When an electrical element is used to heat a towel warmer or radiator you will not get identical performance as you would connected to a central heating system. There is no circulation and it will therefore take longer to heat up and will be noticeably hotter near the element.

After 1 to 2 hours continuous use the heat would of spread but there will still be temperature variances across the surface but this is not a fault.

With a standard heating element the wattage of the element is matched according to the size of the radiator. It will then heat the liquid inside the radiator and the heat is dispersed by the surface area of the radiator. It has the protection of a thermal ‘cut out’ should the element become too hot, however there is no control over the radiator or the room temperature.

Note. IP55 rated. Suitable for installation into IEE Zone 1, 2 or 3.
