As the weather gets colder, you need a bathroom heater to take a shower. If you haven't installed one yet, look at these points first before choosing.

As winter gets closer and closer, the south is still fine, but the north has gradually turned cooler. Once the weather turns cold, taking a shower becomes a problem you have to face. With the development of technology and social progress, everyone has installed a bathroom heater in their own bathroom, so taking a shower every day is no longer a difficult thing.

A bathroom heater is the heating device we commonly use when taking a shower in winter. At present, bathroom heaters on the market keep emerging one after another, but generally speaking, bathroom heaters fall into the lamp-heating type and the fan-heating type. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of these two types of bathroom heaters, and how should we choose? Xiaojingzhi Life is learning together with you today.

1. Lamp-heating type bathroom heater

The principle of the lamp-heating type bathroom heater is to use specially made infrared quartz heating bulbs as the heat source, raising the temperature of the space through thermal radiation. Not only can it heat, but the bulbs can also bring light to the bathroom. Generally speaking, the power of lamp heating is around 1000W.

Because it heats directly through thermal radiation, the temperature rises quickly, and you can feel the heat as soon as you turn on the bathroom heater, and the bulbs can be replaced at will, making maintenance fairly convenient. However, the lamp-heating type bathroom heater can only heat locally, and cannot make the temperature of the space reach a balanced effect, and the strong light easily causes discomfort to the eyes, especially if there are children at home, it is recommended not to use it.

For bathrooms that are generally not large but have a slightly higher ceiling, you can choose a lamp-heating type bathroom heater. When installing it, it should be installed in the central position at the top of the bathroom.

2. Fan-heating type bathroom heater

The fan-heating type bathroom heater generally heats through PTC ceramic and then uses a fan to spread the heat, which is similar to the principle of an air conditioner. Generally speaking, the power of fan heating is between 1000W-2500W.

The heating method of the fan-heating type bathroom heater is relatively mild, and it can evenly raise the indoor temperature, and will not give you the feeling of a hot head and cold feet like lamp heating does. However, the temperature of fan heating rises relatively slowly. When it is first turned on, what blows out is cold air, so it needs to be turned on a while in advance before taking a shower to preheat and raise the temperature, and the power consumption is also relatively large.

For the installation position of fan heating, try not to let the air outlet face the shower area directly. Otherwise, when taking a shower, there is water on your body, and even if it is hot air, it will absorb the body's heat because of water evaporation. This is also the reason why many people feel that the effect of fan heating is not as good as lamp heating. The installation position is very important.

3. Hybrid type bathroom heater

At present, there is also a hybrid type bathroom heater on the market that combines fan heating and lamp heating, integrating two sets of heating systems into one. Although it is not considered a new product, it is also a relatively compromise choice. It has a better heating effect than a pure lamp-heating bathroom heater, and heats up faster than pure fan heating. However, the disadvantages are also those of both, and it has relatively high requirements for the installation position.

Here is a little trick: before taking a shower, turn on the fan heating first. After the temperature rises, enter the bathroom, turn off the fan heating and switch to lamp heating. It is both comfortable and power-saving.

Whether it is a lamp-heating type bathroom heater, a fan-heating type bathroom heater, or a hybrid type bathroom heater, because it is used in a wet environment with water like a bathroom, safety comes first. When choosing, everyone should first choose products from major brands with guarantees. For lamp-heating bathroom heaters, you should also pay attention to the choice of explosion-proof lamps, and when installing, you must also pay attention to choosing qualified wires and paying attention to the waterproofing of the lines. Safety first!
