20 Best Heat Lamp For Bathroom (2023 Updated)

This item was priced right and was delivered very quickly. It arrived in the original box with all parts and directions. I installed it the same day in a new bathroom. It was quick, easy and attractive.

All we needed to do was buy the bulb. We are very satisfied with this product and it carries the well known name of Nutone. I would reccomend this to anyone.

This fixture should only be used in a very, very small room. I installed it in my kids little bathroom and it did not make much difference. I went with the dual light model that has the little fan to push the heat down.

If you are going to install one just put in the dual bulb model and dont waste time with this single version.

great product heats bathroom fine

I love the overhead heat lamps and have used them for years in many of my different bathrooms. This one is no exception and better quality than most. My contractor hooked right up to my old ceiling fan, pay attention to your ceiling joists.

Nice high end look. If you are not going to be tearing up your bath floor anytime soon to put in floor heating this is a heart warming alternative that puts out nice radiant heat when you hop out of the shower or bath.

Works well! One bulb came broken. Chatted online with Lowes. They sent me another one right away. Got two negative comments : The electric box is very very small considering you have to bring in 3 electric wires.

Secondly, the instructions are not written for retrofit. It does not mention if the frame goes under or above the drywall. I first installed it above the drywall since it seemed to make more sens then discovered I could not scew the bulbs after the cover is on.

So be careful, frame goes under drywall.

The Aero Pure fanlight so far is performing great. I would give it 5 stars, but the provided switched didn’t even last 24 hours. We purchased two Aero Pure fanlight combo and had them installed by licensed electrician.

The switches provided in the box are very flimsy. Either the heat lamp wold not turn off or you barely touched the switch and the fan would turn on. If you’re planing on purchasing this, invest in a separate switch and save yourself some time.

Since the new switches have been placed everything is performing great. A note to Aero Pure – please have someone else make your switches. The switched provided makes your product look bad.

I bought and installed this fan about three months ago and am really happy with my purchase. Pros: design – unlike the “boring” bath fans you usually find and easy to clean, price – very reasonable for the feature set, features – like the adjustable fan speeds, fan – powerful and removes moisture and odor very quickly.

This fan/Heater and Light is awesome! Not only is it multifunctional it is quiet!!! Nice addition and boy does it warm up the space in my bathroom which is unheated!

I would not use this in a small bathroom because it puts out a lot of heat. However, it is great for my large master bathroom. I liked it so much, I ordered a second one for a new construction project.

However, one of the bulbs arrived broken. Wayfair made it very easy to return. Very happy with the light and with Wayfair!.

I had an old NuTone in a small bathroom, possibly from 70-80’s, that was starting to go bad, from a grinding fan to busted weld-joints. I wanted something that would match this thing’s blueprint as close as possible and didn’t require an exhaust vent.

Anyways, came across this and the cylinder-housing is an exact match to what I had, while the heater is a much better design from my original stove coil with a massive propeller blowing the heat. After install, which went smoother than I thought it would, I find that this model does not get as hot as the old one, which is a good thing.

It’s also much more effective at circulating and removing the humid air in my bathroom than the older model, and this is without using the exhaust. While the unit is loud, it’s nowhere near as loud as my older units.

While I would recommend this model to someone who needs to circulate humid air without the option for an exhaust, be prepared for some serious work if this is a new install in a finished room, as opposed to a replacement.

I used the inner workings of the unit to replace an existing heater/fan/light. The original fan combo was over 40 years old, but the model and the parts were the same. It allowed me to repair an old ceiling unit without tearing out the old housing and sheet rock.

The fan parts fit perfectly, and everything worked as they were supposed to. It’s amazing that Nutone still manufactures this unit. I would recommend this product to other contractors. I just wish that the big box stores would carry this line of heater/fan/light combo, it still is a great design!.

I had two of these Nutone 9093 Heater/Fan/Light/Nightlight units installed back in 1995. They both have been used often and they have proven themselves to be reliable. My 1995 units both have two flaws in my opinion.

The wall switches that came with the Nutone 9093 units failed and needed to be replaced after 15 years. The other flaw is that the thermo limiter sensor has burned out on both units after about 20 years of service.

Fortunately the replacement parts were readily available, and the units are very easy to remove (4 screws) and repair. I have been impressed with the motors and heating elements. I had expected them to burn up long ago, but they still work like brand new.

One installation note: These units did require their own dedicated 15 amp circuit. So unless you are able to run a new dedicated line to your ceiling these 9093 units might not be ideal as a replacement for say an existing exhaust fan unit.

