How to Choose the Right Towel Warmer for Your Home

A towel warmer turns a simple bathroom upgrade into everyday comfort. It keeps towels dry, prevents damp smells, and adds a touch of warmth that makes each shower or bath feel more relaxing. The right towel warmer fits the space, matches the home’s heating setup, and delivers steady heat without wasting energy.

Your plumbing system's most crucial element is your septic tank if your home isn't connected to city sewers. Septic tanks are responsible for securely operating all of the wastewater you produce. When your septic system defects work properly, all the wastewater in your home will be stocked. It only means that it comes back to you, untreated and hazardous.

How Utility Warehouse (UW) supports vulnerable customers

Vulnerability can be temporary, sporadic, or permanent – and it isn’t always easy to spot in customers who’ve taken out home services. While some customers are open about their needs, others struggle to explain their requirements, and some don’t ask for help at all – some don’t even know that they qualify and what support is available.
