Ecostrad ceramic rad not working

No but i still have it.

Did you buy from radiators direct?

How long did they last?

bought from Go Home Direct Trading. I've thrown one away. Seems such a waste! Need to buy another too. We had them for three years but in a holiday let thats not high usage at all. Bought three at the same time. two failed within weeks of each other. Praying the third doesnt go ....l

I see. Mine was a holiday let but after the first season I switched it to normal rental. Holiday let’s we’re just not worth the extra work.

I won’t be using this type of electric heater again though. This lasted 10mths. The other 2 are still ok. I’m preparing to have to replace them every few yrs or so. Switching to gas is a big job so o I won’t be doing that

I’ve checked your supplier and it’s the same group as radiators direct. Their head office is in knaresborough, north Yorks.

The hefty price tag may mean electronic switching, or it could mean some one wants a huge profit.

I would suggest the latter. The level of advertising needed to sell them, confirms that they are a dodgy item, requiring a hard sell.