I replaced my light bulbs with LED bulbs so the cover should not have to come off again for many more years.

Great bulbs and energy efficient! My uncle actually recommended these and we never changed since. They are more expensive but they last a long time and they save you money on your electric bill! I would recommend these!.

These lamps take a minute but they get very very very bright. They don’t get too hot they’re just a bit bulky so I wish their size was smaller. They last years without having to be replaced. I would recommend these and repurchase them.

This is so beautiful it is very nice it is product is very niceThis is so beautiful it is very nice it is product is very niceThis is so beautiful it is very nice it is product is very niceThis is so beautiful it is very nice it is product is very nice.

I have used this heat/fan/light unit since 1984. The first one was installed in a home that I eventually sold in 1986. The second one I owned was installed in 1986. That lasted 34 years. I maintained it regularly and replaced a couple of parts over the years (fan, heat element, thermal element).

So far, the unit has held up (as I would expect). It is perfect to help take the edge off those cool spring, fall and winter mornings. Plus, I have not had any mold or mildew issues. That was a result of good mildew resistant paint and proper ventilation with this fan unit.

Fairly easy install because was an exact match to what was there. One being replaced was 20 years old. Great suction for exhaust and nice warm heat also. New switch that identifies what to turn on. Supply house price was less than I could find locally.

Delivery was quick.

I have little technical/electrical skills but I replaced our bathroom unit from the 1960’s with this unit 11 years ago and it is still working perfectly. It is not a luxury item with a noiseless fan–it puts out some noise–but it heats my 8 x 10 bathroom, where caretakers bathe my 95 year old mom every day, very well.

If you use a 100 watt equivalent low energy bulb, you will light your entire bathroom. The nightlight feature is something I haven’t ever used for lack of a small bulb.

Its not a heater just a lamp holder so dont expect to be all warm & fuzzy if youre not standing directly under it in a room with no more than an 8-foot ceiling. The bulb you place in it is the heat generator so buy a quality heat lamp because all are not equal.

I have installed many types of ceiling fixtures in the past 50-years and knew what I was getting with this one but for those who may not know its designed for an open ceiling before sheetrock is installed called rough-in housing when beams are exposed.

If you dont have access to your ceiling from above like an attic installing it with the enclosed brackets is impossible. There is a small lip on it so if you cut a perfect hole it will lay on the drywall or if you can get it next to a joist you can screw it in after adding a few holes.

I was hoping it would be like a recessed lighting can for a finished ceiling so you can cut a hole, slip it in and then pop some spring retainers in place to hold it but this doesnt have that option.

I only paid 13-bucks for it and knew what I was getting so it works for me. Ive had this in other homes and highly recommend you place it where youll be standing if you want to feel any heat from it since heat lamps have a focused beam being a little away from it means you wont get the maximum effect.

I took off a star because it should have been noted thats its not designed for installation in a finished ceiling without access from above. Before you consider installing something like this please note that this one is a “non-IC (Insulation Contact) unit” which means you can’t have insulation over it.

If the space above it has insulation (like an attic) then you have to have 3-inches of open space all around it and nothing over it. If that attic isn’t heated then you’ll just have a flow of cold air falling down into the room and the heater will likely have no effect other than being a total waste of money.

If you want insulation over it then it must be rated IC for Insulation Contact.

Broan makes great stuff, but the description by Zoro is incorrect. It’s listed as a fan, but in fact it’s only a light. Zoro, to their credit, returned it without question and without cost, but they’ve yet to correct the description.

If you’re looking for this single light with a fan, you need Broan part number 162.

Had a hard time finding a heat light to install in my bathroom. Not only did this solve that problem, but the timer that comes with this light is silent, which was exactly what I wanted. Other light systems might need a metal box in the attic surrounding the heat light fixture, but I suspect this may not need that.

I had one already so will use it to be safe. The installation took very little time. Works great, and being a 250w bulb it warms things up faster than a 175w.

Heat output is slightly underwhelming. It is much better than having nothing at all. Maybe our medium sized bathroom is simply too large for it to heat efficiently. I’m sure in a small bathroom it would be awesome.

The lighting is disappointing as it causes much more shadowing in the bathroom compared to the old light we had before. I will have to install a can light above the shower so it isn’t so dreary. Installation required me to run a new 14-2 wire and add a circuit to the breaker box.

This would be easy in a new build, but our home was already finished so it took a bit of work to accomplish this. I also used a timer instead of a traditional switch to control the heat for safety’s sake.

My master bath already had a vent/light unit which was mounted right over the shower. I wanted to change it over to a vent/heat/light unit but after researching, you are not supposed to put a heat unit directly in the shower area.

