Thread: toe kick hot water heater - Family Woodworking

My parents had one installed in their kitchen. The brand name of theirs was Toester. Funny thing is that even though 1/2 the baseboard heat in the kitchen/dining room was removed during the remodel, they added so much insulation and improved windows that we end up opening windows over there when cooking in the winter to cool it off. The Toester is on its own thermostat and virtually never runs unless someone kicks it up so they can stand in front and warm their toes.

They require 120V power in addition to being plumbed. I believe they pretty much have to be on their own loop off the furnace which means plumbing in a(nother) zone controller. There were some requirements for thermostat placement so that the warm breeze doesn't blow on the thermostat and prematurely shut it down.

For the cabinet, I built it with no floor and added cleats so I could install a removable floor that's screwed in place. It happens to be under a cabinet with all drawers so you don't see the floor at all. The toekick just needed a cutout for the supplied plastic grill and its barely noticable.
