Bathroom Wall Heaters – Buyers Guide

When shopping for an electric bathroom wall heater for a new construction job (not replacing an old heater) there are several things to consider:

1. Heater sizing (how big is the bathroom you want to heat)

How Much Heat Do I Need?

When heating a bathroom, I like to oversize the heater more then I would any other room because you want to get the room up to 75-80 + degrees and you want to do it at a fairly quick rate.

The standard sizing rule of thumb is:

10 watts per sq. ft. Example: if your room is 10 x 10 multiply 10′x 10′= 100 Sq Ft) 100 sq ft. X 10 watts = 1000 Watts. With a bathroom heater I like to substitute 10 watts Per Sq Ft with 12-15 watts per sq ft and in colder environments I use the 15

2. Voltage

Knowing and getting your correct voltage is right up there as one of the most important things to know and understand before you purchase and electric wall heater. Electric bathroom wall heaters come in 120 and 240 volts. Some electric wall heaters only come in 120 volts, and some only come in 240

Most homes in the United States have both 120v and 240v in their house. If you have an electric stove, range, dryer or water heater in your home those are all running on 240 voltage.

A standard 120 volt wall heater comes in 500 to 1,500 watts which can heat a room 50 to 150 sq. ft. If you have a room bigger than 150 sq. ft. you will need a 240 volt heater.

A standard 240 volt wall heater comes in 1000 to 4,800 watts which can heat a room from 100 to 480 sq ft.

A common over site is buying and or installing a wall heater with the wrong voltage. If you install a heater to the wrong voltage bad things can happen.

120v circuit to a 240v heater will give you ¼ of the wattage

240v circuit to a 120v heater will burnout the heater and voids the warranty

If you are not sure on your voltage you will want to consult a licensed electrician. We stock almost every heater you see on line and ship the same day if in stock so we can get it to you pretty fast

( FYI Notes )

110 volts, 115 volts, 120 volts, 125 volts

(All four voltages will work with the same heater)

220 volts, 230 volts, 240 volts, 250 volts

(All four voltages will work with the same heater)

208 volts is NOT the same as 240 volts – it’s a total different

3. Noise level

• All fan forced wall heaters will make noise. We tell customers that when browsing our website the more expensive the wall heaters the quieter it’s going to be (this rule does not apply to our commercial grade wall heaters with a CFM greater then 100) because the internal parts are of a higher quality. If noise is not an issue to you any heater within the correct wattage and voltage you parameters will work.

4. Looks of the grille

• White this one is subjective; the looks of the heater is an important part of the buying process. Every heater we have except the Broan WH9815 is made with a metal grille with a powder coated painted finish. If you have question on the color of a certain heater feel free to call us

5. Thermostat

Controlling a wall heater can be done with a built-in or wall thermostat. Certain models have the option of one or the other, while some just have a single option for just built in or just wall mounted only. If you are not sure call or email us.

The built-in thermostat is the knob mounted on the outside of the heater. It works just like a wall mounted heater: by turning it clockwise you turn the power on and you set the desired room temperature. Turn it counterclockwise you will lower the desired temperature wanted and if you turn it all the way to the left it will turn the unit off.

Wall thermostats are not available on all wall heaters, for those that do offer them this is how they work. A wall mounted thermostat is usually mounted on the other side of the room. A 120v or 240 volt power line is pulled behind the sheetrock to the wall heater. To set the temperature of the heater, once again, turn the knob clockwise to your desired room temperature.

When using a wall thermostat be sure to place it on an internal wall, ideally across from the windows. Avoid drafty areas, direct sunlight, and other heaters & electronics devices that can put out heat like computers or TV’s. Make sure you don’t place it behind a shelf or too close to pictures what will affect airflow around the thermostat’s sensors.

6. Bathroom wall heater locations

• Find a spot on an interior wall close to the outside wall. Make sure you avoid any obstructions like a chair or couch, or hanging items like drapes. By using a nearby wall you can avoid cutting into your wall insulation. The idea is to heat your cold wall first and the rest of the room will fall in line.

FYI Notes:

The factories recommend the heater should be mounted at least 8” from the floor, 8” from an adjacent wall, and if you are mounting it higher it has to be at least 8” from the ceiling, 3 feet from furniture. If you have a question on mounting location(s) please consult your local town or city code inspector for the final answer

7. Recessed vs. Surface mounting

• Recessed mounting simply means you cut a hole in the sheet rock wall.
• Surface mounting is on a brick or block wall; your heater will mount on the wall instead of inside the wall.

8. Feature to look for or avoid.

• Back box include – Look for it - All heaters must have back boxes but some times you can order them separately. The back box separates the heating element from touching the interior wall or insulation. It’s a code violation to not use a back box.
• Thermostat operation ranges – Look for it – Some people want to run the heater at the lowest temperature to keep the water pipes from freezing. If the operating range of 50° to 90° F, the heater will not go down to 40° F no mater how low you set it the thermostat.
• Summer Fan Switch – Avoid – This is used for commercial building applications, all it means it that the fan will run but the heater will remain off.
• Heavy Duty Grille – Avoid – Another commercial building application, the greater the foot traffic the higher the odds of someone smashing in the front grille of your wall heater. Unless you have a hotel dolly rolling around your home you more than likely don’t need the added cost of a heavy duty front grille.
