There are virtually no heaters in the main kitchen area, except for the kitchen table. So I called the builder of my house and he had his plumber stop by. He recommended we install a kick heater to get more heat into the main kitchen.
After waiting and waiting - they finally delivered the kick heater - which will be installed by the builder eventually.
The reason I am writing this, was because it was hard for me to find or research what I needed to have installed by just searching in the search engines. So I thought I would write something that may help other's in my situation.
The builder purchased a Twin Flow III K120 Kick Space Heater from Beacon Morris.
It is used to go under kitchen cabinets, when you have no wall space to put a baseboard heater. That was the case in our kitchen, since it is walled with kitchen cabinets. They will be cutting out a space under one of our cabinets, to install this to our hot water heater boiler. When the heat is on, via the thermostats, a fan gently blows heated air into the room.
On really really cold days, like below freezing, the kitchen doesn't heat up to the temperature set on the thermostat. This kick heater should help it reach the desired heat, and make me feel like I am not burning threw money with the heat on non-stop.
Hope it gets installed asap!

What ended up happening with your install? How does the Twin-Flo work?
I too am considering one, and lo and behold, even 2 1/2 years later, there is still very little info online about them.

I didn't personally install it, but it works well.
