The Bidex 500 plinth heater is a high quality heating solution for your kitchen. Using the space under the cupboards instead of taking up precious wall area, it frees up more space to maximize your kitchen work area Connecting directly to the central heating system and fitting tidily in the plinth space under a unit or cupboard, heat is blown through a heat exchanger into the room by a low noise 2 speed fan. The fan convector automatically switches on and off with the central heating system and because it runs off the central heating system, it is much cheaper to run than electric only heaters. Also there are no worries about the build-up of dust that causes overheating in electric heaters, and the constant cleaning they require. How it works The Bidex plinth heater is easy to install and use. The unit switches itself on and off automatically when your central heating system comes on and switches off. Inside the unit is a temperature switch which when the central heating comes on and the hot water starts to circulate round the pipes, it senses the hot water and switches the fan on automatically. When the central heating is switched off or the house thermostat switches off the heating, the water in the pipes cools down and so the fan switches off. There is no need to switch this unit on and off manually. If you need more heat all you do is switch the fan to boost which will push more hot air into the room. There is also a manual override switch which allows you to switch the fan off if you do not require it Did you know Fan heaters are up to 24% more efficient than standard radiators Technical Details Heat output: Normal 896 Watt (3057BTU); Boost 1166 Watt (3979 BTU).

If you have a central heating boiler be it a standard one with a hot water cylinder or the more modern combie boiler where the hot water is heated directly when the hot tap is turned on and your radiators are also powered from the same boiler then you can fit this kitchen heater. If your boiler/on demand heater does not power your central heating radiators and only heats your hot water then you cannot. The ones I have fitted have been replacements for kitchen radiators and are very effective even if the fan is switched off. Sorry if this has dragged on but hope it answers your question? see less
- Can this be used with a separate thermostat as the kitchen can get pretty warm at times.yes you can use a separate room thermostat. just fit it in the power supply to the plinth heater socket.
