I assume that you have decided that you do really need a seperate
thermostat for the kitchen?

I fitted a kickspace heater in the last kitchen I did and it had an
inbuilt thermostat which turned the fan on when hot water was flowing.
This worked fine with a master thermostat in the hall and individual
thermostats on the radiators elsewhere.

Hi Dave

My understanding of the built in stat is that whenever heat is being
called for anywhere else on the live heating circuit (in my case the
downstairs is on a separate zone), then the kitchen kick space heater will
run - as the flow temperature available will be sensed as higher than 43
degrees c. If there is cooking or laundry activity in the kitchen, then
the kick space may not be required/desirable even though other parts of
the ground floor are calling for heat.

I am pretty sure that there is still the option to turn the kickspace heater
off with the switches using the switches on the front of them when the
heating is on. You certainly can with my parents heater.

If you do install a thermostat then it is just a case of running a cable
(usually 3 core and earth) from the fused spur to the stat and the switched
live from the stat is then used as the live for the heater and connected
with a piece of strip connector behind the fused spur.

Personally I think that installing a room stat is a good idea. Who needs to
heat a kitchen on a winters night if you are sat in the lounge and you can
do away with all that bending down to turn them on and off.
