The decision between fan heaters and heat lamps for the heating of a bathroom can have a significant impact on comfort levels as well as energy efficiency.

Heat lamps provide immediate, concentrated heat by radiating heat straight onto people and objects. Heat lamps warm up quickly, and they are best suited to chilly mornings when speedy comfort is needed. Moreover, most heat lamps combine lighting and heating features, thus saving space and energy. However, their main purpose is to warm up targeted areas and not a room, and thus it is highly important to position them strategically for maximum efficiency.

By contrast, fan heaters circulate hot air throughout the bathroom, which leads to even thermal distribution throughout the room. Exhaust fans, which are standard on most models, also lower humidity levels and prevent mold growth—a common bathroom problem. The units are good at maintaining overall warmth as well as overall air quality; they are, however, slower to warm a room to desired levels than heat lamps.