This Broan unit was the only heat unit I could find that didn’t also come with a vent. Was perfect for what I needed. Installation was a breeze. The only improvement would have been if they would have included a template for cutting the hole in the ceiling.

In operation, it heats up quickly and puts out nice heat that will quickly warm a small-to-medium sized bathroom. I would say it’s on the louder end of the scale as far as fan noise goes, but it’s not an annoying fan noise.

The unit looks good. Prior to this unit, I just used a small plug-in space heater that sat on the floor. Other than being an eye-sore, that little heater worked great and since it was putting the heat out at floor level, I think the heat felt more “even” in the room.

With the ceiling heater, the air right at floor level doesn’t get as warm. I’ll be tiling this bathroom in the next year and will probably put floor heat in. If you can’t tell. I like a warm bathroom in the morning during the winter!.

This was easy for my husband to install himself. And I love the warmth it provides while Im showering. Especially during winter. Only wish he would have done it sooner.

This fan looks like a great addition to a bathroom, but the quality was found to be lacking. We ordered 2, both of the center bulbs and one heat lamp didn’t work when we received them. Then 2 switches, one out of each unit, had to be replaced.

It was an absolute nightmare to wire and the instructions were vague at best. They’re both working now and put off a lot of heat. I haven’t used the fan yet but it does run. If I could do it over again, I would purchase something different.

I didn’t receive anything for this review, just trying to be helpful to future purchasers.

We were in need of two bathroom exhaust fans and we were not happy with the choices available at the big box stores. In both our bathrooms, we already had heat lamps -which were installed prior to purchasing the house 20 years ago.

We loved the heat lamps and these fans utilized the lamps we already had, hid the fans and are quiet and effective. Pricing was awesome. We were able to install both fans plus the ventilation kit for the attic for the price of one fan at a big box store.

We had some questions and called in after placing the online order and the guy that assisted us was great. He could see what was in stock at the manufacturer’s warehouse and helped us get what we needed as stock was low.

Overall, this was a great experience. Purchase was smooth – we highly recommend venting direct and the vent fan with heat lamps!.

This is a great little fan/heat light combo. Delivery was a little slow (took a little over a week) — maybe A. zon and others spoil me 🙂 but it was delivered as promised. Shipped in original box, but that was more than sufficient to protect the unit.

Fairly easy installation in my remodel project. The fan noise is as advertised — not silent, but not at all objectionable. Just a pleasant whosh sound rather than the sound of the really cheap fans that grate on your nerves.

For me, the price was good, delivery was reasonable and the fan is excellent. Definitely love the infrared bulb on cool winter mornings — just takes the chill off as you dry.

Build. com had the best price by far on this bath fan. I bought this particular heater because it’s the current incarnation of the one I installed when I first built my house. It had the virtue of fitting in the same size hole as the old one.

That being said, this is a nice little bath fan/heater. The fan is enough to clear out shower steam pretty quickly. But my favorite thing is the heat lamp. There’s no heating element, just a heat lamp bulb.

But that lamp is like standing in bright sun. It takes away the after-shower chill and helps you “sun dry”. Love it!.

These Heat Lamp bulbs are by far the best I have had in a long time. I had my concerns about cheaply made bulbs of which I have had some which blew out so quickly that I wondered why I bothered. Thus far this bulb not only is lasting but flat puts out the heat required to keep the flock of chicks comfortable.

I had to raise the heat lamp to 4 feet above the brooder! I am always pleased when a product exceeds my expectations! This is my personal experience with this product. I hope TSC continues these bulbs.

The delivery of the bulbs I ordered was personal in that a delivery driver was sent from Paducah to my home near Murray, KY. The driver was in direct communication with me from start to finish. This personal touch was amazing & says a lot about the company.

We use these in our winter low tunnels when temperatures forecast to drop below 26F at night. Enables all of our Asian greens and herbs to thrive those few weeks of extreme cold in Texas. Installed with remote control for easy on/off.

This is the second year this has happened to me. I bought a brand new heat lamp and this bulb from Farm and Fleet. After only 3 days the bulb went out overnight allowing my chicks to get chilled. once could be a fluke, but two years in a row.

this bulb has serious quality issues. I have lost over $100 in poultry because of this faulty bulb.

I bought several of these bulbs and they are great! However, one of the bulbs goes into the socket off-center. Upon closer examination the metal threads of the bulb weren’t properly centered when they glued it on the glass part.

