Eglo Bathroom Heating

Eglo Bathroom Heating Buying Guide

Eglo bathroom heating units combine a heater, an exhaust fan and a light in one ceiling fitting. This collection includes the Eglo Heatflow 2 and Heatflow 4, the Vesuvius 2 and Vesuvius 4, and the Inferno 4 in white, along with the Eglo E27 275W R125 heat lamp bulb for replacements. They suit bathrooms and ensuites where you want warmth on cold mornings, steam extraction and general light without three separate fittings on the ceiling.

What is a 3-in-1 bathroom heater?

A 3-in-1 unit is a single ceiling-mounted fitting that heats the room, extracts steam and moisture through an exhaust fan, and provides light. Because everything sits in one fitting, the ceiling needs only one cut-out and one set of wiring and ducting, which keeps the layout simple in a renovation. Eglo is a lighting maker, so the light is treated as a core part of each unit.

Which Eglo model should I choose?

The Inferno, Heatflow and Vesuvius lines each offer a different heating configuration and light profile, and the 2 and 4 versions differ in size and heat output. Choose by the size of your bathroom first: compare the heat output and coverage on each specification sheet against your room's floor area. Ceiling height, insulation and the number of external walls also affect how quickly a unit warms the space, so a cold, high-ceilinged room needs more output than a small, well-insulated ensuite.

What is the Eglo R125 heat lamp bulb for?

The Eglo E27 275W R125 heat lamp bulb is a replacement infrared heat globe with an E27 screw base, for heater units that use heat lamps. Check that your unit takes an E27 R125 lamp at 275W before ordering, and always turn off the power and let the old globe cool before changing it.

How is an Eglo bathroom heater installed?

Installation must be carried out by a licensed electrician who understands bathroom zone requirements. The exhaust must be ducted to the outside, not into the roof cavity, so moisture doesn't cause damp or mould. Confirm the ceiling cut-out size for your chosen model before cutting, and check the depth of the ceiling cavity, as combination units are deeper than a standard light. In a renovation, the ducting may need to be rerouted if the old fan was in a different spot.

Are bathroom heaters expensive to run?

The heating element draws far more power than the fan or light, so running cost depends mostly on how long the heat is on. Many households use the light and fan every day and switch on the heat only on cold mornings and evenings. Where the model allows, wire each function to its own switch so you can run them independently rather than all at once.

How do I maintain a 3-in-1 unit?

Dust and lint build up on the exhaust side over time and reduce extraction. Turn off the power and wipe the grille and light diffuser every few months with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. If the fan becomes noisy or the unit stops heating evenly, have an electrician check it rather than leaving it running.

Completing the room

Compare other combination units in 3 in 1 bathroom heater lights, or choose separate fittings from bathroom exhaust fans and bathroom lighting. For vanity light, see wall lights at The Blue Space.
