Our Top 5 Best Bathroom Heat Light Fans for Melbourne Homes

The following bathroom exhaust fan with heater and light units have all been selected specifically for their performance, cost value, and suitability for Melbourne homes. Our home electricians can install any of these models and other bathroom exhaust fan units either sourced directly by us at Approved Electrix or provided by you and a third-party supplier.

1. Clipsal AIRFLOW 6600ADS-WE

Affordable, reliable, and high-performance, the Clipsal AIRFLOW 6600ADS-WE boasts an 8W central light for balanced illumination, as well as a high-performance exhaust fan with a slimline grille and improved ball-bearing motor for superior performance when it comes to air flow (measuring at 338 m3/hr).

With 2×275 radiant heat lamps, double insulation, and an in-built backdraught shutters for preventing air draughts, the Clipsal AIRFLOW 6600ADS-WE is a suitable 3-in-1 (bathroom exhaust fan with heat and light) for smaller bathrooms, and laundry spaces, including Euro laundries. So if you’re planning any electrical renovations for laundry facilities, consider installing this model to help ensure your newly renovated spaces stay moisture-free with minimal cost.

2. Thermalite Deluxe 3-in-1

With 4x275W heat lamps and an efficient exhaust fan with a 250m3/hr airflow, the Thermalite Deluxe 3-in-1 bathroom exhaust fan, heater and light unit is a strong fit for larger bathroom spaces and ensuites, where chilly bathroom environments can also affect interior temperatures in facilities. The inclusion of 4 heat lamps makes the Thermalite Deluxe a speedier solution to bathroom heating than the Clipsal AIRFLOW.

The only downside to the Thermalite Deluxe is it isn’t whisper quiet, with a sound rating of 61 decibels when the exhaust fan is switched on. Whilst this still isn’t particularly loud, considerations must be made if you’re planning to install this bathroom heating unit in an ensuite bathroom. Our exhaust fan installation experts can assess the layout of your ensuites and advise whether you may benefit from a quieter bathroom heating solution for your Melbourne home.

3. IXL 11463 | VIVID TRADE 3-IN-1

The IXL 11463 VIVID TRADE 3-IN-1 bathroom exhaust fan, light and heating unit is another affordable and highly versatile solution for small to medium sized bathrooms. Equipped with a 10W r80 LED light that also includes 3 different lighting options (warm, cool, and daylight), the IXL 11463 VIVID TRADE boasts versatility in spades and can help effortlessly elevate your bathroom atmosphere to suit your morning or evening routines.

The IXL 11463 VIVID TRADE also comes fitted with 2x275W infrared heat maps, a high-performance exhaust fan system with a 310m3/hr airflow, and dishwasher-safe fascia for easy DIY cleaning. Included wall switch controls help you take full advantage of this unit, allowing you to switch conveniently through light colours and fan and heat operations.

4. Ventair Sahara Bathroom 4-in-1

The Ventair Sahara is a bit of an anomaly on this list, because it’s a 4-in-1 unit, whereas the rest we’ve shared here are actually 3-in1s. So what does the Ventair Sahara have that the others don’t? Alongside being a bathroom exhaust fan with heater and light, the Ventair Sahara also doubles up as a cooling unit, making it not only ideal for bathroom heating this Melbourne winter, but also bathroom cooling for many Melbourne summers to come!

A 2000W radiant heat with half and full heat settings and a 20W LED panel light ensures that the Ventair Sahara provides more than ample illumination. The exhaust fan also boasts 3m of aluminium ducting and an external outlet grille with a backdraught stopper for optimal performance.

With a 380m3/hr airflow extraction rate and a decibel rating that’s yet to specified through industry testing, the Ventair Sahara is an objectively good choice for any Melbourne home that may have reduced insulation and thus, could benefit from dual bathroom heating and cooling for all-year comfort.

5. IXL Tastic Luminate Single 3-in-1

When it comes to bathroom heating for Melbourne winters, it doesn’t get more high-performance than the IXL Tastic Luminate. Its exhaust fan is easily the strongest on our list, with 480m3/hr powerful airflow extraction that’s also apparently whisper quiet and recorded at literally ~0 decibels.

The Tastic Luminate’s 800W infrared heat lamp and 25W dimmable LED light are also spectacularly designed with a streamlined profile that’ll pair perfectly with any contemporary bathroom designs. IXL’s inclusion of Halo Heat™ technology and the physical panel design of the lamps also helps your bathroom heat up faster. The unit’s auto cut-off timer also ensures you won’t waste energy running this bathroom exhaust fan, heater and light system unnecessarily.

