Koja je energetski najučinkovitija grijalica?

Grijalice koje zrače su energetski najučinkovitije grijalice kada se koriste kraće. Oni zrače toplinu na osobe i predmete u neposrednoj blizini, gdje se toplina može zadržati dulje. Konvekcijske grijalice najmanje su energetski učinkovite jer upuhuju zagrijani zrak u prostoriju koji se lako može izgubiti kada su vrata otvorena ili ako prozori nisu dobro zabrtvljeni. Također im treba više vremena da se zagriju.

Je li sigurno koristiti grijač u kupaonici?

Većina prijenosnih električnih grijača nije prikladna za upotrebu u prostorijama s visokom vlagom (kao što su kupaonice) jer:

1. električne grijalice koje se koriste u blizini vode predstavljaju opasnost od strujnog udara za sve članove obitelji
2. vlaga u zraku može uzrokovati hrđanje unutarnjih elemenata u uređaju s vremenom, što dovodi do kraćeg životnog vijeka.

Međutim, to su prijenosni grijači (iako ih je vrlo malo) koji su posebno dizajnirani za korištenje u kupaonici. Elektrika i voda nikada nisu dobra kombinacija, stoga svaka grijalica koja ide u kupaonicu mora biti pravilno vodonepropusna i vodootporna, kako biste izbjegli strujni udar i oštećenje jedinice. Ako ste u nedoumici, isključite grijač na zidu prije nego što pustite vodu.

Različite vrste kupaonskih grijača

Kupaonske grijalice dijelimo na ugradne i prijenosne grijalice. Ugrađena grijalica zahtijeva dolazak tehničara u vašu kuću i postavljanje uređaja za vas, dok se prijenosna grijalica može premještati iz sobe u sobu. Svaka vrsta grijača ima svoje prednosti i nedostatke, a one su navedene za vas u nastavku, zajedno s kratkim opisom onoga što svaka vrsta može učiniti. Prijenosne, zidne i stropne grijalice objašnjavaju gdje su grijalice instalirane, dok infracrvene, konvekcijske i ventilatorske grijalice objašnjavaju vrstu topline koju te tehnologije proizvode. Valja napomenuti da uljne i keramičke grijalice nisu spomenute jer općenito nisu prikladne za korištenje u kupaonicama.

Različite vrste kupaonskih grijača uključuju:

• Prijenosni grijači
• Wall-mounted heaters
• Ceiling-installed heaters
• Infrared heaters
• Convection heaters
• Panel heaters
• Fan-forced heaters

Portable heaters

A portable heater refers to any heating unit that can be moved to different rooms around your house. They have an average power output above 1000W, and are small enough to move around by hand, which makes them highly convenient. They usually have a few different heat settings, a timer and a temperature display and can be operated by a control panel, or via remote control. You can pick up a portable heater from a hardware store, a department store, or even a supermarket.

Pros	Cons
Can be moved to anywhere in the house	Can be dangerous if it’s placed too close to fabrics or objects that block ventilation
Save on heating costs by only heating one space at a time	Can be expensive to run if it’s left to run for a long time or to heat a large space
A budget-friendly option if you only need, or use the heater occasionally	Some portable heaters may not be bathroom specific, and if they aren’t, you cannot use them in the bathroom. A bathroom heater must be waterproofed to be able to withstand not only the inevitable droplets but the moisture build that occurs in the bathroom
Cheap and easy to buy	Portable heaters are not as powerful as other types of heaters, so won’t be effective in every climate or space
No installation required	Have a shorter lifespan

Wall-mounted heaters

Wall-mounted heaters are heating units that are attached to the wall, usually via a mount, but they can also be installed into the wall with a vent. They are useful for heating smaller spaces like bathrooms, bedrooms and studios, as they save space by being off the floor, heat up quickly and generate enough warmth to easily keep a smaller room toasty.

You can purchase electric wall heaters, which are the mounted kind, or have a gas wall heater installed. An electric wall heater is usually cheaper, requires less installation, and is suitable for smaller rooms. A gas wall heater is usually more expensive, requires a more involved installation process but is better at heating larger spaces.

Pros	Cons
Save floor space	Not suitable for large spaces
Can be safely left unattended	Require installation
Cheaper running costs	Not ducted, which increases the time it takes to heat a room
Warm up quickly	Can be an aesthetic disruption to a space

Ceiling-installed heaters

Ceiling heaters are, as the name suggests, heaters that are installed onto your ceiling. They can be nestled within the roof, or be suspended from it, and are operated via a switch on the wall or a pull cord. Ceiling heaters are a popular choice for bathrooms, as they usually come with lights and often extraction fans built into the same panel. They save space by combining these features, and their location is unintrusive to a space. Most ceiling heaters operate above 2000W and are good at heating larger spaces, including those with openings.

Pros	Cons
Reduce clutter	Require installation
Able to heat large spaces	May not suit every space
Often come with additional features such as lights and extraction fans	Fans can be noisy
Some come with reverse systems, allowing you to also cool a room in summer	Cost more to buy upfront

Infrared heaters

Infrared heaters work by emitting heat rays that are then absorbed by other objects, similar to the sun. The cumulative heat of the heater and objects gradually increases the temperature in the room. This makes them an energy-efficient alternative to other types of heating. Many bathroom heaters work via infrared heating technology, as they heat up quickly, give off a warm glow and stop heating a space when off – everything you want when you’re dashing in and out of the shower. Most infrared heaters operate at 1500W, and can heat large and smaller spaces.

