Product Reviews

250 Watt 70 CFM Painted Steel Bulb Heater and Exhaust Fan 2.5 5 2 2
Does not perform as expected This fan and heater lamp combination appears well manufactured. Disappointment comes after the installation of this product. This heater lamp does not provide any more heat than bathroom lights on the wall. By specification, this lamp can use only up to 250 W bulbs. The customer service of Air King company transferred me to an engineer to discuss the problems. I received only a voice mail and nobody calls me back. The company I bought it from does not accept any responsibility to pay for the return costs. My advice is: do not buy this product, you will avoid unnecessary costs ant disappointment.

3 Questions from the Community

Loading nanoRep

Is it possible/safe to put in a higher Watt bulb or is the 250W enough heat for a small bathroom.

A 250 watt bulb is the maximum wattage the Air King AK917 fan and heater can take. It would not be safe to put in a bulb more than 250 watts. This wattage will be enough to heat a small bathroom.

What bulb is compatible?

The Air King AK917 can use one 250 watt maximum type R40 medium base infrared lamp.

Can I wire the fan separate from the heat lamp? On two different switches?

The Air King AK917 fan and heat lamp can absolutely be wired separately.

Why don't we show the price?

Like many retailers, Build.com can choose to set its own prices independently. And even though manufacturers require Build.com and other retailers to display a product's "minimum advertised price" (or MAP), the retailer can choose to sell for less than that. But the price must be conveyed in other ways, and each individual manufacturer's MAP policy determines where the price can be seen.

To see the price for this product at Build.com, you'll need to place it in your shopping cart, and maybe even proceed to final checkout. If you're not ready to buy the product, simply remove it from the cart.

Build.com apologizes for any inconvenience. We'd just like to offer you the chance to save extra money while we adhere to manufacturers' MAP policies. Build.com is also working to educate manufacturers on how their policies impact customers and their buying behavior.