Dean was super easy to coordinate with. Had 2 electricians out within hours who were super nice and replaced light switches fast. Really good prices, by far the cheapest. Would use again easily.

Received 4 quotes for a switchboard upgrade. This group was the most professional and gave me the most confidence. Was flexible in adjusting the work to suit my preferences, turned up on time, work was completed without fuss and I was pleasantly surprised that they cleaned up everything at the end. I had an inspector drop by to review the work (because this included a new mains connection from the street) and they said it was a ‘good job’. Recommended.

Very happy experience with Approved Electrix. Very prompt response to my request. Though mine was a small job, got rid of an unwanted wire and relocated a PowerPoint, it was done quickly and nicely. Thanks again to Dean and his team. Definitely will call them again when I have another job in the future.

The boys did fantastic work very quickly at my place. My new garage is now wired up for cameras and electric car charging couldn’t be happier.Really appreciate Jordon accomodating changes to the plan on the fly as I thought of additional stuff I would like. Shannon also did great work from digging trenches to getting in the roof to run cables and wiring up all my new lights. I’ll definitely use these guys again.

I needed some domestic work: a mix of new power points and lights, the relocation of internet (FTTB) modem point to a more convenient location, and then running two cat6 network cables from the modem point across my apartment to another rooms.Dean responded fast to provide a detailed and competitive quote. Once confirmed he was able to schedule the job two days later.I work in IT and have seen lots of electrical work carried out by various electricians over the years so I'm confident in saying that his guys carried out the work very professionally.Rob turned up when they said he would, had the all necessary parts already with him, did the work to a high quality, and most impressively, was able to recommend creative and low cost solutions for a couple of things I hadn't considered, e.g. the network cables were cleverly able to be routed via the roof space to in between the narrow wall so there was no additional unsightly holes or conduit. Then they tested everything properly and cleaned up very well after themselves.This is all consistent with my previous experience when employing Dean several times over the past almost 10 years. Great service at reasonable prices... what more could you ask for?!

I have been using Dean and his team regularly since 2016 to assist with a range of electrical works at both my house and my parent's unit. Not only has he been very responsive and easy to deal with but the work is always of the highest quality. Highly recommended!

I went to the trouble of getting a number of quotes for a TV to be mounted & for x3 ceiling fans to be installed. Approved Electrix was not only the quickest business to respond, but the easiest to communicate with and had the most affordable quote. Their text message booking system was easy to use and made communication really easy. I was home the day the electrician (Al) came to do the job. He was so kind and helpful. He chatted to me about what he was doing and asked lots of questions has he installed the items to ensure they were positioned in the most ideal location. He even helped me fix up a few other small jobs in my house, he was wonderful & it was an excellent experience. I will definitely be using them again if I ever need electrical work done. Thank you for such a seamless service and thank you to Al for his work at my place :)

As a tradesperson myself I have seen and dealt with many trades of varying degrees of quality, from some of the best (rare) to some real shockers unfortunately. Dean and his team of guys most definitely impressed, the whole way through. Thanks Dean for coming by so quickly and for organising the job at lighting speed. Most appreciated thank you. Your guys were early/right on time and so friendly, polite and professional. I’m wrapped with Rob’s work and his meticulousness. Your team is teaching each other quality, and apprentice Shannon is so keen and willing to learn and keen to be helpful and back up his ‘mentor’ on the job at such a young age.. It was awesome to see!!! Quality is hard to find. Definitely highly recommend. Champions! Thank you

I needed a data cable installed at our new unit. AE attended the site on short notice and provided a quote, and were able to start the job two days later. The day of the work, the electricians arrived promptly at their start time and completed their work. Would hire again.

Dean with his excellent team (Al and John) did a number of electical jobs around our home recently. We are very happy with the whole process and outcome. Even when we added more items on the fly they were happy to accomodate and did everything to a very high standard. I highly recommend Approved Electrix for all your electrical needs!

Really happy with the service and work I received from Dean and his apprentice. I had a number of new light fittings to install and also wanted some advice on getting power and lighting to our garages. I will book dean again for future work and highly recommend! Thanks again, Dean, the lighting looks amazing.

I am writing this review on behalf of my parents. I always use and recommend Dean to everyone. Recently my parents had a problem with random power going off at some parts of their home. Being elderly , Dean attended on site immediately, identified the issue and fixed it. He is very experienced and a genuine person , does not waste time and most importantly fixes the problem without overecharging. Would highly recommend Dean.
