Yes, they act as a normal radiator (very hot) when the central heating is on and with electric element (only about 150W (150)) they dry the towels and if left on get quite warm.Reading this thread, we appear to be talking about a towel rail/radiator for a wet central heating system which also contains an electrical heating element (a bit like having an immersion heater in a usually-gas-heated hot water cylinder). Is that the case? If so, it's an animal that I didn't know existed - although I guess it's logical enough (for warm summer towels!)
Google for dual fuel towel rails.Thanks, guys, for confirming what I had assumed from reading this thread. It does seem a totally local concept - I'm just surprised that I've never come across such beasts! I'm familiar with ordinary 'wet' ones, and also oil-fileld electric (only) ones, but I obviously haven't lived enough to see these 'hybrids'!
