How do towel warmers/electric radiators work together with underfloor heating?
The smaller towel warmers work fine together with underfloor heating as they operate at a constant temperature (fixed or variable) regardless of what the temperature of the underfloor heating is. The larger combined towel warmers and bathroom radiators have in-built thermostats that sense the room temperature. The underfloor heating also has a thermostat that senses the temperature. As a result of this, there is the risk of the two systems working against each other with only one of them providing heat and the other remaining cold. However, this can be overcome by lowering the thermostat on the towel warmer and then using the “boost function” that some of our models are equipped with. (The towel warmer operates on maximum for two hours when programmed regardless of the room temperature, before returning to normal).
