EconoHeat Heaters Fire
Hi there,
We have an Econoheat wall mounted heater have a slow burn at the switch part that we thankfully managed to catch just before it caught fire.
To be honest, we thought it was fire smell from outside as it was a cold night and all the chimney smoke is pretty strong.
The next morning, it was really strong and it still took us ages to identify where the smell was coming from.
Thankfully we found it - it was the wall-mounted heater. It was at the switch port where the timer and thermostat is. I see a number of those panel wall heaters are being recalled. I have not found if the EconoHeat heaters are having problems but thought I should let people know. Now might be a good time if a Reporter wants to investigate and try to warn people!
Does anyone know who to report this to?
Thanks.
