Bathroom heating and heat pump

In the main bathroom, we were also asked during the construction discussion whether we wanted a heating cartridge in the towel radiator or connected to the underfloor heating. We decided on the underfloor heating option, even though we were aware that it wouldn’t provide much heating power. Our general contractor also told us that in advance.

In the toilet, I would probably only take electric. The shower probably won’t be used as often as the one in the main bathroom anyway. Therefore, the electric towel radiator probably won’t be used often.

Because of course you heat even more expensively with pure electric heating than with the air-water heat pump... even if both run on electricity :-)

not really...

We decided on the underfloor heating option, even though we were aware that it wouldn't really provide much heating capacity. Our general contractor also told us that in advance.

As Basti has already described, this approach brings exactly zero added value, but costs about 500 euros upfront...

Why not save the money, or have an electric towel radiator installed with an E-cartridge?

With the temperatures required for underfloor heating, you really can’t warm anything up using a towel radiator.

I understand that, but what exactly doesn’t work is unclear (bathroom too cold would be one possible answer; also: towels too cold ;-) ).

Why not save the money

That is probably a good idea; so don’t install a towel radiator at all. Instead, better use a decent towel holder. For us, too late now ...

For us, the towel radiator (in the underfloor heating circuit) including. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have taken one either. An electric cartridge would have come with a surcharge. But I don’t know how much. I will bring up the topic again with our plumber when the time comes.

Put it on the back of the sink, turn it on, shower, and then stand with your butt in front of it while shaving.

....and then burn your butt as your weight increases :D
