Anyone know of a decent bathroom heater. I have tried those useless Dimplex 2kw downheaters which give out no heat. Anything more powerful out there. It's for an elderly man. Thanks

The panel heaters from dimplex do a good job.

The are also IPX4 rated

I was thinking of the downflow type but Dimplex seem to be the only manufacturers and there doesn't seem to be anything above 2kw. Thanks anyway.

Is it a particularly large bathroom, or a badly insulated home? I've installed a lot of the Dimplex fan heaters and they seem to do the job.

How much heat do you need? http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Ma...Triton_LBD/index.html

Well as Dimplex are saying over and over again at the moment, electric heaters are all 100% efficient, 2kW in 2kW out.

Heat dispersion is a different thing though, so the perceived comfort level may be different in different parts of the room. As already said if the bathroom is large it may need more power or for the heater to be on longer prior to use. Also make sure you have the Dimplex heater set to 2kW, they have a switch inside that can set to either 2kW or 1kW.

Its a very badly insulated victorian house.

How about an electric underfloor mat? The kit is quite inexpensive now and the cost of laying tiles may well be offset by the savings in power required to make the rooom comfortable for him.

In which case, assuming the bathroom is on the 1st floor, it may be worth putting some proper insulation over the bathroom. Horrible job I know, but conserving the heat rather than blasting out more might be the answer here.
