The master bathroom in my house is freezing in winter. I'm thinking
of installing a wall heater or portable heater that I could put on a
timer to run just for a couple of hours in the morning. I have 2
options:
1) Install an electric wall heater. There's an outlet on the other
side of the wall in where I'd install the heater, so I could run power
to it easily. The heater would be 2ft from the toilet, 4-5ft from the
shower and 6ft from the bath. It would be in a corner, almost under a
window (the window's on the other wall formed by the corner).
2) Install an outlet, presumably a GFI, in the same location, and plug
in a portable heater on a timer.
Any opinions? Are there any electrical code issues I should know
about?


Don't know about code, but I did this recently: bought an oil filled
electric radiator for a somewhat large bathroom. I think it's a
Kenwood. It has a timer and heats the room up to 80 for 2 hours
every morning. Now my furnace only turns above "nighttime"
temperatures for a few hours in the evening as I no longer reheat
my house in the morning just to take a shower and dress.

I went with the portable as (a) it was a quick solution in the midst of
winter, and (b) I figured there may be times when I want to use
the heater in the basement or garage.

I *wish* I had radiant heat on a timer under the tile floor. And I'm
going to look into the duct or towel heater option.
