Stepping out of a nice hot steamy shower on a cold winter morning is dreaded by most. Your superheated body rapidly chills in the winter air and you soon start to shiver and crave the heat of a fluffy, warm electric blanket. While most of us don’t have time to crawl back under the covers in the morning, there is another solution - an electric towel warmer. Electric towel warmers help to ensure that you always have a warm, dry towel to use, meaning you will never have to deal with those early morning, mid winter shivers ever again!
While electric towel warmers are a joy to use, they are surprisingly hard to install. Essentially, your new towel warmer will dub as your bathroom radiator after the installation. So, ladies, locate a handy man; men, find your tools - and follow the instructions below to get your electric towel warmer up and running:
1.) Note that this set of instructions is operating off the assumption that you will be installing your newly purchased towel warmer in the approximate same location as your old radiator.
2.) You will need to drain the hot water from your heating system and turn off the hot water supply to your bathroom radiator.
3.) Cut the hot water return and supply lines from your old radiator. Dispose of the old radiator as desired.
4.) With a pencil, mark on the wall where you would like to install the towel warmer.
5.) Most towel warmers have their supply and return lines on opposite ends of the unit. If your newly purchased towel warmer follows this standard configuration, you will need to cut open your floor and sub floor.
6.) Assemble copper pipe to the supply and return lines, which should be sticking up from the sub floor.
7.) Solder the copper pipe fittings for both lines.
8.) Place a threaded copper adapter on the end of both the supply and return lines.
9.) Replace the floor and sub floor. (Note: if you have ever thought about re-flooring your bathroom, now would be a perfect time to do it!)
10.) Install the towel warmer using the provided manufacturer hardware and instructions. Make sure that the unit is firmly positioned against the floor and the wall.
11.) Turn the hot water supply for the bathroom radiator back on. Check the unit for leaks.
12.) Enjoy the experience of always having a hot, dry towel on those cold winter mornings, or any time!

Choosing the Right Towel Warmer?
Towel warmers are one of the most inexpensive, but indulgent items that you can place in a bathroom area. Why have a cold, damp towel when you can have a warm dry one ready for you when you get out of the tub or shower? When you decide to purchase a towel warmer for your home, there are a couple of things that you should look for before you buy. Since towel warmers come in many styles and capacities, you will want to take your time to shop and find the one that is right for you and your bathroom. Some towel warmers simply plug in to an outlet in your bathroom. If you have an outlet near the space where you would like to locate your towel warmer, then this should be fine for you. Other towel warmers require you to wire the towel warmer into your home electrical system. You should only buy this type of towel warmer if you are prepared to have a certified electrician install the warmer for you. Consider the size of your bathroom when purchasing a towel warmer. If you have a large bathroom, you will probably have plenty of space for a large towel warmer. You can buy a unit that either hangs on the wall or one that stands upright on the floor. It’s up to you to decide which kind of towel warmer is right for the space that you have. You should also consider how many people are using that particular bathroom in your home. If the towel warmer is going to be located in a central bathroom which everyone in the family uses, you will want it to have enough space to hang several towels at once. There are plenty of attachments that you might want to purchase for your towel warmer. One of the most popular ones is a robe hook. You can attach it to the towel warmer and hang your robe so that your robe will be warm and toasty when you need it. Keep these things in mind when you are purchasing a towel warmer and you will be able to find the one that is right for you and your family.

A electric towel warmer uses electricity to warm a stainless steel tube. A simple one can easily be plugged into an outlet. If you want hard-wired installation, which wires the warmer directly to your home’s electric wiring, it should be done by a licensed electrician. Additional uses for a towel warmer include drying hand washable items, drying bathing suits in the summer, drying damp jackets and coats in the winter, robes, blankets, and whatever other items you want to dry. Some towel warmers can be mounted on the wall. This saves floor space and stops the worry about tipping the warmer over. Towel warmers are energy efficient and use less electricity than an electric dryer. They can also control mildew and extra moisture in the bathroom. You can also save lots of money by cutting down on extra loads of laundry since you can dry towels and discourage your family’s habit of throwing towels in the washer every time they are used. A towel warmer can become a necessity in your eyes instead of the ultimate luxury that it may start out to be.
