FAQs
What is the BTU output of this radiator?
While specific BTU output is not provided, the GoodHome Duala is described as having high heating efficiency suitable for warming bathrooms and drying towels.
Can this radiator be used with an electric heating element?
This model is designed for central heating systems. Use with an electric element would require a specific conversion kit or an electric-only model.
What type of valves are needed for installation?
Standard radiator valves (straight or angled, depending on pipework) are typically required. A lockshield valve and a thermostatic or manual radiator valve are essential. Consult your plumber for the specific types recommended for your system.
How often should I bleed the radiator?
Bleeding is usually only necessary if you notice the radiator is not heating up properly or is cold at the top. Check annually or when you observe performance issues.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation or the retailer's website for the most accurate and up-to-date warranty information.
Can I paint over the matt white finish?
It is not recommended to paint over the radiator's finish, as this could affect its heat output and potentially void the warranty. If painting is desired, consult the manufacturer's guidelines.
Troubleshooting
Radiator is not heating up
Check if the central heating system is on. Ensure the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) or manual valve is open. Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air. If the issue persists, consult a qualified plumber.
Radiator is only partially hot
This often indicates trapped air. Bleed the radiator starting from the top valve until water appears, then retighten. If the bottom remains cold, there might be a blockage or an issue with water circulation, requiring professional assessment.
Leaking from valves or connections
Ensure all valve connections are tightened correctly. If leaking persists, the valve may need to be replaced or the pipework resealed. This should be performed by a qualified plumber.
Towel drying slowly
Ensure the radiator is adequately sized for the bathroom and that your heating system is operating efficiently. Avoid overcrowding the radiator with too many towels, which can impede airflow and drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation of the GoodHome Duala towel radiator requires connection to your home's central heating system. This typically involves plumbing work to integrate it into your existing pipework. It is strongly recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified plumber to ensure safety and correct functioning. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free.
