My bathroom is about 12x13 =150 sf and the shower is at the opposite corner of the fan wall switch. Will it even turn on when I shower? Remote sensor?

I bought this product andvhad to get it replaced. Both times they malfunctioned. The product is not worth purchasing. I went back to a manual wall switch.

It works as advertised although I prefer to turn the fan on manually at the beginning of a shower. to get the airflow going and a good exchange rate established prior to having high humidity turn the fan on.

I am not sure. My sensor is only 1 foot away and it turns itself on. It also senses moisture in the humid northeast and will sometimes turn on when it is raining outside and the windows are open. It probably will sense moisture from shower, but it may take awhile to work it's way over to the sensor.

We have had this in our bathroom now for almost a year and it has worked very well. The humidity sensor turns on and off with use of the shower.

Our bath is slightly larger and I find that it doesn't come on automatically very often. There has to be airflow across the sensor or lots is moisture. The timer works very well, so we just turn it on before showering.

It should work with a bathroom fan, but will shut off shortly after any motion stops. I agree that a timer would be a better choice.

I use it in my bathroom window. I tend to get a "mold" issue if I don't. I leave the fan in the window already with the "on" switch in place. The outlet is the same height as the height of the window. (Installed by an electrician). I have a separate light switch to turn in on. I use it primarily during the summer. After the shower, the steam is literally running down the walls. The fan helps to dissipate the steam. When it comes to electric and water, use with caution. Good luck.

Suggest you contact Wingits. They were very helpful to me when I had an installation question. I have a tiled shower and can't answer your question.

Same here, I've set the time delay to 0 (30s) to test. In my case the bathroom is dark when I enter so the sensitivity dial is supposed to be set all the way clockwise. When I had it all the way to the left the fan turned Off and then right back On after 2s...

I use two 250 watt infra bulbs and it heats up my small bathroom just fine. I have it on a timer (to turn off) and turn it on about 5 minutes before I shower so the room is nice and warm. Maybe your ceilings are higher than most houses?

I agree with rrr's response.... you can definetly clip it to a shower rod... I hope the shower rod isn't near the shwer though.... safe fanning :)

Yes, it can be. I have 2 in the bathroom. One is mounted directly in the shower. When you mount it directly in the shower you need to put it on a GFI circuit as recommend by the mfg or install a GFI circuit breaker to cover everything on the circuit if you don't want to wire it separately.

The short answer is "yes", you need a separate thermostat. The longer answer varies from "maybe" to "no". We bought the Dimplex heater to replace a similar one that we have been using of 25 years with just a switch - no thermostat. We have 2 of these heaters in bathrooms for the specific purpose of warming the bathroom when one was taking a bath or a shower. We are in Maine with primarily wood heat, so various rooms differ in heat levels quite a bit. Works fine, turn the heater on, take your tub or shower, then turn the heater off. If you want to use this heater to maintain a certain temperature in a room, then "yes" a thermostat is required. I believe the Dimplex heaters have provision for a thermostat to be mounted in the heater, not an ideal situation from my perspective, but it could work for some installations. Manual or Dimplex website has more info on this thermostat. Hope this helps. Richard, Camden, Maine

I have it in three bathrooms on three fans. Over a year now with one bathroom fan getting daily use. My certified electrician installed (I purchased) and he made no comments about potential problems. It works well for me!

Probably not. We have a vanity light in that bathroom as well. The exhaust fan is closer to the shower and that area was kind of dark. I'd say it's good secondary light. We have it on a separate switch from the vanity light.

No. It is better to use a countdown timer for bathroom light and fan. Please check this model # for details: HET06

none.The shifter handle that mounts on the wall, does it all. off/on hot/cold.You may want to remove screens and fittings from inside the showerhead, if you have hard water.

I couldn't get it to work on the wall in my bathroom, so am not sure about your shower stall.

I think you'll be fine...but I agree with you that you can't go too big..I installed this Panasonic fan in our main bath shower, which is 6' x 5' and is separated from the main bath by a door. If works great.

Hey Tom, sorry I am unable to answer your question as I have not installed the shower panel yet.
