A plinth heater works to effectively heat spaces without using too much energy by blowing hot air. So, are plinth heaters electric? Some of them are, and some of them feature a hybrid electric hydronic design. Hot water circulates in a hydronic plinth heater to create additional heat output. Either way, they supplement your central heating system; you just have to decide whether you want electric or hydronic power. Electric heaters are often easier to install but use more power. Hydronic heaters often use less power but take longer to create heat as the water temperature rises to emit warmth. Noise

Having different power options can give a little more control over how much energy the heater is using, which can help you keep an eye on your electricity bill.

A clever space saving solution ideal for rooms where space is at a premium, such as kitchens and hallways Hydronic plinth heaters contain within them a series of small tubes through which the hot water from your combi-boiler or heat pump flows. If you set your central heating thermostat to a specific degree, the water inside your plinth heater correspondingly heats up. Once the preset temperature threshold has been crossed, a switch activates the unit’s electric fan. The fan blows wind over the water-heated coils in a process known as convection, which then escapes through the grille to warm your kitchen.This time, the fascia features two switches instead of one. The bottom-most of these controls the fan speed: normal, boosted, and off.
