What is the difference between a hydronic unit and an electric unit?
The hydronic heating system is when water is heated in a boiler then it flows through piping going through every radiator I the house it also goes through the towel warmer in the bathroom. The hydronic towel warmer has valves that let the water flow through it. The flow of this hot water heats the towel warmer. The electrical AMBA towel warmer is sealed closed with an oily substance inside that is heated by a “heating element”. In the case of a hydronic version, during the summer, the heating system would be switched off therefore the towel warmer can not dry the towels. Electric units are simpler to install, can be installed anywhere and in the summer the towels will stay dry.
