[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re turning our finished basement into our guest room.

The basement is cold - we are addressing that with electric baseboard heaters.

Any ideas how to warm up the full bathroom, without what I assume is the massive expense of heated flooring? The bathroom is small- no room for a space heater or electric baseboards.

One idea I had is to install a heated towel rack above the toilet (price on amazon is $150, and then the electrician to hardwire it). That doesnt warm the room, though.

We are having a ceiling exhaust fan installed in the bathroom since guests will be showering in it. [b]Are there ceiling exhaust fans that have a heater component[/b], or perhaps the light portion can emit heat?

I’d appreciate any ideas. [/quote]

Yes, this is a very reasonable option.  It's not that that the light portion emits heat, but there is a heating element in the unit and the fan blows warm air down (just running the opposite direction from when it sucks moist air up).  My grandparents had this in their very modest bathroom in the 80s, should be plenty of options.  Also just had an AirBnB in New Mexico with this, which was fantastic when coming in from the pool.

This may not cut it for the DCUM crowd though, who will probably advise demolishing your whole house and rebuilding new.  :lol: [/quote]
