MORE SPACE WITH KITCHEN PLINTH HEATER?
As we know when it comes to the
kitchen, every home owner likes to
have more usable space. This may
be for extra kitchen cupboards or
worktop areas but the kitchen is
already full so finding that valuable
extra space may prove to be difficult.
Sometimes the only space available is
where the radiator is fixed to the wall.
Once the radiator is removed to
free up the space it brings another
challenge as there now needs to be an
alternative heating option installed to
heat the kitchen.Underfloor heating
is one option, however the cost of
installing this in the old existing
kitchen could prove to be very
expensive. The floor would need to
be excavated, new insulation boards
have to go down and the under floor
heating pipes secured. The pipe loops
are then connected to an appropriate
manifold and finally the screed goes
down.
A much more cost effective solution
is installing the hydronic plinth heater
(fan-assisted radiator).
This has become 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 so much cheaper
to install compared to under floor
heating. Hydronic plinth heaters can
be directly connected to two pipe
central heating system.
A Thermix plinth heater that’s
controlled by a wireless thermostat
not only provides consistent
temperature control in the kitchen, it
also allows the user to set different on
/off time periods to the plinth heater.
There is also an option available to
control the heater using a smart phone
or Alexa.
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 not in use.
