Does having the heater going hinder the unit? It doesn't seem to be living up to it's cost. Can any unit counter the flames of a wall heater?

The heater and the humidifier are competing with each other. The humidifier does put a lot of moisture into the room but if the heater is drying the atmosphere more than the humidifier is moistening it, you will not feel the full benefit of the humidifier. In a small room you will have a better chance to feel the benefit of the humidifier.

I had a similar issue just the other day. It seemed the water temp wasn't moving. I unplugged it, let the heater sit (in the water) unplugged for about 20 minutes. Then plug it in again. I think the heater needs time to get acclimated to the water temp, before the filament or whatever starts cooking. Give that shot before you start slamming the heater against the wall. = )

Read all four previous posts. Every one of them contains good ideas. I too would be careful running a 2000 watt heater through a conventional wall switch without at least asking an electrician if that's something one should do. drtoom

The owner's manual shows heater can be wall mounted or put directly on the floor, though it also states heater is designed to be mounted on the wall. Mine is wall mounted and I don't recall feet being included, plus the gas line comes out of the bottom so I don't know how the on-floor would work. Perhaps you could download a copy of the manual to get a better idea. Great little heater.

Are you saying you bought this same heater and the breaker trips? Because that is what is happening to us with this new heater. My husband says he would not recommend this unit. I know the cost will be at least double, if not triple, but you really should call a professional.

I had the same problem in one of my bedrooms. So, I tapped into a line on the other side of the bedroom wall, and then ran the line to the bedroom side of the wall. No problem at all. --- Good luck with your heater. btw: even though it is ventless, I suggest you install a vent in the ceiling above the heater. Just an AC register vent in the ceiling should work fine. -- either that or sleep with a window partially open (1 inch). --- Good luck.

I too haven't had any issues. There are heat settings that you can adjust. If it doesn't heat up, you may have a defective unit.

Do not see any problem, you will have to put a heat protection at the point where you go through the wall. may need to check with building code requirements for that.

I have used this heater in my house. I have a carbon monoxide detector and I NEVER leave it on unattended. However, I would not recommend using this heater as a main heat source. IMHO....

No, unfortunately, there isn't. I think it is the only down side of this heater. Otherwise, it seems very safe. Good luck.

I don't know if it shuts off if it gets too hot....haven't had that happen. I set the built-in thermostat to my desired temperature and once it reaches it, it won't go above it. We use ours in the opposite end of the house that has the free standing fireplace and it keeps it nice and warm over there. It has a fan that keeps the warm air coming through the unit circulating into the room. Unit looks nice too...blends in as a piece of furniture!!

Be sure that the cord doesn't rest between the wall and the heater as it may get too hot (if using that plug for heater). The only other possible concern may be heat on the wiring within the wall or on the outlet itself, but I see no real hazard based on my experience with the heaters.

We keep the fryer close to the outlet. There is slack in the line. However, that was never the cause of ours and the heating issues. We had no problem with this unit for a couple of years. But this year, our issue is that it will not stay heated. But that does not happen all the time. It's hit or miss. If it's new and exchangeable, I would change it out now while it is still new. Overall, the unit has worked well for us. It's only recently that it has had sporadic heating issues.

You are running it a bit too low....try a little higher setting until it stays lit The temp control is not an exact science...there is a thermal senser ( safety device ) that extends into the flame, it will shut the gas off if it does not sense enough heat....so if you run at too low a setting the flame is not hot enough and the senser shuts off the gas...pain in the ........but it works.

the heat from the eco-heater comes through the circulated air, and if the wall-socket is too close, you may cause a fire. And I agree with Peter Millis' answer: if you use the wall socket, the cord will go right in front of the HOT heater...BTW: you can do what you want, but you will bear the consequences.

Is this a new unit? If it is, you might consider warranty repair. If it's been in service for a while, I would look at the unit while hot water is running to see if you have plenty of flame coming from the burners. I've never had problems with the water being only warm on my unit, usually too hot.

yes, there are holes to install against a wall. No it does not get too hot to burn the wall.
