Let me congratulate the inventor of bathroom heat, it really was a stroke of genius. The bathroom light and bathroom vent (or bathroom light/vent combo) seem obvious to me, but I guess should also be recognized. After all, everyone hates foggy mirrors, peeling paint and brushing their teeth in the dark.
I guess, for me, shower heat just takes everything to another level of comfort, a feeling you definitely want in the lav. When I first bought my place, the master bath had a heat/vent/light combo that was original to the unit (probably 18 years old) and the heat and ventilation barely worked. I took showers in the morning only to be greeted by something out of Stephen King's "The Mist" when finished. With that much steam floating around, my towel was wet before I even used it. Additionally, I would freeze my ass off. As a result, I would go to work tired, cranky and jew fro'd (from the excess humidity of the steam).
After a four (should have been hour) day project, the new system was in. The fan and light did their jobs, but the heat was revolutionary. The system has the kind of heat that runs current through a coil and uses a fan to push the hot air into the bathroom. Unlike a heat lamp, where you have to get directly underneath, this thing heats the whole bathroom. Now, after a shower, I go to work tired, cranky and "Heat Misered.".
The bathroom heat is so good, I even use it while brushing my teeth and washing my hands. Now, if I could only figure out how to lower my electricity bill. Maybe I don't need to run heat in the rest of the apartment.
