Do You Need to Install an Exhaust Duct for Your Bathroom Heater?

When installing a bathroom heater, if there is no pre-reserved ventilation outlet in the bathroom to install the exhaust duct, is it necessary to connect the exhaust duct to the heater? Let’s briefly introduce this topic.

Is it necessary for the bathroom heater to connect to an exhaust duct?

For bathroom heaters with exhaust and ventilation functions, it is necessary to connect an exhaust duct; otherwise, the exhaust and ventilation functions of the heater cannot be used. Before installing the heater, it is important to connect the exhaust duct to the ventilation outlet in the bathroom. If there is no ventilation outlet in the bathroom, you can drill a hole in the bathroom window or the outer wall to serve as a ventilation outlet.

What should be noted when using a bathroom heater?

1. When using a lamp warm type bathroom heater, do not look directly at the heater's bulb, as the strong light emitted by the heater can negatively impact your vision. While using a lamp warm type heater in the bathroom, the bathing time should not be too long, as it may lead to dizziness or other issues. For a warm wind type heater, as the warming speed is slower, you should turn on the heating function of the heater before bathing; the bathroom will be warmer during your shower.

2. Regardless of which type of appliance we use, we should not use it for extended periods continuously, as this will affect the product's lifespan. Similarly, the bathroom heater should not be used for too long; the continuous usage time should preferably not exceed 5 hours. If long-term use of the heater is necessary, it’s advisable to turn it off for a while after it has been working for a period.

3. Do not touch the heater's bulb while it is in operation, as the bulb’s temperature is very high and can cause burns upon contact. During bathing, try to avoid letting moisture from the bathroom enter the heater or its switch and socket. It is recommended to take preventive measures against moisture and water when installing the heater to reduce the likelihood of water vapor entering the heater.
