I installed a vent fan/light/heater combo, it had a toaster coil heater and not a heat lamp. The toaster coil heater need is close to 1000 watts and I needed #12 for it coming from the panel to the triple wall switch. A pair or #14's (one was 14/3) was needed for the light/fan/heater wiring from the switch to the unit to have control independently over all 3 functions.
It's a bit noisy in the heater mode (the blower fan part) but run the bathroom temp from high 60's to high 70's/low 80's during the course of taking a shower, really nice in the winter.
Mine was a Braun unit that they still sell a version of a Lowes and such. The wiring hassle/effort is significant.
