Benefits of Dual Fuel for Cost Effective Year-Round Bathroom Heating

Dual Fuel Towel Rails

In terms of what they are and how they work, the dual fuel towel rail is supplied with no fluid inside it as it is plumbed directly into the home’s standard central heating system. This in turn allows it to be used in the same way as any other radiator, when the main central heating system is activated. However, what makes the dual fuel rail different is the way in which it also features an electrical heating element. This in turn means that it can also be used when the main central heating is switched off, providing greater control and flexibility throughout the year.

Central Heating Powered Towel Rails

While a towel rail heated using the home’s central heating system can be both effective and efficient, they are limited in the fact that they can only be used when the central heating is switched on. As such, in warmer months where the heating may be switched off but the heated towel rail still required, this can be problematic.

Electric Only Towel Rails

The benefit of the electric towel rail is of course that it can be controlled and used independently at any time, regardless of whether or not the main central heating system is on or off. A thermostat can keep the temperature under control and electric towel rails are easy to install. On the downside, they also have the potential to be considerably less energy efficient than other types of towel rails.

Dual Fuel Heated Towel Rails

This is precisely the reason why the dual fuel towel rail represents the single most advantageous choice of all – they bring together the best of both electric and central heating powered rails. Along with being plumbed into the central heating system, the addition of a heating element allows the rail to be used and controlled at any time, even when the central heating is switched off. This can be particularly useful in the summer, when central heating tends to be turned off but heated towel rails are still required. In addition, to power the rail using the home’s central heating system during the winter represents a much more economical option than powering an electric-only heater for several months each year. Built to last and more often than not supplied with extensive guarantees, dual fuel heated towel rails represent a long-term investment in both superior quality and energy efficiency for the home.
