Welcome to a refreshingly different and simpler way of purchasing dual fuel towel rails incorporating a professional looking finish using the best components for a neat installation.

Dual fuel towel rails are the perfect combination of convenience and design, allowing you to keep towels warm all year round. In summer, the electric element ensures your towels are dry and ready. In winter, the central heating connection keeps your bathroom cozy and your towels luxuriously warm.

Dual fuel can be complicated to spec. as it involves knowledge of towel rail (configuration), plumbing (valves) and electrics (wattage) as they cover all these 3 areas equally.

At the heat is on, we provide complete hassle-free shopping, as our dual fuel towel rails collection features complete sets that include everything you need, inclusive ofspecialist dual fuel valves (without the need for a T piece - more later on this) and the correct wattage of heating element.

With over 200 models available, these dual fuel rails are ready to install without the need for you as the homeowner to worry about extra components or whether you’ve bought the right parts.

how the heat is on differs from most suppliers in supplying dual fuel

When shopping for dual fuel towel rails it’s important to see what the the dual fuel towel rail will look like once installed. It won’t look like a piped (central heating) rail or a wired (electric heating) only towel rail, hence homeowners struggle not being able to see images of the full finished setup can be frustrating.

Lots of reputable suppliers offer “dual fuel packs” made up of either valves, a T piece, and a heating element - or - special dual fuel valves that include the T piece and element - which are great but again homeowners struggle to conceptualise how these all fit together. This means homeowners often buy parts without a clear sense of the finished rail and may be ordering the wrong wattage of heating element for the rail.

At the heat is on, our complete dual fuel towel rails collection offer homeowners thorough insight as we have carefully depicted all rails shown fully fitted as dual fuel, so you can see exactly how the finished product will look.

Additionally, the price shown includes all the components you see on screen, so with one “add to basket”, you receive everything you need without even thinking about it - the correct wattage of element, best valves.. both supplied in the most appropriate colour for the towel rail.

what exactly is a dual fuel towel rail?

A dual fuel towel rail works in two ways:

• electric heating – Perfect for summer, allowing you to dry towels or clothes independently of your central heating.
• central heating – During winter, the same rail works with your existing system to provide warmth and comfort.

our complete dual fuel towel rails: what’s included

When you shop our complete sets, every rail comes fully equipped:

• specialist dual fuel valve – Often in a matching colour, ensuring a clean and professional finish. We don’t supply any rails with a T piece, so the finished look is simpler and neater.
• heating element with best features for you in the correct wattage – We offer a wide variety of heating elements including wi-fi, bluetooth and infrared all with different modes of operation and timer functionality - so you have an extensive range to choose from - and most importantly we will supply the correct wattage of heating element for your chosen rail and you don't need to think about or calculate this - as often homeowners (or inexperienced tradesman) get this wrong.
• The internal ONE or external ONE element for example are some of the neatest element for dual fuel as seen here:
• additional extras – In addition you have extra options such as:
• straight or curly wire on the heating element as a coiled wire can often look neater if your rail is very close to the electric supply point
• left or right sided valve setups - so you can ensure the heating element is located on the best side for your room setup - we show mirror images so you can see how it will look in both scenarios
• cable masking options - if you wish to conceal the wire on the heating element from view.
