Cold weather alert !
Feeling miserable when taking a shower in the chilly weather?
If you're considering installing a space heater in your bathroom to upgrade your bathing experience, what are the things you need to be mindful of?
Confirm the floor area:
Different bathroom sizes require different heater models. If your bathroom is above "2 ping" (approximately 6.6 square meters), it is recommended to install a model with higher wattage for better heating efficiency. For smaller bathroom spaces, you can choose a model with lower wattage, which is not only convenient to install but also energy-saving.
Presence of external exhaust duct:
To effectively eliminate indoor humidity, it's necessary to vent the moisture outside the main structure of the house. If there is no external exhaust duct, accumulated moisture on the ceiling cannot be effectively addressed, and you will only enjoy the heating function.
Voltage in the bathroom:
Most space heaters on the market come in "110V" and "220V" options. Before purchasing, pay special attention to the voltage in your bathroom (you can check the label on the ventilation fan unit for the voltage). This ensures that you don't make a wrong purchase that cannot be installed.
Type of power supply in the bathroom:
For safety reasons, it is generally recommended to use a "single-core wire Ø1.6mm (VVF cable)" for the power supply wiring in the bathroom when installing a space heater. For higher wattage models, a "single-core wire Ø2.0mm" is recommended. If you are unsure, it is advisable to consult a professional plumber for confirmation.
