Bathroom Fan Heaters

If you’ve been thinking of adding heat to a bathroom that either has a problem with heat or doesn’t have any at all, bathroom fan heaters are a great choice. There are some things you might want to consider before getting started. When heating a bathroom you will most likely need to know the size of the bathroom before choosing the type of bathroom fan heater. This will make a huge difference when it comes time to heat your bathroom as well as circulate and draw the air out.

This is what many people aren’t aware of when dealing with a bathroom fan heater is that they perform three different functions. They pull air out, they heat, and they force heat in. So knowing the size of the bathroom is very important. The larger the bathroom the more CFM you will need. CFM is ‘cubic feet per minute.’ This will tell you how much air will be moved in any given minute. Some fans are as low as 40CFM and as high as 110CFM or higher.

The example would be a bathroom that is 8×5 feet, with an 8 foot ceiling. This bathroom would be considered a 40ft area. So that would equal a fan that is a 40CFM or 1ft=1CFM. This will tell you what size fan will work for your bathroom. Now some people may think that this is not important. What happens when you don’t get the correct size fan is, after taking a shower your bathroom is completely fogged out and the fan isn’t circulating correctly.

The other thing that happens is, if you don’t have the right amount of circulation, you will have mold and moisture problems over time. So this is very important to get the correct size fan in your bathroom fan heater. Once you have all of this figured out, now it’s time to think about what type of heat you will want. You can choose from a heat lamp style, forced air heat, and even a wall heater with an extraction fan.

All of these options are available and it’s really up to you which type you choose. The next item is the style and color of your bathroom fan heater. You have many different choices when it comes to style, so you will really want to find something that will complement the theme of your bathroom, as well as being user friendly and functional. All of these items will help you choose the correct bathroom fan heater.

There is one more important item to consider and that is installation. You want to make sure that the fan you choose is of the correct voltage, as well as compatible with your current wiring. Now this isn’t a deal breaker but if you are trying to replace something that is already there, this will make the most sense. If you are planning to make a new installation than it really doesn’t matter because you can always re-wire if the need arises. Choosing a bathroom fan heater doesn’t have to be complicated, just follow the information provided in this article.
