Heated Towel Rails for Bathroom Renovations
If you're renovating your bathroom, it's a good time to plan the electrical requirements for your heated towel rail.
Installing the wiring before walls are finished can help keep the finished installation neat and reduce the need for additional alterations later.

Bathroom lighting

LED lighting

New Heated Towel Rail Installation
If you're adding a heated towel rail to a bathroom that doesn't currently have one, we'll assess the existing electrical installation and determine the most suitable way to provide power to the new unit.
Depending on the property and installation, this may involve installing new wiring, an electrical connection, switching or other electrical components.
The exact requirements will depend on the towel rail and the existing electrical system.
Replacing an Existing Heated Towel Rail
Replacing an existing heated towel rail doesn't always mean the electrical connection can simply be reused.
Different models can have different electrical requirements, and the condition of the existing wiring and connection should be considered.
We'll check the existing installation and determine whether it is suitable for the replacement towel rail or whether electrical work is required.
Timers & Controls
A heated towel rail doesn't necessarily need to operate continuously.
Depending on the product and installation, a timer or suitable control can allow the towel rail to operate at selected times.
This can be useful for bathrooms where you want towels warmed before and after use without leaving the towel rail running all day.
If you're interested in adding a timer or control to your heated towel rail, we can discuss the available electrical options.
Heated Towel Rails & Bathroom Electrical Safety
Bathrooms require careful consideration when electrical equipment is installed because of the presence of water and moisture.
The location and electrical installation of a heated towel rail need to be appropriate for the bathroom environment and the specific product being installed.
Our electricians can assess the proposed installation location and complete the electrical connection in accordance with the relevant requirements.
If you're planning a bathroom renovation, we recommend discussing the electrical requirements early in the project so wiring and connections can be planned before the walls and finishes are completed.
Can You Install a Heated Towel Rail Anywhere?
The suitable location for a heated towel rail depends on the bathroom layout, the product being installed and the relevant electrical requirements.
Before installation, we'll consider the position of the towel rail, the available electrical supply and how the unit will be controlled.
If you're unsure where your heated towel rail should be positioned, we can discuss the electrical considerations with you and coordinate with your bathroom installer where necessary.
