ALEXA, “TURN ON THE PLINTH HEATER”
Installing the hydronic plinth heater is a great choice for
home owners when either replacing kitchen radiators or
planning a new kitchen. Plinth heaters can not only save
space, they are much cheaper to install compared to under
floor heating.
Although plinth heaters are proven to be the best choice
in heating the kitchen compared to radiators or UFH, in
the past they lacked the controllability. The only control
available was by means of a simple rocker switch to turn the
heater on/off manually. Due to the location of the plinth
heater, manual operation of the switch could be challenging
for people with age related conditions. At Thermix we
developed a new product to overcome this problem.
With smart speakers like Amazon Alexa or Google home
becoming more common place in our homes, many devices
are being controlled via these. We have introduced the
hydronic plinth heater controlled by a voice command
or smart devices (i.e. amazon Alexa or smart phones). Our
voice controlled kitchen plinth heater (Pat pending) can be
connected to your Amazon Alexa or google home system to
control your heater using simple voice command or operate
the device remotely via Alexa App.
The app has a user-friendly interface that allows you to
control multiple heaters in your system with minimal effort.
Customer can also benefit with other features like sharing to
other family members so they can access the same settings,
timers & schedules for total convenience, the app is Amazon
Alexa and Google Home compatible for hands-free voice
control.

We are the first company in UK to introduce the Voice
controlled plinth heater in the heating market.
Thermix Voice controlled plinth heaters models are available
with four different heat outputs ranging from 1.5kW to 2.4
kW. Also offered are a choice of front grilles, including
the popular brushed stainless steel version, and a range
of powder coated options in white, silver or black. For
customers who want to colour-match their plinth, there is a
self-colour grille ready to paint.
With the help of their low water content, plinth heaters
provide faster heat response and leave much less residual
heat when the heater turns off. This feature not only
provides comfort heating to the user but also saves energy
by not heating the room when it’s not needed.
