What kind of household bathroom heater is good? Which one is more practical?

We all know that bathroom heaters are a very common heating product in the bathroom. Many people install bathroom heaters in their homes, especially those with large bathrooms. There are many styles of bathroom heaters on the market, and different bathroom heaters have different effects. So what kind of bathroom heater is good for the bathroom? Let's take a closer look!

How to choose a bathroom heater suitable for the bathroom

1. Bathroom space size

If the bathroom space is relatively small, then there will be a lot of waste generated by bathing. At this time, we can consider a bathroom heater with a particularly good ventilation function; if it is a newly renovated house, we can consider installing the bathroom heater in the ceiling space, which is both beautiful and does not take up space; if it is an old house, we have to consider installing a ceiling-mounted bathroom heater. Is the ceiling height enough? Is there a ceiling above? If the height is not enough or there is no ceiling, you can consider a wall-mounted bathroom heater, that is, a bulb-type bathroom heater.

⒉You can choose a bathroom heater with a higher degree of intelligence

For example, it has functions such as heating, lighting, ventilation, and air purification. Personally, I particularly like the bathroom heater that will automatically cut off the power when the temperature rises to a certain level, so as to avoid a short circuit in the bathroom heater.

⒊ Choose the power of the bathroom heater according to the size of the bathroom and the height of the ceiling

I personally recommend buying a bathroom heater with four bulbs for bathrooms of different sizes. Generally, the four bulbs of this type of bathroom heater can be divided into three groups and controlled independently, which is both energy-saving and conducive to heating.

⒋ Be sure to choose a bathroom heater with 3C certification

Certified bathroom heaters are generally produced by large manufacturers, have a relatively long service life, are safe and reliable, and it is easy to find the manufacturer even if there are after-sales or dangers.

Types of bathroom heaters

As a bathroom bathing and heating device, bathroom heaters can be divided into the following types according to the heating principle.

The first type: light bulb type bathroom heater

The working principle is that special infrared quartz is used to heat the bulb to release heat, thereby directly heating the indoor air.

Main advantages: no preheating is required, the temperature of the bathing space can be instantly increased, less power consumption, the price is lower than other bathroom heaters, and it is easy to install and maintain.

Main disadvantages: The heating space is small, and the upper body is usually very hot and the lower body is very cold; if the eyes look directly into each other's eyes, it is easy to cause damage to the eyes. If children use this kind of bathroom heater to bathe, it is recommended to bathe under the care of an adult; this kind of bulb-type bathroom heater has poor moisture-proof and waterproof effects on all sides, and the mist generated during bathing can easily corrode the internal circuits of the bathroom heater, resulting in a short service life.

The second type, PTC Yuba

Generally, it consists of heating element, electric fan and panel, etc., and uses PTC ceramic heating element as heat source. The main working principle of PTC Yuba is the same as that of air conditioning heating, which allows indoor air to circulate, and the cold air is sucked in from the air inlet, and then heated by the PTC heating element, and the "air" is heated by circulating the indoor hot air.

Main advantages: It will only raise the indoor temperature but will not emit light, thus avoiding eye damage. It also has a high heat energy conversion rate and a long service life of more than 5,000 hours. The indoor temperature is relatively balanced, and there will not be a situation where the upper body and head are hot and the lower body is cold like in a bulb-type bathroom heater.

Main disadvantage: PTC bathroom heater must be turned on in advance, otherwise the indoor space will be very cold because it needs to be preheated to warm up the indoor space.

The third type: double warm current bathroom heater

This kind of bathroom heater is a combination of the two mentioned above. It heats up very quickly. Its advantages and disadvantages are the same as the above two types of bathroom heaters, so I will not explain them in detail here. Liu Zhi believes that this kind of forecast is not of great significance. The main function of a bathroom heater is heating. Most consumers choose one of the two, that is: one heating function is enough, and there is no need to choose another heating function and spend more money.

The fourth type is far-infrared heat wave bathroom heater

It is a bathroom heater that is heated by far-infrared heating tubes. The far-infrared heat wave tubes promote the body's metabolism and activate the functioning of cells in the body. It is a bit like a disinfection cabinet, heating objects through the infrared rays radiated by far-infrared heat waves.

Main advantages: First, it has a certain health care effect, the human body is preheated more evenly, there is no noise, no explosion, and no harm to the eyes; the product has good sealing, so it also has waterproof and moisture-proof functions.

Main disadvantages: The heating range is very small, and generally only the position where light shines will have temperature. This product is mainly used to avoid damage to the eyes.

Notes on installing bathroom heater

⒈ All electrical wires must be waterproof wires, the wires should be cut into the wall as much as possible, and the lines should be covered with plastic tubes.

⒉ The switch of the bathroom heater must have a waterproof cover to prevent water vapor from entering the switch and causing a short circuit.

⒊ Check the switches and circuits of bathroom heaters that have been used for a long time to make sure there are no damaged circuits.

⒋ The bathroom heater should not be too thick, because it needs to be installed on the top. The normal height of our bathroom is about 2.7 meters. We need to leave space for the ceiling and install the bathroom heater, so it must not be too thick. Normally, it will be about 20 centimeters. Otherwise, it will be difficult to install later.

5. The bathroom heater must be installed in the bathing center. This installation method can evenly irradiate the temperature of the bathroom heater in the bathroom, which is conducive to heating.

6. The bathroom heater should not be installed too low. The temperature of some bathroom heaters is above 1100w. If it is installed too low, it is easy to cause the head of the bather to overheat and cause discomfort or unnecessary injuries.
