Bidex Diamond 900 Central Heating Kickspace Kitchen Plinth Heater - White Grille

Product Information

First off, we would like to note that the unit has a narrow profile and is only 3.5-inch tall, 8-inch deep, and 14.25-inch wide (the front cover is 3.5" x 16.315"). With such a low profile, the King heater conveniently fits under kitchen or bathroom cabinets, providing warm air all around. Also, it can be installed into the soffit area above the cabinets or into stair risers. The grill extends long enough from the sides to cover the mounting tabs. Features a choice of fan speeds and winter/summer settings - summer being fan only for air circulation There will be a commission process which is specific the every heater, but this will include bleeding any air out of the system. Follow the instructions to do this. They eliminate the need for a conventional radiator, giving you the freedom and flexibility for space saving design ideas, leading to: To say a few words about design. The dimensions of the Smiths Electric Kitchen Plinth Heater are pretty standard - 50 x 10 x 24 cm, the colour is classic, grey. However, if this colour doesn't suit your interior as much as you like, there are more colour variations available.

Connect the heater flow and return pipes as instructed by the manufacturer, if you have a Hydronic or Dual system. It is recommended that you fit an isolation valve on both so that the unit can be removed for repair or servicing. Most units are supplied with a flexible hose to make connecting easier, but ensure that they are not kinked once connected. If the room where you are going to install this heater is quite far from the boiler and you don't want to draw pipes to it, it may be better to use an electric heater. Moreover, keep in mind that hydronic heaters require some time before they start warming the room, while the electric ones will leave you in the cold if the power outage happens. Heating Area Of course, you don't expect much from an ordinary heater, but there are several useful extra functions that make heaters unique. A built-in thermostat is one of them. This superb feature will allow you to set the desired heat level and the heater will maintain it. Many heaters have safety systems which prevent fire accidents; it's particularly important for electric appliances. Heater Dimensions As we cover in our project about electrical safety, you should not work on electrics in a bathroom or kitchen unless you are a competent person, ie an electrician. The other great thing about plinth heaters is that they’re easy to control with thermostats and controllers/programmers. Our Diamond Bidex plinth heaters are available with a 7-day programmer, giving you the ability to have three time periods each day and preset the desired room temperature. A great energy (and money)-saving feature is the controller’s ‘open window sensing’ technology – which detects when a window or external door is left open for an extended period of time, and switches off the unit (or the fan, for central heating models).Bought this to replace same that we'd had for 15 years, and due to new kitchen decided to have a new one. It is ideal for our tiny kitchen, and quite easy to install. Can highly recommend. Also excellent service and delivery. There are a few features of commercially available heated skirtings that make them work more effectively that a simple system we just described. What we do like a lot is the remote control, which lets you change the heat level without getting out of bed, a valuable tool for chilly mornings when you just want to hide under the covers.

The big benefit is that they allow you to dispense with the need for a traditional radiator, and all the wall space that they take up, so you can have more kitchen units and not compromise on the heating. Once you have this information is it is relatively straight forward to choose the right size plinth heater for your needs, Most manufacturers publish specification sheets for their range of plinth heaters which show the output, although some complicate things further by showing different output values for different central heating system temperatures. All manufacturers quote the noise levels, but they are certainly no more than that of an electric oven. The burning dust smells is typically of electric fan heaters when they have not been used for a long time and is not dangerous or long lasting. These types refer to the heating element. The electric types are plinth mounted electric fan heaters, where as the Hydronic heaters generate heat from the central heating system through a heat exchanger. As if a radiator with a fan, the heater is connected to the central heating pipes over which the electric fan blows air, warming it before blowing it into the room.Clearly if you use a system that does not require a fan such as heated skirting boards you will not be subject to this constraint.
