Towel Rail Heating Elements — Standard, Thermostatic & WiFi
Heating elements convert your central heating towel rail into an electric or dual fuel system. They screw into the bottom inlet (½ inch BSP thread) and heat the thermal fluid inside your rail. All elements include a 1.5m cable and require hardwired installation to a fused spur by a qualified electrician.
Which Element Type Do You Need?
- Standard PTC Element — Fixed temperature (~65°C), self-regulating ceramic technology. Safest option — cannot overheat even if fluid runs low. Best for rental properties and simple setups. Pair with an external timer for scheduling.
- ER-Touch Thermostatic — Adjustable temperature dial (30-60°C) with automatic cycling. Our most popular choice. Includes built-in timer (1-5 hours). 2-year warranty.
- ER WiFi Smart Element — Full app control via Tuya/SmartLife. Set schedules, control remotely, compatible with Google Home and Alexa. Chrome finish only.
Wattage Sizing
Match your element wattage to your towel rail size: up to 800mm height = 150-300W, 800-1200mm = 300-600W, over 1200mm = 600-900W. Never exceed the rail's BTU rating. See our complete wattage guide for detailed sizing by dimensions.
Available in Chrome, White, Black, and Anthracite finishes from 150W to 900W.
Before fitting, check our electric towel rail element mistakes guide — the most common fault is fitting the element at the top instead of the bottom inlet.
