I thought, our potential heat pump supplier thought, we’d agreed the final design specifications for our install. But we have a problem. Well I do. The installer wants to remove the current ladder type towel rails in two bathrooms and replace them with standard Stelrad radiators to meet emitter requirements. These are the radiators that they supply. That would leave us with no way to hang or dry towels.
One radiator requirement is 1181watts @50C and the other 600 watts @50C. 
Has anyone else had this issue and how did you resolve it?

I’ve looked at some suppliers on line and there do seem to be high output options available - I suppose I could have the standard radiators installed and simply replace them but that seems very wasteful. 

 

We have both Normal Rad for heating the room and then a small towel rad for towels.

As the towel rad is only for towels its much smaller so we could fit it in the space (Ensuite) and with lower flow temps of the heatpump the towel rad would not heat the room it does dry the towels very well even at this lower temp.
