Bathroom Electric Heaters

What are bathroom electric heaters?

Most appliances don’t come with high protection ratings against water, which is why bathroom electric heaters are a must if you’re planning on installing electric heating in these spaces. Bathroom electric heaters come with splashproof IP ratings so you can install them with confidence, knowing they will be able to cope with any splashes or drips that might land their way. Electric heaters for bathroom use must always be installed by a professional electrician to ensure that they meet national safety standards.

Can you put electric heaters in bathrooms?

Electric heaters can be installed in bathrooms provided they are hardwired by a professional electrician and have an IP rating suitable for their intended location. Many standard electric heaters cannot be installed in bathrooms for various reasons. They may have IP ratings that are too low, offering no protection against water, or they may have ventilation that needs to be kept free of obstructions – a problem if you tend to use your bathroom heating to dry towels. All of the bathroom heaters in our range have IP ratings suitable for use in zones 2 and 3 so you can position them however best suits your space. When selecting a product always make sure to adhere to the manufacturer’s guidelines concerning bathroom use as they may have additional requirements you need to follow when installing.

What IP rating do I need for a bathroom electric heater?

An IP rating is given to an electrical appliance to show how protected it is against the ingress of solid particles and water. They’re made of two digits preceded by the letters IP – e.g. IP65 – with the first digit indicating protection against solids and the second digit indicating protection against liquids. Bathroom electric heaters will need an IP rating that ends in at least ‘4’ which indicates it has protection against splashing water. However, if your heater will be installed in a location that may be hosed down to clean, it’s advisable to look for a product that has a protection rating of ‘5’ for liquids which means it can withstand low pressure jets of water. If you’re unsure what IP rating your product needs, it’s always worth discussing your project with a professional electrician who can provide advice and guidance.
