How to Choose the Best Bathroom Heater
When selecting a bathroom heater, consider these key factors:
Bathroom Size
Smaller bathrooms can often get by with a 3-in-1 heat lamp unit, while larger spaces may need radiant strip heaters or dual-panel systems for even distribution.
Installation Type
Ceiling-mounted models save floor and wall space, while wall-mounted panel heaters offer flexible placement and sleek aesthetics.
Ventilation Needs
Models with integrated exhaust fans can help prevent moisture build-up and mould, making them ideal for bathrooms with limited airflow.
Heating Style
-
Infrared heat lamps: Quick and direct warmth
-
Fan-assisted ceramic: Disperses heat evenly across larger areas
-
Convection panel: Great for silent, steady ambient heat
Bonus Features
Look for extras like timers, smart thermostat controls, LED lighting, or remote functionality to improve comfort and convenience.
Which Bathroom Heater is Right for You?
When choosing a bathroom heater, it’s important to consider your room size, airflow needs, and the type of warmth you prefer. If you're after an all-in-one ceiling solution, there are two main types of 3-in-1 heaters: radiant heat models that use heat lamps for instant warmth, and fan-forced heaters like the Sahara 4-in-1 that distribute warm air more evenly. For a quieter experience with consistent warmth, convection panel heaters are a solid choice. Prefer instant, focused heat? Go for radiant strip heaters or heat lamps.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a 3-in-1 and a panel heater?
A 3-in-1 heater combines a heat source, lighting, and an exhaust fan in one ceiling-mounted unit—great for functionality and space-saving. Panel heaters, on the other hand, provide silent, convection-based warmth and are usually wall-mounted, offering a sleek and minimal look without built-in lighting or exhaust.
Can bathroom heaters be installed above a shower?
No, bathroom heaters can never be installed directly above a shower area under Australian standards. For safety, always follow manufacturer guidelines and consult a licensed electrician when determining placement.
How much electricity does a bathroom heater use?
Usage depends on the model. Infrared heat lamps use 275W–1100W, while panel heaters typically consume 1000–2000W. Choose energy-efficient options when possible.
