The best of heated towel rails

Robert Oates of Pretoria writes How ecofriendly are heated towel rails? How much electricity do they use and are they really worthwhile?

Mark Bennett, sales and marketing director at Jeeves, replies Although heated towel rails were once considered a luxury, they are now considered a bathroom essential. And little wonder: apart from ensuring a constant supply of warm, hygienically dry towels, heated towel rails help save water and electricity as towels need to be washed less frequently. Our world-renowned products not only create a sense of elegance and luxury in the bathroom, but also have a gentle impact to ensure environmental sustainability.

To this end, our electric heated towel rails, for example, are engineered to use electricity intermittently and only when required. Courtesy of our innovative Automated Heating Technology (AHT), our advanced heated towel rails do not rely on constant user input to regulate operating times, heat levels and energy consumption. For your convenience, these ever-changing functions are performed automatically so that you can experience the sheer pleasure of a heated towel rail without having to constantly concern yourself with manual temperature controls or resetting complex digital timers after loadshedding. The net result is that the heating cost is similar to that of a standard light bulb!

We also offer another energy-efficient option called Hydronic Heating. Ideal for systems with a heat pump or utilising solar power, hydronic heated towel rails do away with electrical heating elements as they are designed to operate as part of a recirculating hot water system. It’s worth noting that solar-generated hot water together with a wholly solar-powered circulation pump allows for grid-free heating. Quite simply, you can enjoy the delights of a heated towel rail, totally off the grid!