Pros	Cons
Energy efficient	Some can get quite hot, making them dangerous to touch
Provide an ambient atmosphere	Emit a red glow that may not suit every space
Heat up quickly	Only produce heat when they are on and don’t provide residual heat
Quiet &no pollutants	Not suitable around pets &children

Convection heaters

Convection heaters warm up a room by drawing cool air in at the bottom, and producing warm air at the top, via a heated element. This makes them a good choice for rooms that can be closed off to avoid the heat escaping through windows, doors and floor gaps. This also makes them great at heating up smaller rooms in the house, like bathrooms. Panel heaters are usually pretty cheap to pick up, but they are not the most energy-efficient heater, which can make them more expensive to run. Panel heaters generally operate above 2000W.

Pros	Cons
Cheap to buy	Take up floor space
Warm-up a room nicely	Not the most energy-efficient
Cost effective if you use them for a long time	Take a while to heat up
Great for small rooms	Expensive to run compared to their heat output

Fan forced heaters

Fan forced heaters warm up a room by heating an element inside the unit and using a fan to blow the hot air across the element and out through a vent. They can be quite small and compact, and are good at warming up small spaces quickly, making them a popular choice as a cheap bathroom heater. They can be sold on their own, or as an additional unit with lighting.

Pros	Cons
Compact	The fan(s) can be noisy
Heat up a space quickly	Unable to emit the temperature of other heaters
Cheap to buy	Not suitable for large areas

Benefits of a bathroom heater

If you’re still on the fence as to whether a heater is worth the investment, consider some of the additional benefits of a toasty bathroom.

Benefits of a bathroom heater include:

• Doubles as a dehumidifier
• Reduces steam – allowing you to use the mirror straight after a shower or, allowing someone else to use it while you’re soaping up in the steam – the holy grail of bathroom sharing.
• Reduces the moisture in the air, which in turn prevents mould build-up on the bathroom fixtures, on the ceiling and walls.
• Saves water and time – there’s no need to prolong jumping out of a hot shower if your bathroom is just as warm as the water.

How much do bathroom heaters cost?

Heaters sit on the more affordable end of bathroom accessories. They can range from $50 for a small wall-mount unit, right up to $900 for an installed unit with additional features. The price of your heater will fluctuate depending on whether it needs to be installed, how big it is and how much heat it can emit. Interestingly enough, a bigger price tag does not always equate to a better unit. In fact, you are better off considering exactly how and where you’re going to use your heater, and find a unit to match those needs, rather than going off the price.

What type of heater is cheapest to run?

In general, infrared heaters are the cheapest heaters to run because they use 100% of the heat they produce. Infrared heaters function by adding heat to objects, not the air. This means the heat is more easily retained, and can be more effectively generated to create a warmer environment.

The cost of running a heater depends on a variety of factors including:

• How and when you use your heater
• The size of the room you are heating
• How well insulated your space is
• How much you pay for connection to gas and electricity

What to look for in a bathroom heater

Heat is heat, right? When you’re freezing, grabbing any old heater can seem mighty tempting, but taking the time to choose the right unit can save you time, money, and cold toes in the long run. Listed below are some of the most important things to look for when buying a bathroom heater.

• Waterproofing: Bathrooms are naturally humid places. Between the shower, the bath, the sink and the toilet, there’s enough water running through the place to warrant a lifejacket or two. When it comes to water and electrics, it’s a dangerous combo, so if you don’t want to battle a fire after your bubble bath, you need to look for a heater with a good safety rating.
• Wattage: Every heater comes with a wattage reading. Before you jump to the highest one, consider your heating needs – a small room may require a lower heating capacity or you may live somewhere that only needs minimal heating at certain times throughout the year, or maybe you just want something to heat up fast. Choosing the right wattage will save you money in the long run.
• Size: Choose a heater size that fits the room, but bear in mind that some types of heaters throw out more heat than others, regardless of the size. It’s more important to match the size of the room to heat output when selecting a unit.
• Heating times: Don’t leave yourself out in the cold – look at how long a heater takes to warm up. If it’s too long, it probably isn’t worth putting in the bathroom, where you won’t spend hours of your time.
• Controls: Controls allow you to get the most out of your unit. Here are some common ones to look out for.
  • A thermostat cuts down on power costs and gives you temperature control
  • A remote allows you to use the heater from anywhere in the room or even house
  • Multiple switches independently control fans, heat, and lights
  • Safety features such as automatic switch-off, tip-off sensors, drip protection, and waterproofing
  • A timer will set heating times, or even preheat a room before you enter it

Are bathroom heaters worth it?

A bathroom heater is (quite literally) a small price to pay for a greatly improved bathroom experience. For less than $60 you can transform your bathroom into a toasty oasis, and ban those winter chills for good.

Key things to remember before purchasing a heater

• The size of the room you are heating
