Heatable room size with a small electric panel heater 190 – 450 watts
The number of square metres a small electric panel heater with 190 – 450 watts can heat depends on various factors such as insulation and the number of exterior walls. These compact heaters are particularly popular for small WCs. Depending on the structural characteristics of your rooms, the typical heat demand usually lies within the following range:
- Very well insulated without exterior walls: 15 watts / m²
- Poorly insulated with 4 exterior walls: 120 watts / m²
The small electric panel heaters from VASNER with 190 – 450 watts are therefore able to heat the following room sizes to a comfortable temperature:
- 190 W: 1.6 – 12.7 m²
- 300 W: 2.5 – 20 m²
- 360 W: 3 – 24 m²
- 400 W: 3.3 – 26.7 m²
- 440 W: 3.7 – 29.3 m²
- 450 W: 3.8 – 30 m²
Running costs of a small electric panel heater
At an electricity price of 34 cents / kWh, a small electric panel heater with 190 – 450 watts incurs the following hourly heating costs:
- 190 W: 0.19 kW x €0.34 / kWh ≈ €0.06 / h
- 300 W: 0.3 kW x €0.34 / kWh ≈ €0.10 / h
- 360 W: 0.36 kW x €0.34 / kWh ≈ €0.12 / h
- 400 W: 0.4 kW x €0.34 / kWh ≈ €0.13 / h
- 440 W: 0.44 kW x €0.34 / kWh ≈ €0.15 / h

Instructions:
Every small electric panel heater from VASNER is supplied with a suitable bracket that allows both vertical and horizontal mounting. The bracket can be fixed quickly and easily at the desired location. Afterwards, the compact heater only needs to be hooked or clicked into place and secured (depending on the model and its mounting bracket).
The ideal mounting position of the infrared heater:
Opposite the intended heating area, at a maximum distance of 3 – 4 m.
Mounted in this way, the small electric panel heater warms the targeted area directly while the radiant heat distributes effectively throughout the room.
Small electric panel heater with feet for freestanding use:
All infrared heaters of the Citara M, M Plus, T, T Plus, G and S series with 450 watts of heating power can be combined with matching feet in white or black and used perfectly as a mobile heat source.
Small panel heater for bathroom & WC
In the bathroom – and in some cases in the WC – the heat demand is higher than in the rest of the house, in order to balance the increased humidity and the sensitivity to cold after showering. The heating demand calculator mentioned above takes these factors into account and selects the ideal heating output for your room. Thanks to the IP44 rating, all of the small electric panel heater models listed above from VASNER can be used safely in bathrooms and WCs. When installing the heater in a bathroom, a distance of 60 cm to any water source must be maintained despite the splash protection. Infrared heat is particularly pleasant and advantageous in damp rooms such as bathrooms, as it works quickly and directly, keeping bodies, surfaces and walls warm and dry, preventing condensation and thus helping to avoid mould. A discreet small infrared mirror heater above the washbasin provides warmth without fogging up – ideal for your morning beauty routine.
Thermostat control for your small electric panel heater
When purchasing your small electric panel heater, you should order a suitable thermostat system at the same time. This enables you to set an exact target temperature and to programme energy-efficient automatic heating cycles based on time and day. Heating only when you are actually at home can save up to 10% in electricity or heating costs. Some infrared heaters (Citara M RX) feature an integrated wireless receiver, meaning that only an RX thermostat transmitter with display is required for control. For the other series, various plug-in thermostats and wireless thermostat sets for surface and flush-mounted installation are available in the VASNER SHOP.
