Apart from a central heating radiator, which we can't do (and even if we
could, the central heating won't be on during the night so it's a
non-starter anyway), what's the best type of heater for in a bathroom?

This query has been prompted by a rather unpleasant situation. The ceiling
height in our (small) bathroom is 7ft 6in and we currently have a fan
heater mounted on the wall at about 6ft high. The fan heater starts off at
2kW and when IT thinks it's warm enough, IT switches down to 1kW
automatically.

At about 3am one very cold morning I was woken up with a dose of the runs
and spent about 50 minutes to an hour sat on the loo. Of course, we all
know that hot air rises, so up at ceiling level the room was lovely and
warm, so much so that the fan heater took it upon itself to cut it's
output down to 1kW. Meanwhile, at 'sat on toilet level' I'm freezing me
nads off and shivering for England, as well as suffering the squits!

The fan heater has, just this very morning, gone to that great bathroom in
the sky and I'm wondering what we can replace it with that will allow heat
to get down to toilet height in order to avoid such a situation again in
the future.


As it's causing so much speculation, here's a picture of the current
situation. I don't want a solution where I have to rip half the bathroom
apart or run new pipes/cables, all I want is a suggestion for a better form
of heating than this IF ONE EXISTS:

Just take care about what you eat and drink.


If only it were that simple.
