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...

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.
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.

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 ...
Read morehave a baring on why you might not have elected to move to this technology. just as simple to have a multi would induction motor with three FETS or IGBTs and why no insulation over a motor winding do you really want to trade winding heat in favour of corrosion and possibly an open circuit motor. I makes me wonder as a tenant, if one should trust your firmware in the key roles of protection for over temperature and carbon monoxide sensing ! especially when a look at the above factors admittedly I only see your retail price but even so in 2020 the build is total risk at this price and I DO agree that with the cost of gas to the consumer there is a high emphasis on efficiency and it can be hard to meet the above in that context. I opten wonder if it might fare better as a fan forced solely hydronically fan forced arrangement having no carbon monoxide problems to content with only a small heat exchanger with temperature sensing,Purchased in August 2020 for $1,500.
The furnace was purchased a little over two years ago. We arranged for the first "every two years" service/inspection in May and they detected a significant (7-10ppm) carbon monoxide reading over two different days with two different sensors and told us not to use the heater until repaired.
Braemar asked us to have a second group have a look (at our cost) and if there was an issue then we'd pay again for labour but they'd consider sending the part. So: service #1 + service #2 + labour to fix.
Since it'll cost approximately as much in labour as the furnace originally cost, we're removing it. I wouldn't recommend Braemar furnaces.

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.

I have recently upgraded my homes heating, to the braemar wall heater it has been quite different to my old rattling valcon heater it has a fan forced flu so risk of carbon dioxide in the home is all extracted via the roof vent, the heater it went on perfectly to the existing spot with out any alteration to my walls.
The system has a multi level heat button and has automatic thermostat, also a child lock, good for little ones who love to push buttons.
I have had the heater for approximately 3 months on 24/7 and my gas bill was so much lower tha...

Had this heater installed to have a checkup done out of the blue about a month or two later from the installation company who put a sticker on it basically telling you you couldnt have any exhaust fans on in the house and had to have a window open in the room. As well as needing to install a carbon monoxide alarm in the room as our model had been found to have leaks.
Our heater struggles to heat a very small 3 bedroom house, and its pilot goes out consistently with no apparent reason.
As it is our heater is nearly impossible to light (was easy ...

I read some reviews online which are both negative and positive but I decided to take a punt on this anyway. I've been running it for the last 6 weeks and honestly it is a very warm heater that heats up both my living area and kitchen in around 10 minutes. It needs to be put on setting 4 (out of 7) in order to prevent the thermostat from cutting the heater in and out. 3 and below seems to be just too low a setting for it to stay on. One drawback is like others have said, yes it is a little loud when the boost kicks in but it doesn't stay on too long and isn't overly annoyingly loud but you know it's on. Overall a decent enough heater for the price ($1200) that does it's job.
