Myson Plinth Heaters

Yes, in many kitchens a plinth heater can replace a bulky wall radiator and free up valuable wall space, especially in smaller rooms. Check the heat output you need first, the range offered here runs from about 1kW up to nearly 3kW, so a compact kitchen will often be fine with a 1–1.5kW unit, while a larger or open-plan kitchen may need a higher-output 2.6–3kW option. If your space is unusually large or poorly insulated, you might want to supplement with another heat source.

Measure the internal width and depth of your plinth space and match it to the available sizes: there are models around 500mm, 600mm and 800mm wide, and depths of either about 203mm or 309mm. If your plinth cavity is shallow, the 203mm depth model will fit more easily; deeper cavities can take the 309mm units which often have larger heat exchangers. a standard run of base units with a 500mm gap suits a 500mm model, giving neat integration beneath a single cabinet.

Hydronic plinth heaters use your central heating's hot water and integrate with your system, so they're a good match if you already have a boiler and want consistent heating with the rest of the house. The single electric model operates independently, offering quicker heat response and no plumbing work, which is handy for an extension or if you want zoned control. Hydronic units are typically quieter in operation and suit whole-house control, while the electric 500E Eco is ideal where you need a standalone, rapid-warm solution.

Yes, the models come with a grille designed to sit flush beneath your units, so the heater blends into the plinth area rather than standing out like a radiator. Picking the correct width (500, 600 or 800mm) ensures it matches the run of your cabinets, and the grille finish keeps the look tidy. This gives you the practical benefit of hidden heating while keeping a streamlined kitchen aesthetic.

Most models in this range use simple manual controls (three units), which give straightforward on/off and basic adjustment, while one model offers a different, more advanced control option. With hydronic units you will often regulate temperature through your central heating system, whereas the electric model can provide more immediate, standalone control at the appliance. If you want fine, independent room control, the electric option or pairing with a separate thermostat will give the tightest regulation.
