ᐅ Bathroom Heating and Heat Pump

Good evening,

We have the opportunity to get two towel radiators from Schulte for a low price, but we are unsure if they will work with our planned heat pump. Both models operate with hot water and have a thermostat connection.

1.77 m (5 ft 10 in) long and 77 cm (30 in) wide. No. 1 for the main bathroom, No. 2 for the guest bathroom.

Should we go for it or are they useless?

Do you have the new heating cartridge? Then yes, if the system is coordinated with the heating engineer.

I have often read that towel radiators connected to a heat pump are "ineffective" because they don’t get really warm due to the low flow temperature. We will also have a heat pump (air-to-water heat pump) and a towel radiator, but ours will not be connected to the heat pump; it will operate purely electrically to ensure it gets genuinely warm. I want to use the towel radiator mainly to have the option to heat the bathroom more during transitional seasons and, of course, to warm towels.

If it is not connected to the heating circuit, then it works well. With underfloor heating, the temperature is generally quite low. This is not necessarily related to the heat pump.

That’s the only way it makes sense...

Does the living room then have 19°C (66°F) during the transition period, and is the bathroom heated electrically to 22°C (72°F)? How exactly does that work?
