You can control its operation through a choice of Broan wall control models (available separately):

Why Spot Heating Makes Sense in Your Home

You hastily get ready every morning, head for work, the office, or school, just when the central heating system has finished warming the entire house. It's about as inefficient as it gets. Spot heating solves that problem. No longer will you heat an entire home when you simply need a bit of comfort in the bath or dressing room, or any other room.

Efficient Heating Element

Even the most efficient central heating systems send heat up the chimney. But Broan spot heaters deliver every bit of energy back into your home. There's no external venting, so the electricity you convert to heat is delivered directly where you want it.

Simple, Safe, and Efficient.

Permanently lubricated motors are quiet and require no maintenance. They can be operated by a built-in adjustable thermostat or an optional wall-mount controller. Heaters may be converted in the field to a choice of wattages/voltages. And for safety, heaters are thermal overload protected and the complete heater assembly conveniently removes from the housing for cleaning.

Today, Broan-NuTone leads the industry with forward-thinking residential ventilation products, customized climate, communications and storage solutions and superior customer service. The Broan brand focuses on range hoods, ventilation fans, heater/fan/light combination units, Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) fresh air systems, built-in heaters, whole-house fans, attic ventilators and trash compactors, while the NuTone brand offers door chimes, central vacuum systems, stereo intercom systems, medicine cabinets, ironing centers, ceiling fans and ventilation fans.

Customers say

Customers like the temperature, performance, ease of installation, quality and value of the light fixture. For example, they mention that it provides some heat in the bathrooms on those colder mornings, the small fan helps spread the heat and that it works great in combo with one red and one white light to give a little heat. They are also happy with value, and appearance. That said, opinions are mixed on the noise it makes.

Customers like the temperature of the light fixture. They say it provides some heat in the bathrooms on colder mornings, the small fan helps spread the heat, and it takes the chill out of the bathroom. The dual lights radiate lots of heat very quickly, and the fan helps bring the warmth down. The lamps (each 250w) are nice and toasty, and there are no worries with heat bulbs on wet skin.
