Here are the top six questions to ask before you buy an electric heated towel rail. They have many different names that include: Electric Towel Heater, Electric Towel Rail, Heated Towel Rail, Thermostatic Towel Heater, and Electric Towel Radiator.

Will an Electric Towel Rail Heat My Bathroom?

Is it safe to leave heated towel rail on?
It might be a concern that you go to work leaving the heated towel rail switched on, and will it stay on all day using unnecessary energy. For any Hotel manager, this question is most important with guests leaving appliances switched on when they leave their rooms. So, is it safe to leave a towel rail switched on?
YES: All the IntelliHeat towel heaters have their own control programmer, where you can choose exactly how many minutes it should stay on after you leave the room or leave the house. In fact, our towel heaters are so smart, that they will switch themselves off when they detect no further movement in the room, or a door or window left open, saving you energy and saving your employees time.
Is a heated towel rail as good as a radiator?
If you are refurbishing your bathroom or building a new Hotel, you may need to decide about whether to install a heated towel rail or a radiator in the bathroom, so is an electric towel heater just as good as a radiator?
All of our electric towel rails are pre filled with a water-based solution. UK Part P legislation requires that connection to the main electrical supply be carried out by a certified electrician. Our range of electric elements have an IPX4 rating and therefore can only be installed in Zone 2 and outwards. Electric towel rails are fitted with an electric element, the element heats up the fluid and the towel rail is heated by a process known as convection; the fluid is heated and moves upwards displacing colder fluid and so the process continues until there is an even distribution of heat throughout.
YES: The heated towel rails made by IntelliHeat are all very efficient electric radiators with the added benefit of a shape and style to enable you to dry towels on it at the same time. IntelliHeat Towel Heaters are also radiators, but some other brands have radiators that are NOT suitable as towel rails, so make sure you choose one that is designed to do both jobs. IntelliHeat manufacture the only towel heaters available in the UK that comply with Eco Design Lot 20, the European efficiency Standard.

This is a massive benefit for small houses, Housing Associations, Hotels and Hospitals, where only one cost is necessary to provide energy efficient heating and safe towel drying in every bathroom.
