We are having a new bathroom fitted and were going to get one of those tall ladder towel radiator wotsits. I'd thought of paying a bit extra to have it made dual function so that it can be switched on when our central heating is off to dry our towels better or just to make the bathroom a bit more toasty when it's a bit too warm to have the CH on.
However the bathroom fitter was quite surprised when we said about the dual function bit as he hardly ever gets customers asking for that, they usually just want the radiator function. He doesn't reckon we would need the heat if the weather is too warm to have central heating off?
Is he right? Does anyone have a dual function one that they don't bother switching on if central heating is off? Or is it better to have that choice? I don't want to waste money on having the extra element fitted to work off the electrics if I won't end up making much use of it.
