    Hi all
    I am looking for advice about installing 3 towel rads in a 2200 sq ft new build. I am having AtW heat pump with UFH on both floors. Cylinder wil be in hot press on 1 st floor. 2 bathrooms on 1st floor and 1 on ground floor. Is it possible to somehow incorporate the towel rads with this system as I don't want the electrical versions! Any advise appreciated!

    Of course you can. If you want to dry towels then 33 degrees is adequate (you are not heating the room!) but I would be running UFH hotter than that. If you have an electric element in the rail you can connect your surplus PV solar input so in summer you can heat/dry the towels for free when the HP is off if you have a simple controller. You use towels all year not just in winter.
