If you turn up the heat in a room, that won't necessarily cause condensation to form on mirrors in the room. The formation of tiny water droplets on the mirror depends upon how humid the air is to begin with, what the temperature of the glass is compared to the nearby air, and how clean or dirty the glass is. (Condensation has a hard time forming on clean glass.) If the room heated up very quickly, much faster than the mirror, then condensation could form on the glass. If you happen to bring a cold mirror into a warm, humid room, then condensation will form on the mirror. Or if you introduce steam or water vapor into a room, as when you turn on the hot water in the shower, condensation may form on the mirrors in the bathroom. In both cases, the condensation forms not because the temperature in the room is high but because the temperature of the air close to the glass is much cooler than the air in the rest of the room. Since cool air cannot hold as much water vapor as warm air, the water vapor precipitates out of the air and forms microscopic liquid water droplets on tiny pieces of dust on the glass.
