Yes, an electric baseboard heater can be installed under a towel rack in a bathroom.
A baseboard heater will fall into this category.
There are two types of thermostats. One is a line voltage stat. This is in effect a switch and when turned to the off position the voltage is interrupted and the heater will not operate. The other type of stat is low voltage. There will be a relay in the baseboard heater that the thermostat is connected to. With this type if installation to turn the power completely off you will have to turn the breaker off that feeds the circuit.
Possibly if the kitchen does not have an electric over and electric cook-top and no eclectic water heater in the bathroom. If they are electric have an electrician evaluate what is being powered in the kitchen and the bathroom to determine if a 50 amp sub-panel is large enough. I would for sure at least go with a 60 amp sub-panel.

The Fahrenheat Electric 5120 BTU Baseboard Heater is very energy efficient. Because of its "baseboard" design, it is not necessary to use a powerful to disperse the heat. It uses natural radiance, which saves on electricity costs.
