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

Product Information

As electricity generally has a higher cost per kilowatt, to run any heater with electricity usually costs more than gas. The large surface area of the heat exchanger means that high heat loads can be delivered into the room rapidly.

Would I be better off raising the set point to 55 or 60 deg to extract more out of the existing 800 unit? Radiators (be they regular rads, fancy designer ones or kick space heaters) are often temporarily removed to decorate a room. The downside is, of course, that they will run off your electricity supply, which can make them more expensive to run. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.Plinth heaters are classed as a fixed appliance and electrical connection should be via a double pole 3A fused spur with a minimum contact gap of 3mm.

Sometimes known as a ‘kickboard heater’, this space-saving solution is easy to install and delivers excellent results. These offer the best of both worlds – they connect to your central heating but if you need a boost of heat when your heating isn’t running, will run in electric-only mode. The fasica grilles are available in stainless steel, black, white and brown so there’s a colour for every kitchen, and there’s a ‘fan only’ mode to help circulate air in warmer months. The great thing is it doesn't take up any wallspace and because it has a fan, this small unit really heats the room up quickly.

Quick and easy to install, they connect directly to a standard 13-amp electrical supply and generally offer two heat modes – high and low. For warmer weather, they can often be operated in fan-only mode, helping to circulate cooler air around the room. If you’ve got a larger room to heat, the Diamond Bidex 900 is designed for rooms up to 40m³, with a heat output of up to 7087 BTU. Bought this to replace same that we'd had for 15 years, and due to new kitchen decided to have a new one. Now I have fitted another (that looks almost identical to the 1980's version) in my present house during a kitchen refit.
