Residential applications

Kitchen appliances

Every kitchen appliance heats something different: air in an oven, water in a dishwasher or coffee machine, glass-ceramic in a hob, frost on a refrigerator evaporator. We shape the element, the sheath and the power density to that medium.

• Oven grill, fan and bottom elements
• Radiant cooktop heaters for glass-ceramic hobs
• Dishwasher flow-through and pump heaters
• Espresso boilers, thermoblocks and kettle bases
• Defrost heaters for refrigerators and ice makers

Laundry

Washing machines heat water in the drum sump, where scale and dry firing are the risks. Dryers heat moving air, where airflow and thermal protection decide the design.

• Washing machine heaters with NTC and thermal fuse
• Open-coil and finned dryer heaters
• Heat pump dryer auxiliary heaters
• Coated sheaths for hard-water markets

Bathroom & water heating

Water heating is the largest residential use. Storage and instantaneous water heaters, electric towel warmers and smart toilet seats each need a different balance of power, size and corrosion resistance.

• Flanged and screw-plug immersion heaters
• Copper, stainless and Incoloy sheaths
• Instantaneous heaters for smart toilets and bidets
• Towel warmer cartridges and thermostats

HVAC & heat pumps

As Europe moves to heat pumps, electric backup heaters cover defrost cycles and peak demand. Air conditioners and fan heaters need compact, safe elements in the airstream.

• Inline backup heaters for air-to-water heat pumps
• PTC and finned air heaters for AC units
• Fan heater and convector elements

Small appliances

Small appliances need heat in a small space: a floor washer that cleans with hot water, a steam iron soleplate, a sous-vide stick, a rice cooker plate.

• Floor washer and wet-dry vacuum heaters
• Iron soleplates and steam generators
• Sous-vide, rice cooker and space heater elements
