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 .
