Hi John, the fan is automatic. When you have one bar on its goes on low. Two and three bars it goes on high. Couple of thoughts are your vents clean (mine get lots of dust in them - from my two dogs) I clean mine at least once a week and the other thought is have you got the electricity turn on that runs the fans (several times I have had my switch turned off by thoughtful household trying to save electricity). Yours might be hard wired so should not be any issue, mine attaches to a wall socket. Other than that I would suggest you contact Rinnai for help. Jen

The unit was cleaned by a contractor, then cut out all the time. Before this the heat did not throw out so had to stand on heater even on three. New fan installed recently, still have to stand on heater to get heat as fan on 1,2,3 is still just faint. now it cuts out the same as it did with the old fan. damn useless fans this brand.

What is the energy rating please. Is it economical to run in a very cold climate like Ballarat

It only has 2 stars but i havnt noticed any change in my gas account since changing my vulcan. Heats the house adequately..if you block off draughts, pull curtains. I usuall run it one to take the chill off and on three if its really cold..Adelaide. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the question Anne, the Spectrum heater has an energy rating of 2.1 stars. The economy of the heater will depend on a number of factors, including the size of the room being heated, insulation etc. Information for the heater can be found here"

We also have a heater selector on the Rinnai Australia website where you can enter details of the area to be heated and the best heater will be recommended,
