Electric heater for far bathroom

[Don2222]

Hello

I put a 220 volt 900 watt kick space heater in out raised hearth under the wood pellet stove for extra heat!

Also put a Hydronic kick space heater in the raised hearth under the gas fireplace for extra heat!

Both work very well if we ever use them!

If you're looking to add electrical resistance heat, you might consider also adding a small dehumidifier to remove moisture and recover latent heat. Even in summer we prefer a hotter, drier bathroom.

In Amazon, search "kickspace electric heater."

Are these heaters, Infrared and PTC, anything to consider? Or not worth it?

I installed radiant electric floor heat in our bathroom its on a programmable thermostat it's the bomb when it's cold so if you ever upgrade your flooing in the bathroom get it put in you'll love stepping onto a 72 degree floor when getting out of the shower and nice and toasty room

72 degrees is not going to feel warm on your feet. just saying...

Started using one of these last year for our isolated (relative to the stove) bathroom. Keeps it a few degrees warmer than it would be otherwise.

Well it feels better than un heated freezing tiles just saying. Pick what ever temp you like and enjoy

I think it will be very comfrotable. Get an IR gun sometime and check temps of things. 72 degree floor is warmer than most.

So any electric heater, that's heating the room to the same temp, costs the same to operate?

Pretty much. Electric to heat conversion is 97-99%, what matters is is number of watts consumed so if each heater is consuming the same wattage the efficiency should be identical.

Get one on a programmable thermostat your only in the bathroom a couple times a day so shouldn't be that expensive to use

I put in wall Broan electric heaters with fan for under a $100 each in my bathrooms and they heat the 6x10 bathrooms in under 2-3 minutes. I turn it on and by the time I get out the br is warm and so is the tile in front of the shower. It is so cheap to use them I still haven't figured out the cost, maybe 8 cents? a day

In under the sink blowing on your toes whether in the br or the kitchen is just about the best thing ever.

I have a ceiling mount, fan/light/heater combo and it is great for use during showers. No worries about freezing pipes, just cold tile floor, and slightly more chilly then the rest of the house. The heater and a couple small rugs works for me.
I just flip the switch for heat a few minuted prior to shower, and let it warm up while I grab clothes and stuff prior to showering, nice and toasty when I get out.

It's lame, but we just use a little 15 dollar heater fan that sits on the counter (gfci outlet of course). In the deep winter we were sometimes down into the high 50s in the bathroom on the weekends. At 900 watts it brings the bathroom up pretty quick.

Put it int he vanity for the summer.
