Hi everyone
I have one large double panel double convector radiator which i'm going to utilise in my new kitchen as I can fit a slim wall unit above it and then TV above that. It's the right size to heat the room, but I like a room to warm up quickly and i'm thinking to either use some radiator fans below it to help circulate the warm air a bit better (and quicker), or use a hydronic plinth radiator elsewhere to provide additional output and more circulation.
The downside to the plinth heaters for me is the many reviews that say they are noisy (or get noisy with age) and blowing dust around. Also by their very nature, they are bound to be less reliable than a normal rad. The radiator fans look like a much easier and low maintenance solution - even if the reliability is similar, they are easier to change. I'm looking at something like the speedcomfort fans. Bit pricey for what they are, I guess there must be cheaper ones about.
Anyone used either of these? Would appreciate your thoughts and reviews!
My ceilings are 3.1m hence circulation is probably quite important for me...
Many thanks
