Project Information
The homeowner's primary goal was to make their bathroom more comfortable during the cold winter months without resorting to a noisy, dust-circulating space heater. They also wanted a solution for a constantly fogged-up mirror. The $999 WarmlyYours Ember Mirror Radiant Panel Heater was the perfect fit. This sleek, wall-mounted mirror heats objects and people directly using quiet, infrared technology, effectively turning the mirror surface into a gentle heat source. The $999 price tag was considered a worthwhile investment for a permanent fixture that provides both comfort and utility.
Installation was straightforward, utilizing the unit's dual-connection capability. The homeowner chose the simple plug-in connection, allowing for easy placement and immediate use. The panel's slim profile (just 1.375" deep) meant it blended seamlessly into the bathroom wall, looking like an ordinary mirror. By positioning the 35" x 24" unit in the main vanity area, the radiant heat solved the problem of a chilly room and delivered the added benefit of a naturally fog-free mirror after every shower, providing a significant daily comfort upgrade.
The outcome is a cozy, elegant bathroom that efficiently maintains supplemental warmth. The homeowner achieved a high-end, maintenance-free heating solution that is aesthetically superior and safer than a portable space heater. The Ember Mirror not only added comfort and luxury but also boosted the energy-efficiency profile of the room by providing targeted heat exactly where it was needed, reducing reliance on the central HVAC system.