With a heat lamp I’m concerned that this could cause a problem with the halo rim. I called the company and spoke with a lady whose job it must be to do everything she can to prevent returns. She said 1)the return would cost more than the bulb 2) before she would approve the return I’d have to send a photo to prove there was a defect, implying that I’d lie about such a thing and 3) it was simply clear that she neither believed me nor wanted to assist.

I was shocked. Every other interaction I’ve had with your company has been helpful and straightforward. I was on the verge of discontinuing purchasing anything more from the company but, understand that any group can have its problem people.

So, I’m hanging in there hoping things will get better. The four stars are because of the one defective bulb which I’ll have to replace. Joy.

I ordered the wrong light bulbs needed for the showroom of our business. Totally my fault and the customer service representatives were wonderful to work with to get this taken care of! I appreciate all the help and kindness while working with 1000bulbs!.

These bulbs are extremely durable. We use these bulbs for keeping sump pump crocks from freezing. These pumps are 25 feet under ground and the bulbs are subjected to cold water dripping on them almost continuously.

These bulbs are, the best value going.

Worked great for the chicks. Not too hot like the 250w. TSC had fast curbside delivery as well. Great price too.

This lamp worked exactly like it is supposed to for six months. The last heat lamp I purchased for the bathroom was a GE bulb and it lasted 7 years. I thought I’d try something from Rona.

cost nearly The hardware store versions don’t last long, aren’t shatterproof, and twice the price.100Bulbs makes my correct lighting easy and affordable!.

I bought these bulbs for a heat lamp and they work great. One of them had to be replaced within the first 2 weeks and customer service handled the problem Professionally and Quickly.

works but not great. bathroom stayed very steamy while showering although it was better than with no fan running. the fan I removed was an old Broan 162 and it had a noticeably larger squirrel cage fan, probably why it worked so much better.

Gave 4 stars because it works ok but not great and the price was only $40, so i guess you get what you pay for. still better than nothing though and if on a budget its worth buying for sure.

The fan is very quiet and has good air flow. I am using GU24 bi-pin LED 4000k bulbs. They produce a bright daylight white color temperature.

While this is not a super quiet model, I do like the combination of heat lamp and fan. I replaced a 30-year-old identical model with this purchase. Works beautifully

This multifunction bath vent is the best thing since sliced bread! For various reasons, we had to scrap our plans for both radiant floor heating and a heated towel rack. This vent came to the rescue with every feature we could want: light, nightlight, vent fan, and yes, that coveted heater! Our electrician gave each feature its own wall switch for the utmost flexibility.

We love all the options, but I’m most pleased with the heater. I no longer dread stepping out of the shower on a cold morning.

I’M GIVING THIS PRODUCT A “ONE-STAR” RATING ONLY BECAUSE I CAN’T GIVE IT A “NO-STAR” RATING. I couldn’t be more disappointed in this Panasonic exhaust/heat unit. I am constantly renovating baths for clients and decided to give this product a try in one of my own baths.

While it does produce weak heat, the exhaust function is non-existent. A shower in that bathroom results in a wet room for at least 15 minutes following. I became suspicious when the contractor installing the unit pointed out that the flange to attach the duct was sized for only a 4″ duct, not 6″ as quoted in the description and specs, and there was no way to remove or adapt the flange to accomodate a 6″ line.

It’s been downhill from there, with a fan unit so anemic, you can’t feel it pulling. I will be removing it and replacing it with my standard specified extractor fan – an AirKing product. While that brand won’t include the heating component, at least it will remove the moisture.

Don’t even consider buying this, it’s a waste of money.

make sure that the frame is square and level before making the electrical connections. This fan was larger than the fan I was replacing so I had to enlarge the opening and add a 2×4 frame to hold the mounting.

The electrical wiring was tight so I had to add two junction boxes. I wired as much of the wiring on my work bench to make working off of my ladder easier. It took me about 8 hours to get it right. The fan is quite and has plenty of heat.

Once installed this works really well. I did not take into account the physical size, height, for what goes above the ceiling. My half my bathroom ceiling is right against the roof, slanted, with half flat to a small attic.

Due to the height this is mounted very off-center in the bathroom. I like it, just pay attention to the above ceiling height requirements.

Same old noisy lousy poor life span plain bearing tiny induction motor as found in most all cheap American fans and hoods and all. Put in a quality quiet ball bearing motor in it and I’ll pay the additional cost and provide a 5 start review.

The unit has a high temp cutout. The cutout (thermistor) failed in about 20 minutes. I’ve paid an electrician to remove it and will pay again for him to replace it. Works ok with thermistor jumpered.
