Diagnosing Circulation Problems in Central Heating

What are Dual Fuel Towel Radiators?

These types of radiators are connected to both your central heating and your mains electricity. A dual fuel towel radiator can be used independently of your central heating, which means you can use it in the summer without turning your other radiators on. During the winter months, they can operate on your central heating along with the other radiators in your property.

Some dual fuel radiator models come with thermostatic controls for precise temperature adjustments. You can increase or decrease the heat based on whether you are using the room and the temperature outside. During the winter months, you may want to turn the heating up, but the temperature can be turned down during the autumn and spring. Dual fuel radiators can add extra warmth during cooler months when you feel chilly but not cold enough to turn on the central heating.

A dual fuel towel radiator can also keep your towels warm and dry, which can help reduce the dampness in humid spaces like bathrooms. You might also want to put your clothes or pyjamas on the towel rail so that they’re nice and warm for you to put on.

You need to get your dual fuel towel radiator professionally installed so that it can be safely integrated with both your central heating and electrical systems. Along with being plumbed into your central heating system, the radiator will also need to be connected to your mains electricity, which isn’t a job you can do yourself unless you’re professionally trained.

Energy Efficient Heating

Will Dual Fuel Towel Rails Save Money on My Energy Bills?

A dual fuel radiator can give you more control over the heating in your home and help you save money. However, the full extent of the savings you could make depends on where the radiator is placed and how it is used.

During warmer months, you can use the electric mode to warm your dual fuel towel rail without turning on the whole central heating system. Instead of heating the entire home to keep a bathroom warm, a dual fuel towel rail focuses heat where it’s needed, which is more energy efficient for your home. This will save you money as you won’t be using excessive heat.

Many of our dual fuel towel rails come with thermostats or timers that allow you to control when and how much heat is produced. This prevents the radiator wasting energy and ensures the towel rail only runs when needed. If you have multiple dual fuel radiators in your home, you have more control over the heat distribution throughout your home.

Electric radiators also heat up very quickly. This reduces the energy needed to heat the radiator compared to using the central heating system, which takes longer to heat up.

Dual fuel towel rails are especially energy efficient in the spring and autumn. The weather may be just cool enough that you want warm towels or a warm bathroom, but not cold enough that you want to turn on the central heating.

Choosing the Right Dual Fuel Radiator for Your Home

We have a range of dual fuel towel rails that can suit rooms of different sizes. You can browse our designer radiator range to find coloured radiators, vertical radiators and horizontal radiators to suit your space.

Make sure that you don’t place your dual fuel radiator behind heavy furniture or curtains. This will stop the heat from circulating properly and cause the radiator to work harder to heat the room. You should also choose the right BTU rating for your room based on its size and insulation.
