Dual fuel radiators for bathrooms
8 May 2023
Dual fuel radiators are ideal for heated towel rails in cloakrooms, bathrooms and en suites because they’re connected to both your central heating and mains electricity, which means they can be turned on independently.
Dual fuel allows your radiator to swap between central heating and electric
There’s nothing worse than having a lovely refreshing shower, and then getting out and wrapping a cold, damp towel around you because it hasn’t had chance to dry. Wouldn’t it be lovely if you could have warm, dry towels all year round? With dual fuel, you can! Simply switch your bathroom towel rail on and say goodbye to cold damp towels! This is a great way to save energy, as it allows you to heat one room that’s feeling cold without having to heat the whole house, therefore saving you money on your heating bills.
Dual Fuel Towel Rails
Dual fuel is the ideal solution for heated towel rails, in cloakrooms, bathrooms and en suites because during the summer months your central heating system is switched off – but a dual fuel designer radiator has an electrical heating element and a T-piece allowing it to work independently of the other radiators in your home. Your radiator can be heated either by the central heating system, or electrically via the heating element.
How do dual fuel designer towel radiators work?
Dual fuel is where you combine the fitting of a rod heating element connected to a 13amp spur on a radiator which is installed as a part of the wet central heating system. This is especially useful for bathrooms which are cold when the rest of the house is a comfortable temperature. It means you can have the towel radiator on to dry towels or heat the room even when the rest of the central heating is idle.
Can any Radiator be dual fuel?
If you want to have a duel fuel radiator, then you need to ensure the heating element fits safely inside the style you need. The heating elements are long and thin, and the longer the element, the higher the wattage and the greater the capacity for heating. Which is why tall designer towel radiators are perfect for dual fuel conversions.
