How to pick the right wattage for your bathroom ceiling heater

Nobody likes that shock of cold air when you step out of a hot shower. It’s the worst part of the morning. Recessed infrared heaters fix this by warming you up directly, rather than trying to heat up all the air in the room. But here’s the thing: you can’t just grab the most powerful unit on the shelf and call it a day.

Getting the size right

You’ve got to look at your floor space. If you’re just dealing with a tiny powder room (under 5m²), a 400W or 600W unit is plenty. If you go bigger in a space that small, you’ll end up feeling like you’re standing under a heat lamp at a buffet. It’s too much. For your average bathroom (5m² to 10m²), 800W or 1200W usually does the trick. Now, if you have a massive master bath or those fancy high ceilings, you’ll need more punch. Instead of one giant heater, I’d suggest a few 1200W units spread out. That way, you don’t end up with one scorching spot and a few freezing corners.
