Towel Rails
Hello
We're in the process of having our central heating refurbished - new boiler plus radstats and tankstat. As a result of losing the gravity circulation, our upstairs rads will now only be warm when the central heating is on - ie not also when the hot water is on. To make up for this we are thinking of replacing the bathroom radiator with an electrically assisted towel rail - so that it can be switched on when the heating is off. I'm a little concerned about the mixture of hot-water (=corrosion), mains voltage and bathrooms. How safe are these installations, what special safeguards do they need and what level of professional qualification do I need to look for in an installer. In particular, can these devices generally be safely installed by corgi registered plumbers as part of the refurbishment or do we need to get in an electrician? Many Thanks Jack |
