Hello,
in addition to the underfloor heating (air-to-water heat pump), we will have a towel radiator installed in the bathroom. As standard, our general contractor also connects it to the underfloor heating system. However, wouldn’t it make more sense to operate it electrically due to the low flow temperature and its dependence on the operation of the main heating system?
What are your thoughts on this?

then Mom warms the towel a bit, and that’s fine.What is that supposed to be good for? Don’t you have a proper heating system in the bathroom that heats everything?
We only had the electrical outlets installed for now, but we removed the radiators. In our current apartment, the radiator is connected to the underfloor heating on the correct wall pipe and is mainly used to pre-warm towels in winter. We don’t necessarily need it, but it also serves as a towel rack and it’s nice to have warm towels in winter.

These units tend to rust from the inside, which can cause debris in the underfloor heating pipes when the radiator is connected.
However, I would recommend reviewing the heat load calculation and possibly adjusting the standard temperatures according to the energy-saving regulations for the calculation. Many people find 24°C (75°F) air temperature in the bathroom to be quite warm.

Water alone won’t warm it up; it’s only useful for hanging towels. That’s how we have it. We do have an outlet underneath, but nothing is connected to it. For bathing the baby, we use a fan heater plugged into an Alexa-controlled outlet in the corner. You can switch it on from the dining table if you want to bathe the little one spontaneously. Since the bathroom is large enough, the 21°C (70°F) already there should be sufficient... five minutes with the fan heater is enough to reach 25°C (77°F).
