Have a small 650 sq. ft. northern Michigan cottage. Remodelling the kitchen which leaves no room for electric baseboard heaters in the area as the kitchen cabinets are a "U" shaped configuration.
Have looked into electrical wire type radiant heat and understand that although they warm the floor and your feet, they offer poor warming of the air above the floor.
Does the water-filled version, e.g. Pex Tubing offer a more effective way of warming the air above the floor, and could or should they be "blown out and drained" as the cabin is seasonal and not used during the winter months (I drain the water system, water heater, etc)?
Or can some sort of electrical baseboard heats be installed at floor level say in the kick panel area at the bottom of the kitchen cabinets practically?
Thanks.
