Thank you to Dux after product Failed

published

New home was built in 2014, with this system installed. Airoheat pump worked fine until tank sensor stopped working on just over 5 years usage and was unrepairable. We were told a new system was our only option, and quoted around $3800. As the unit had not been used for more than 6months due to us travelling, this was an unacceptable outcome. We applied under Duxs fair go policy to replace the unit. Thank you to Dux for providing a new Airoheat Pump and standing by your product. We are very happy with the outcome and would recommend your prompt after sales service. In our experience Dux listened and acted immediately on their customers behalf.

My neighbor has the same one installed a few years ago, recently it makes heavy noises day and night, my bedroom window is just next to it. I couldn't sleep when it runs.
I don't recommend DUX products.

10 years and going strong.......

published

Installed in 2009, hasn't missed a beat. The only negative is the fan on top rust away (l've replaced it once and rust-proofed the 2nd) but l'm right on the beach. Cheap to run and quiet enough that l don't notice it. Must admit l'm surprised as l read the mostly bad reviews after l had it installed........

There is no need to resolve this as the unit has been removed from the house and has been replaced with a different brand unit.

What an absolute lemon

Just under 2 years old and system died caused by a system defrost which leaked into the main control unit. Complete design fault but yet no warranty. What a joke

Don’t buy

published

Purchased this heat pump hot water system 2011 with our new home. No hot water under high demand. In 2014 the electronics failed then in 2016 the tank failed after rusting. New system fitted under warranty but had to pay labor. It failed now 6/2019 and now refused warranty even though the tank has 10 year warranty. Not acceptable from an Australian co. I even asked for 1/2 and 1/2 but no. Don’t buy.

Purchased in April 2021.

Great start.

published

We have had the Dux Airoheat for at least 8 months now and have no problems at all with the system. There has been no water leakage at all, it is quite to run, we have at times 8 members of the family in the household for extended periods of time and keeps up with plenty of hot water for all jobs necessary. I’m glad we made the decision to purchase the Dux Airoheat.

Purchased in August 2021 at Bunnings Warehouse for $2,000.00.

Do not buy

published

We have endured 2 of these pathetic heaters. First one started giving us rust after 4yrs then total tank failure at 5.5yrs.

Dux did replace under warranty and this second unit has lasted 2.5yrs.

I am currently dismantling this one to see what the hell is going on inside these tanks.

I am amazed that people don't research such an expensive item before purchasing!

Dux you should remove this item from the shelves!

Please watch the YouTube video and share as much as you can and we may save some poor soul from going through the same problem.

Purchased in February 2021 for $3,000.00.

Have to replace every 5 year!

published

I have had 4 Dux units since 2005. The common problem was water leaks from the top. Always breaks down just after warrantee has expired a a few months! My third one leaked just after 3 years and was replaced by a new one which started to leak after 4 years. Gave them a call today but they said that it is not covered under warranty cos they included the 3 years from the previous one. So don't buy Dux, they don't last long!!!!!

Since writing this review Dux have come through for us exceptionally! They have replaced our system with a top of the line electric one. Thank you Dux for standing by your customer. I would like to give Dux a 10 out of 10 for their service.


Nothing but trouble in the beginning and bigger trouble in the end! one dead unit and 5 years old! A

published

Awesome to start with and then 2 visits from appliance person; finally called plumber to have another brand installed and he said "Stay away from heat pump!"
I have another brand which is so far so good after almost 5 years - plumber did not know about that brand which is probably a good indicator.

Just waiting for my other dux heat pumps to implode at my other rental properties - very bad technology which did not work as planned! Dux should be ashamed of themselves and assisted the people who purchased these units which turned out or (will turn out ) to be DUDS!

After two failures through leaking tanks - never again will we buy a Dux product

published

Everyone deserves a second chance but when the same thing happens again and the company doesn't back it's product, it is time to take action. I am interested in a class action. I stripped down the replacement unit and it appears to me that the leak has been present for a long time. It did not become apparent externally as Dux have gone to great pains to seal around the cylinder which stops the leak showing for months or maybe even years. I am going to get a professional engineer's opinion.

I responded to this post and received a telephone call with an offer. Unfortunately I have lost all confidence in the Dux product and am awaiting a satisfactory resolution which I believe for both parties would be much better than legal action.

How can I replace the anodes of my airoheat? I removed the top cover and the rubber plug on the bottom but I couldn't find any of them?

Hi Daniel, I have no idea, I replaced my Dux Airoheat a few months ago. It failed to heat water, it was less thon 3 years old and had no reply from Dux after I supplied all the information they required, I never heard a answer from them, I sure cannot recommend this brand of water heater. Regards Peter.

Daniel C.
Daniel C.

Such a shame. Yes, too many bad experiences with this model. My heat system just came with the house and still is working so I decided to change the anode road to try to extent its life, but it has been impossible to find them. Not as simple as it is in other models.

Dux
Dux C.Dux

Hi Daniel,

Replacement of anodes can only be done by a suitably licensed tradesperson.

Can you please send through the specific details can you please email through your full name, ieatwords username, best contact number, address where the unit is installed, model number and serial number to [email protected] so we can call you to suggest a plumber or one of our Service Agents who are familiar with the Airoheat do the service.

Regards,

The Dux Team

I have water leaking from around the electrical cover at the base of the unit, if i lift the top surrounding the fan there is water around that area as well. Any thoughts on where the leak may be coming from and how to repair.

Thanks

I am not a plumber but it should have been installed with a small fall so condensation could not sit inside cover on the other hand it may have a blocked outlet try blowing some air up it
