Expert Answer

Good afternoon, Olga. Of course, installing an electric heated towel rail will reduce air humidity in the bathroom (and it is this factor that causes the development of fungal microorganisms). With full confidence, we can say that next to the heating device, mold cannot develop. However, whether the capacity of the heated towel rail will be enough to drain the air throughout the room, only its operation in real conditions will show.

Finally, I would like to advise you to check the supply and exhaust ventilation. Perhaps the increased humidity is caused by its malfunctioning? As for radical measures to eliminate the fungus, then, as practice has shown, one of the best ways to deal with it is the installation of a warm floor.
