ᐅ Electric water heating system?

Hello everyone,

Normally, my apartment has underfloor heating, including in the bathroom. Additionally, there is a towel radiator installed in the bathroom. At the handover of the apartment (ownership/new build), it was explained to me that this radiator is supplied with warm water through the regular heating circuit. Due to the low temperatures in the past few days, and since the underfloor heating was already turned off, I "activated" the radiator (wink). I then noticed that the radiator also has an electrical connection, a standard plug. Does anyone know what this is for? Is it intended to be used if the heating circuit is completely turned off?

Best regards

Hello again

This is not about the power of the heating element,
but rather that as long as there is water circulation, the radiator will not noticeably warm up.

But maybe it is exactly the 300W that the room was missing on paper.

That was just an example.

Each room has an individual heating load that must be met by the heating system. And if the heating coils are already operating at full capacity but more output is needed, the only options left are wall heating or towel radiators.
