Installing the Winterwarm heater won’t be an issue as it’s quite compact at 41 x 11 x 21.5 cm and can be built into a wall, a kitchen cabinet or under cupboard. The device plugs into the electric mains and the one thing we aren’t too thrilled about is its 2 KW power consumption. While heaters tend to eat up quite a lot of energy, we hoped a smart device like this would offer a budget setting of sorts. However, between the 2 options of low heat and boost mode, the difference is only in the amount of warmth expelled. The wattage stays the same regardless of the temperature you set on the thermostat. They eliminate the need for a conventional radiator, giving you the freedom and flexibility for space saving design ideas, leading to: Kitchens are often the room where space is at a premium, so traditional radiators take up precious space and limit design possibilities. However, its installation process may pose a challenge for those without prior experience. For such cases, the assistance of a professional installer might be necessary to ensure the heater's safe and optimal functioning. This heater is proven to last long since the manufacturer took its safety seriously. The heater connects to the electricity network via a built-in 3a fuse, which in case of a voltage drop or any other electric problem will turn it off automatically. Plus, like most other heaters, this model features overheat protection. All this helps significantly prolong its lifespan.

Efficient Heating: When it comes to warming up your living space, plinth heaters excel in efficiency. They provide instant heat without the need for lengthy warm-up times. As they are installed close to the floor, plinth heaters effectively distribute warmth across the room, eliminating cold spots and ensuring a cosy environment. With adjustable thermostat controls, you have full control over the temperature, allowing you to create your ideal comfort zone.Loss: Although the heater comes with a manual, some customers may find the installation process somewhat challenging. It might be beneficial to have a professional do the installation to ensure it's done safely and correctly. New to me, that is. We've had an electrically-driven plinth heater for many many years. Now we've exchanged it for a new Myson that works from the water-based central heating system. It's automatic, flexible, very effective and almost noiseless. Hugely pleased. Why didn't we do it years ago? Feel like radiators aren’t doing enough to keep your home warm and regular heaters are way too bulky and a tripping hazard?

Hide this heater near your floor and enjoy the cosiness of your room without even seeing the heat source.

Win: Users have control over the heat output, thanks to the adjustable thermostat. This feature ensures both user comfort and energy efficiency. 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). The fan only comes on when the heating is actually on, and is quiet. There is a cooling fan for the summer months too. The Smiths Hydronic Plinth Heater is a high-capacity, powerful heating solution that's capable of efficiently warming medium to large-sized spaces. The compact design and clear instructions make for an easy installation process, while the built-in thermostat allows users to maintain the desired temperature level with ease. 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.
