Wiring from standard ceiling fixtures can be used to wire bathroom heaters.
Central heat and air installers typically minimize or avoid installing ventilation in bathrooms to prevent condensation buildup due to the extra moisture already present in the space. This can make for uncomfortable room temperatures. Air conditioning is typically not a major problem, but winter temperatures may make your bathroom nearly unusable, not to mention the increased risk of frozen pipes. Installing a forced air radiant heater is one way to alleviate this problem.
