Best Electric & Hydronic Kickspace Heaters

Those who are looking for an extra-neat toe kick heater that would be easy to install under cabinets in kitchens, bathrooms, stairwells, and other rooms should definitely consider the Marley Qmark QTS1504T model. It's currently one of the most compact toe space heaters on the market that can fit into the smallest kick spaces. Actually, it needs just 1/4" clearance to the floor, 12" to the adjacent wall, and 36" to the ceiling. Therefore, you can install it right into a ladder riser or a toe space in any room you need.

Yet, despite its modest size, this toe kick heater packs a big punch. It's designed with a thermostat option and unique Over Temperature Protection technology. Owing to the built-in single-pole thermostat, you'll be able to easily set the unit to your desired temperature while having total peace of mind knowing that the unit will never become too hot thanks to Dual overheat protection. The thermostat is an on/off rheostat dial on the front of the unit, which will work fine provided that you're running power straight to the heater. Alternatively, you can use this unit with an existing wall thermostat - just follow the included wiring instructions.

Another advantage of this model is the special Tangential Blower which is far less noisy than ordinary fans. Due to it, you'll barely hear the heater working, which makes this unit an awesome option for rooms where you want to enjoy total silence (a bedroom, for example).

The Cadet company has been producing smart heating devices for more than 50 years and has already made a name for themselves. The brand's purpose is to deliver to the end customer only high-quality quality and affordable heaters, which is why all Cadet heaters are made of top-grade commercial materials, are simple in terms of maintenance, as well as durable in use. This one is no exception.

The UC101W Perfectoe is a high-quality electric toe kick heater, which can be an ideal pick for those who value sleek design and decent performance. In the front part of this heater, there is a stylish grill that can fit any interior and even complement the furniture in a room. What is notable, there are no sharp edges on the heater, so you won't accidentally injure yourself when installing or using it.

The Broan 114 electric wall is a relatively cheap but decent-quality appliance for customers who aren't ready to dish out too much money for a small heater. This kick space heater may perfectly fit into any small room where you usually don't spend much time but it still needs to be warmed up. For example, it can be your closet, mudroom, pantry room, lumber room, basement, or all of them.

The unit has a neat low-profile design and can be easily tucked under cabinet kickspaces, stairways, or any other places where space is an issue. It will provide floor-level heat, being completely out of your way.

If you want to have an extra heat source in your kitchen, bathroom, or any other area up to 150 square feet, the King KT1215-MW-W KT-MW is worth your closer inspection. Owing to the 1500-watt output, this is a reasonably powerful heater that can keep your feet warm.

First off, we would like to note that the unit has a narrow profile and is only 3.5-inch tall, 8-inch deep, and 14.25-inch wide (the front cover is 3.5" x 16.315"). With such a low profile, the King heater conveniently fits under kitchen or bathroom cabinets, providing warm air all around. Also, it can be installed into the soffit area above the cabinets or into stair risers. The grill extends long enough from the sides to cover the mounting tabs.

For even more flexible installation, this toe kick heater is available with multiple wattage options - you can choose either a 120-volt model or a 240-volt model to suit your specific room’s heating requirements. Yet, take note that both options have no built-in thermostat but only an in-built thermostat part. Therefore, to maximize room comfort and energy-saving efficiency, you can wire the heater into an existing line voltage thermostat or complete it with a separate King Electric line-voltage thermostat offered by the same manufacturer.

TPI Corporation is another trustworthy manufacturer of electric heat equipment, ventilation products, and thermostatic controls. For over 70 years, it has been known as America's Comfort Conditioning Company but now it's a privately-held organization with a rich heritage that provides innovative products under such big brand names as Markel, Fostoria, Raywall, TPI Industrial, TPI Commercial, HotPod, and Columbus Electric. The company never cuts corners so if you're after something functional and durable, you may like the TPI TSH20J Series TSH kick space heater.

The main thing that sets it above the competition is its incredible 200-watt output, making it an ideal choice for individuals that need to heat up larger spaces. Whereas the majority of other toe kick heaters are suitable for 100-150 square feet rooms only, this one is capable of heating up spaces up to 200 square feet effectively. Fitted with a finned steel heating element, it distributes heat evenly and swiftly.

With such a powerful heat output, the unit is obviously not the quietest out there but it's still not that loud compared to other 2000-watt toe heaters. The thing is, it comes with a centrifugal blower (squirrel cage fan), which is untypical for heavy-duty heaters like this. That's why it moves a good amount of air while staying relatively quiet. Actually, it's quieter than a typical bathroom vent fan but is still loud enough to know when it’s on. It produces something like white noise but you won't even need to turn the TV up when it comes on.
