourself to buying such a
heater it is advisable when going on the internet to an appropriate site to use
the calculator that most retailers have added to their web page. This will enable you to calculate the right
size of towel heater to keep your bathroom warm. It is also advisable to have a look at
thermostatic controls at the same time as you need less heat in the summer
months.
This form of heating takes up less space in
a small bathroom than a proper radiator.
These radiators can be hung on the wall so that you will be able to use
the wall beneath it to place a bathroom unit.
