Fan heater in bathroom?

[rocker]

It seems a recipe for disaster to me, but a customer wants a quote for a fixed fan heater in a bathroom. Can you get IP fan heaters and are they any good. Can anyone fill me in with what I can do here.

 

[aptsys]

Presumably, they want something like this: Dimplex FX20V - 2kW Wall Mounted Fan Heater

No problem with with that, just fit an FCU next to it.

Agree with aptsys.

Be careful of fan heater that aptsys has recommended no problems with it as such but if it is likely to be subject to splashing it has got to be IPX4 and if subject to jets of water IPX5 the heater is only IPX22 and will need to be outside the zones.

I was looking for a number 4 as from what theyve described their bathroom aint that big and probably wont be anywhere outside of zones... I'll have to have a look at it

If you can't find one, there are always tube heaters or an electric towel rail that can be used.

Going through the same problems for a customer at the moment tube heaters dont seem to have enough power so if anyone comes up with a good answer it would be brilliant.

Several types of bathroom heaters are available on the market today for any type of bathroom and preference. Heaters are an essential part of a household, especially in a cold country. They tend to be a lot cheaper than a central heating system.
