Affordable heated towel rails——Byecold

We’ve said it before but we’ll say it again. Heated towel rails are one of the most misunderstood bathroom enhancers around. For starters, many people think that they exist to warm up your towels – but their actual function is to dry them. Then there’s the idea that they’re expensive to run. As no five-star spa or luxury home would be complete without a heated towel rail, people often consider them an expensive indulgence. Thing is, a heated towel rail is actually a great investment that, over the long run, saves you money and time!

Here’s to less laundry

As we said, a heated towel rail is there to dry your towels. Once you pop your damp towel over one of its heated rails, it dries it much faster than it would all by itself – say, hanging over the back of a door. Because of this speedy turnaround from icky and damp to fabulously fluffy and dry, bacteria doesn’t have as much time to grow. This is why you don’t have to wash towels that are placed on heated towel rails as often as you would those that dry on their own. Also, with a heated towel rail in your life, you don’t have to turn on the tumble drier, possibly one of the most “power-hungry” appliances in any home. Just like that, you’ve got a two-fold bill utility bill reduction right there!

Leave it on and forget about it!

Another thing that surprises people about heated towel rails is the fact that they’re designed to run all day. Many think the most energy-efficient way to use them is to only switch them on after hanging up a damp towel. Thing is, repeatedly turning them off and then firing them up again – even though Byecold heated towel rails can reach their desired temperature in mere minutes – isn’t necessary. As the average heated towel rail only uses about as much electricity as a 60 to 180W lightbulb you can leave them on all day without having to worry about being hit with a big energy bill. In fact, if you’re benefiting from those laundry reduction savings, you’ll get to enjoy a drop in household costs from the very first month. This way, your heated towel rail may even essentially pay for itself over time!

Save even further with Byecold

Not all heated towel rails are created equally. While it might be tempting to buy a bargain basement heated towel rail to save money initially, it’s inferior quality will come back to bite you in the long run. Rather invest in a top-quality heated towel rail such as those you’ll find at Byecold. This way, you can capitalise even further on those brilliant utility bill savings.
