Does a Remote-Controlled Bathroom Heater Still Need a Switch?

There are many types of bathroom heaters on the market today, and remote-controlled bathroom heaters are commonly used in households. Do remote-controlled bathroom heaters still need a switch? How should they be installed? Let’s take a look.

Do remote-controlled bathroom heaters still need a switch?

Yes, a switch is still necessary. Firstly, having two operation methods is more reliable. Secondly, installing a switch allows for cutting off the power supply to the heater, which is beneficial for subsequent maintenance. Additionally, if a switch location is not reserved now, it will be more troublesome to add one in the future.

How to install a remote-controlled bathroom heater?

1. Wire Preparation

Generally, for a lamp heating type bathroom heater, four sets of wires are needed: two for heating lamps, one for ventilation, and one for lighting. For a wind heating type bathroom heater, five sets of wires are needed: one for lighting, one for ventilation, two for PTC heating plates, and one for the internal circulation negative ion blower.

2. Ventilation Outlet

The exhaust fan requires one air outlet to expel air from the room. The diameter of the outlet is generally 10 centimeters, and it should be opened before the ceiling is installed.

3. Reserved Installation Opening

Typically, the installation opening for the bathroom heater is 300×300 mm, and some bath heaters may have an opening size of 300×400 mm. Depending on different types of ceiling panels, the requirements and methods for reserving the installation opening may vary

1. For aluminum ceiling panels of size 300×300 or 300×600, it is fine to leave one piece of 300×300 panel uninstalled.

2. For strip-shaped aluminum panels, the size of the bathroom heater's opening should be determined during the installation of the ceiling panels. The installation opening should be prepared during the panel installation, and two sturdy wooden strips exceeding the span of the ceiling's main beams should be installed to support the heater.

3. For plastic steel ceiling panels, the method is practically the same as the one above.

4. For waterproof gypsum boards and sauna boards, since the location of the beams needs to be determined, the size of the opening for the bathroom heater should also be reserved during the ceiling panel installation.
