    Quiet towel radiators?

    Bathroom Towel Radiator Noise near electric element

    About a year ago, I had the bathroom towel radiator replaced with a larger one, and an electric dual-fuel element added. The wet circuit is driven by a Multi-fuel stove that is rarely used, and the electric element is used almost all winter, on a programmable thermostat, to heat the bathroom...

    Towel warmer staying cold after working initially

    Hey everyone! I have a towel warmer that used to work fine for a few months then all of the sudden stopped. As far as I can tell nothing has changed as in nobody fiddled with the balance of the radiators, the pressure in the combi boiler has been fine, etc. So far I have tried: bleeding the...

    15mm Towel radiator valves with 10mm supply

    I've bought a new chrome towel radiator as the old one is all rusty. I also bought new angled (standard) valves, 1/2" X 15mm as they too are old and rusty. But when I look at what comes out of the wall, it's clearly not 15mm pipe, looks more like 10mm (plastic). How have they gone from 15mm...

    Towel left in boiler by engineer?

    I took out a boiler insurance policy and an engineer came out first to check if my boiler was in a good condition to go ahead with the policy. The engineer said the pressure was too low and fixed the problem. At the end he said it was all fine and shouldn't be a problem, the water was a bit...
