ᐅ Pantry: Is a heating loop useful with a mechanical ventilation system?

Hello everyone,

we plan to install a heating cable along the wall in our pantry. I understand that in the past, this was useful to prevent moist air from the kitchen from condensing on the cooler pantry wall.

However, we have a mechanical ventilation system with exhaust air in the pantry – does the heating cable still make sense in this case, or can I do without it?

heating loop = something fancy and expensive, preferably electric?
or:
heating loop = the underfloor heating is extended to include another room?

if the latter: go for it. Every additional meter of underfloor heating helps to lower the flow temperature and thus saves energy.

You don’t heat a pantry, do you??

You mean just because I turn the thermostat to "0," the room is noticeably colder than the other rooms in the house? That’s not the case. Generally, it isn’t. And especially not here.
