A Bathroom Ceiling Heater Against Those Cold Winter Mornings
Bathrooms are small, separate environments within our homes that are constantly under assault from dampness.
Constant airflow through them is necessary to prevent against mildew and other effects of lingering water upon surfaces.
To this end, vents are normally placed in a window frame or in bathroom ceilings.
However, if you live almost anywhere in North America or Europe, bringing in even small amounts of air from outside the home will create real discomfort several months out of each year.
A bathroom ceiling heater is your first line of defense on those cold mornings.
Naturally you could crank up the heat in the entire house, just to warm up the bathroom, but is this expensive solution really necessary when your family is probably going to be leaving soon for work or school? People often use space heaters to warm up a room, but if you've ever brushed up against one accidentally in a small bathroom before you are fully awake, you know that this is another imperfect solution.
A bathroom ceiling heater incorporates the precision heating of a space heater without the overkill of raising the temperature of the entire house.
Obviously too, it is out of the way of children and pets, as well as adults, and over the long-term this is a safety aspect that cannot be ignored.
A walk through a large do-it-yourself retailer will present you with many different bathroom heaters, so you should have no problem finding one with power usage, heating capacity and looks to suit you.
Ease of installation is also key if you don't want to pay a handyman or contractor.
Look for an adjustable ceiling heater, especially if you live at a latitude with widely varying temperatures throughout the year.
Another feature probably worth paying for is a thermostat that will automatically turn the heater off when the temperature of the room reaches a certain level.
Efficiency is worth paying for the long run as it saves on power bills.
The bottom line with bathroom ceiling heaters is that in addition to greatly increasing your comfort on those cold winter mornings, the heat they produce can have an evaporative effect that enables you to reduce your usage of the bathroom vent or eliminate its use altogether.
In this way you keep mold and mildew to a minimum, without having to rely solely on a vent allowing cold air inside.
In addition to increased comfort for your family, view a purchase on your heater as an investment in your home, because that's exactly what it is.
