Hello everyone,

Could you tell me if it makes sense to install towel radiators in bathrooms alongside underfloor heating when using an air-to-water heat pump, with the towel radiators also being heated by the air-to-water heat pump?

Thanks!

It is simply very unfavorable for the heating load; a wall surface heating system would be better.

Hmm, this is neither planned nor within the budget.
So better to leave it out?
Why is the radiator bad for the AZ?

You need a second circuit with higher supply temperatures, which lowers the performance coefficient. There are also electric heating rods that can be switched on when needed.

Okay, so rather skip the radiator?

Yes, simply have it installed electrically by a professional, or purchase and install it yourself. This is the most economical approach.
