Heated towel rails

Kiwis have a love affair with heated towel rails but a single heated towel rail costs about $9 a month to run if you keep it on 24 hours a day – over $100 a year.  Heated towel rails consume somewhere around 5% of all household electricity.  Spread over 1.6 million households, this represents a huge amount of electricity just to keep our towels warm.

Do your wallet and the nation a favour and if you need to use heated towel rails, turn them on only when you need them – 4 hours a day should be plenty – you could install a timer.
