Hmm. Maybe I should leave mine on. Do you leave it on even in the summer (when it wouldn't ever activate anyway)? You've just blown my mind a little bit.

No, the room is hot enough in summer with the sun light/big windows, we only turned it on maybe late Dec when it finally started to get cold in our place.
We also leave the lounge door shut so it's not constantly trying to heat up the rest of the house.
It's meant to be a relatively efficient heating method (for electric).

I meant thermostat for the towel rail - ours must have one or it would just melt down.
I thought underfloor is meant to be left on as well. Ours wouldn't be warm if it was on for only 2hrs so we just leave it on and set it to 60-65F which I think is high teens low 20s C?
Our bathroom is kept warm by closing the door and leaving the towel rail warm it up. Not sure how warm but it was definitely warmer than the bedroom when it was 13degC (before we got the elec heater in there to keep the window dry).
