Panel heater troubleshooter

-If the heater is making a creaking sound, then this is totally normal due to the expansion and contraction of the metalwork inside the heater as it warms up and cools down.

-If the heater is making another sound, then please request a service call using the form at the bottom of this page.

-If the panel heater has just been installed and is first producing heat, it is normal to notice some scent due to the materials first being used. With regular use, this smell will no longer occur and it is nothing to worry about.

-If you have owned and operated the heater for some time and are switching it off during the summer months, the heater may have drawn in dust and fluff. Please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions page for information about the cleaning and maintenance of your heater.

-If neither of these scenarios are relevant to your usage, please request a service call using the form at the bottom of this page.

-If the heater is obstructed by furniture, for example, then please move the obstruction and switch it off at the wall for 15 minutes before turning it back on. This should reset the panel heater and the fault should have cleared.

-If the problem still persists within 24 hours, you will need to request a service call using the form at the bottom of this page.

- Please ensure that you are not turning the temperature down at night as this is not the most economical and effective way to use the heater. If you are doing this, then please select the desired temperature and leave it alone, tweaking by only one degree at a time.
