Common Support Questions

Can the electric towel warmer be installed “upside down” to change the power access point?

Yes, most of our wall-mounted towel warmers have a fixed power location in the lower right corner. All of our heated towel racks are electric "dry" (liquid/oil-free) units and most can be installed "upside down". Doing so will result in the power location relocating from the lower right corner to the upper left corner.

Does a towel warmer need to be paired with a GFCI circuit or outlet?

Yes. WarmlyYours towel warmers are to be installed in accordance with the instructions in the manual and CEC, NEC, and local code guidelines relating to electrical fixtures in bathrooms. A towel warmer with a hardwired connection must be on a GFCI-protected circuit and be wired by a professional who is certified to do electrical wiring. Towel warmer models with plug-in connections should be used with a GFCI outlet.

What size wires and breaker will I need for my electric towel warmer?

WarmlyYours towel warmers are all 120VAC units. Towel warmers are available in wattages from 35 watts all the way up to 250 watts. A single towel warmer would typically range from 1-2 amps based on the model. Wire size and breaker size need to be selected based on the total amperage of the towel warmer(s). For towel warmers installed in bathrooms, a GFCI breaker is required.

Can I use a regular light switch to control a towel warmer?

Yes, regular (non-dimming) light switch can be used as an external switch to control a towel warmer in addition to a built-in switch on the towel warmer itself. A GFCI breaker powering the switch may be required by local Electrical Code.

At what height should a wall-mounted towel warmer be mounted?

A good starting point is to follow the recommendation often provided in the installation manual. The location of your electric towel warmer should take building code, safety, functionality, and aesthetics into consideration. If the towel warmer is mounted too low, towels may drag on the floor, causing tripping or mold issues. Mounting it higher reduces risk of burn, especially for children or those who may accidentally bump into it. If you are unsure what height is best for you, consult your WarmlyYours representative at +1 (800) 875-5285.
