Common bathroom heating equipment includes Yuba, heater and so on. So, is it better to use a bathroom heater or a heater for bathroom heating? Next, let’s introduce what kind of bathroom heating equipment is available and which is better.
1 What are the bathroom heating equipment
Yuba
Yuba has been on the market for many years, and its development is relatively mature, and it is currently used by many families.
1. Lamp-heating Yuba
[Advantages] Lamp-heating Yuba is the earliest Yuba product that appeared on the market, and it still maintains a considerable size. market share. Due to the long production time and large output, this kind of Yuba has mature technology and relatively low price. In addition, the lamp heating type Yuba also has many advantages such as rapid heating, centralized heating, and rapid indoor heating. It is a product with high practicability and cost performance.
[Disadvantages] The main disadvantage of the lamp heating type bathroom heater is that it is not suitable for bathrooms with a large area, because the heating range of the lamp heating type bathroom heater is relatively small, and there will be cold in larger bathrooms. Thermal unevenness. In addition, the light of the lamp-warming Yuba is relatively dazzling, which can easily hurt the eyes of the elderly and children.
2. Air-heated Yuba
[Advantages] Compared with the lamp-heated Yuba, the air-heated Yuba has the advantages of high safety and heating. The advantages of even, soft light allow even larger bathrooms to be heated evenly. In addition, the appearance of the air-heated Yuba is more modern, and the decoration installed in the bathroom will be better than that of the lamp-heated Yuba.
[Disadvantages] Unlike the lamp-heated Yuba, the air-heated Yuba has a longer heating time and needs to be preheated before taking a bath, so it will consume more electricity. In addition, the air-heated Yuba will make the human body feel cold when the air is supplied, which is also the most uncomfortable place for the elderly and children. Third, the sales price of air-heated bathroom heaters is significantly higher than that of lamp-heated bathroom heaters, so the price/performance ratio is relatively poor!
3. Carbon fiber Yuba
[Advantages] Infrared radiation heat, more healthy. Compared with the lamp warmer, the wavelength of infrared radiation is close to that of the human body, which is more comfortable and healthy. Although it is slower than the instant heating of the lamp heater, but compared to the wind heater, it is already fast, and it really achieves the purpose of being both healthy and fast. Compared with the lamp heater, the carbon fiber Yuba is more suitable for the elderly with children at home. For the eyes, infrared radiation has no effect.
[Disadvantages]The price is high. As a product of aerospace technology, the counterfeiting of carbon fiber is not low, which is why the price of the common carbon fiber Yuba on the market is higher than the ordinary price. The market awareness is relatively high. It may also be this reason coupled with the high cost. Many well-known manufacturers of Yuba have not produced carbon fiber Yuba, which led many friends to actually buy some ordinary Yuba in order to buy a brand of Yuba with confidence.
Heaters

The heating is fast, the local heating is slow, the local heating is small, the temperature difference is small, the installation is convenient for the wall, the ceiling is complicated and convenient, and the wall-mounted power consumption is small. The price is 500 yuan to 1000 yuan and 200 yuan ~300 yuan for functions such as lighting, heating, ventilation, air heating, disinfection and other heating, humidification, and table wall dual-use people.

4 Purchase of heaters
1. Distinguish types and purchase as needed
Unlike electric heaters that rely on radiation to dissipate heat, heaters are characterized by Forced convection heating to quickly raise the room temperature. In addition, compared with electric heaters, heaters generally have the advantages of small size and light weight, and are especially suitable for heating in smaller rooms.
