You can argue that electric towel radiators are probably more expensive to run than
the ones that run off your central heating system. However with energy prices having come down
this may not be true.
The advantage of having these fitted is
that you will not have bundles of wet towels lying around at any time of the
year. They work every day of the year,
unlike the ones mentioned above as your heating will be switched off in the
summer months.
Another real bonus is that they are easily
fitted as there is no extensive pipework involved and therefore no floorboards
have to be lifted. I would suggest that
if you don’t know much about electricity it will be safer to have them
installed by a professional. This way
you will also have a warranty if something goes wrong with them.
Electric towel heaters have an element sealed
within the framework and they do not need water to get them hot. Very little can go wrong with them and most
have timers fitted to them so you can let them come on when you need heat.
You know that bathrooms are damp places and
having some form of heating installed in your room will keep mould and fungi
from forming.
If you should go for the ultra-stylish
chrome models you need to ensure that they stay dry to stop marks from
appearing on them. This can easily be
done by wiping a soft cloth over them to keep them in pristine condition.
Of course, these heaters are not only
useful in your bathroom. Because of
their compact size they do not take up a large amount of room and they can be
fitted in kitchens, cloakrooms and hallways too.
Modern homes do tend to have a lack of
space to walk around and because these radiators sit close to the wall and
because they are often vertical, they do not take up much wall space. In a hallway you will be able to get your
raincoats, scarves and hats dry.
