Heated Towel Rail Reliability.

Zoomup

How reliable are Terma electrically heated towel rails. I have a customer that has a failed heating element/thermostat unit. The new part cost will be about £90.00. Has anyone else had any experiences with these models. The model my customer has is a Terma Alex One. It is about two years old from new. The old Dimplex oil filled towel rails lasted for much longer than two years.

    You have a contract under the consumer rights act with the seller ie the person you paid the money too, there is no cut off date , the law states goods must last a reasonable amount of time.

    But if the customer bought the towel rail, it's the customer's problem, not the electrician's.

    Quite so. Supply and fit, the electrician is responsible. Fit only, only if the fitting was defective.
