repaired 2 times within 3 weeks after installation

published

A brand new Braemar TQ420N installed on 18 April 2022, it stopped working the next morning (19 April 2022), had to call Seeley to repair.

On 7 May 2022, the heater stopped working again (less than 3 weeks after installation).

Please see other reviews here and think twice.

Honestly, I'm not happy

published

This unit is expensive to run and noisy. I am generally not impressed. It is inefficient, only heats the rooms closest to the roof unit, rattles and complains every single time it starts up. As soon as I can I will be replacing it with a Brivis system. Not Happy.

Faulty software replaced.

published

Finallly after so many error messages due to faulty software, a technician was sent out to install new panel. Ask questions about the software if purchasing this unit. As under warranty it could be fixed and It is now working well. What a difference from a previously unreliable unit with connectivity problems to one that works efficiently providing a warm home almost immediately.

Questions & Answers

Ecostar TQ420

The date on our Seeley Magictouch controller keeps reverting to the year 2000 (should be 2020) and the heat goes off on a weekend because it is using weekday settings. Resetting the date doesn’t seem to “stick”. We changed the batteries but the problem still occurs.

Hi, we have had our Seeley MagicTouch unit installed last week and are encountering the same problem. Did you manage to find a solution?

David

Not a solution, but a work around. We changed the year to 2009. It so happens that the dates and the days of the week are the same. It clearly is a software bug. We also tried changing the year to 2026 and it reverted to 2006.

what is best fan speed to run this heater for a 4 bedroom average house with 10 outlets
I had been advised to run the fan at speed 10
not confident that this is good advice

I was told 10 because puts pressure on the fan and can cause problems. Minimum I was advised was 8. Hope this helps
