Braemar Ecostar Gas Wall Furnaces

At least with our old unit we could see the flame ignite or not when you pressed the button and as per others it is noisy.
We just purchased a new vehicle and it starts with the pressing of a button (one press and it turns on). This thing takes numerous goes and then sometimes a second person to take over before it can get going.
Very disappointed that in this day and age that such a clunky starting mechanism still exists makes it feel like a very cheap unit.
A for noise level I agree we have had to turn our TV up to be able to hear it over th...

DHS installed this heater about 9 months ago, I was having to restart the heater every half an hour to an hour and it was driving me nuts and yes it is loud, I like my tv volume on 15 when I watch it, with the heater on we need it on 30 just to hear it over the heater. I now use a $20 heater from Kmart, quieter and I don't have to keep restarting it...

out of the box gremlin nest do not buy get only non powered thermostat model it heats up the room but takes forever to start squeaks and buzzes very loud

I have the WF25N heater and it heats well. My concern is sometimes (not always) I can hear the sound of water dripping inside the heater. Is this normal. I was told it had some kind of carbon monoxide safety feature, and I was wondering if it had something to do with that. The heater is about a year old.

I have a rabbit-warren kind of house (not open plan) and with the rear register this heats the whole house. I am waiting for Seeley to tell me the optimum operating temperature range, but I have it on '1' overnight and 2 or 3 during the day. I haven't had a gas bill yet, but am using no other heating..

Room is not warm enough without having the heater running flat out. Noisy. Metal makes clicking noise when thermostat turns on/off. Our 24 year old wall furnace did a much better job. Very disappointed as Braemar has such a good name. Price included installation.

Why install a known faulty heater DHHS??
Less than a year old with probably only two weeks actual running as installed just after winter last year and when we turned on for the cold snap it is the 3 red lights and one green light. Numerous calls and plumber attendance and here we are with no heating and a piece of crap. Supposedly a faulty gas valve (which is readily purchased ) but we are still waiting 4 weeks later.
Would not recommend anyone to purchase this model as it has a history of similar problems - reviews written since 2018- same issue so that says a lot about Braemer rectifying known issues and DHHS purchasing substandard essential items.

Our new Breamer wall heater was installed 2 years ago after the one before nearly killed us because of emitting carbon dioxide. We live in DHHS and now this new Breamer just stopped working. My husband and I have medical issues and we need heating. Three times someone came and now been told that it needs a negative switch but still waiting. Really upsetting and Breamer should not have sold defective heaters to the housing department. Really upset because we are goin to freeze.

Got replaced an 80's Braemar mechanical thermostat wall furnace with this squeal noise and clunk noise piece of rubbish makes my ears ring and makes the walls hum in bass.
Has a gas rating of 4+ but doesn't say about the full on electrical computer system built in power consumption. Its a rich idiots toy. Buy a mechanical thermostat there's no real benefit of having a rocket science wall furnace unless you want hearing damage and more electrical usage.. Ex neighbours smashed theirs on their way out. Well i still have an open fireplace so that'l...

This heater has recently been installed in the home I rent. If I could I would trade this unit for my old Vulcan any day. Like many other reviews have stated, this heater is loud and clunky. At setting 4 and above the fan is overwhelmingly loud and uncomfortable in the space, especially when it kicks in to the higher speed. There is no way to control this since turning the dial down a little to 3 or below basically makes the heater cut out altogether.
Along with the absence of directional fins for air flow this has to be one of the most user UN-friendly appliances I have ever come across. With an energy rating of 2.2 I wonder how any manufacturer would be proud of this product. Avoid if you can.

It’s works for a while then shuts off, three red and one green . It’s constantly shutting off and on. I’m hoping to get our money back! Last night it was constant.

a noisy relay to control ignition and fans instead of a silent FET or IGBT common place in most white goods. fan speed via a resistor. using the above is almost a noise free start and with the correct part selection will be far far more reliable often at a lesser cost.Hint : surface mount IGBT's rated at 600 volts at 8 amps are more cost effective AND fully silent. Using a simple cheap opto coupler and a minor firmware change smoother start of the blower can be achieved. I did see a large fixed capacitor if its purpose is a starter that might ...

We loved our Vulcan heater which served us well for 25 years. But this Braemar piece of garbage didn't last us four! I have to give it credit though, it's definitely energy efficient - to the point that it would heat for five lukewarm minutes before shutting down. I wish I'd read these reviews before I sunk my money into that black hole. Vote with your wallet - never buy a Braemar product!

I had this heater installed in my house by dhs in July 2022 one thing I noticed its always turning off and on and loud when running.
Just recently it started not working it tries to light and shuts off.
For almost 2 weeks and all they can do is give a fan heater which I cant afford to run.

I can’t thank David Mitchell from Braemar enough for helping my 85 years old mother out. He went way beyond after a non braemer installer had given her grief. Davids team not only checked everything but followed up the following morning to make sure she was ok and happy with the way the heater was working and all out of the goodness of their hearts. ... thank you very much.
