Dimmers get warm?

We're almost at the end of our kitchen/pantry remodel. It's incredible how nice it looks, with layers of light.

I reminded them about light dimming being part of the remodel contract, and was told that dimmers generate heat. Not enough to be a fire hazard apparently. Our DR Lutron dimmer doesn't seem warm at all.

The new kitchen has a three switch control box per their design: one controls the LV xenon in-cabinets, one switch the overhead recessed LED lighting and the last the LED under cabinet lighting.

Do you see a problem here with three dimmers? Like most, dimming and mood go along and I'd like to have these circuits on Lutron or Levitron dimmers.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
