Reliability Issues – Before the Escea was the Rinnai. Unfortunately the Rinnai did not fit the the look of the new renovations so the modern look of the Escea took its place. Unfortunate, because the Rinnai was faultless from the day installed to the day it was removed. The same cannot be said for the Escea. Too many technicians have been to our house for this… Read more

unit. When it works, its great. However you know you have a problem when you have to cross your fingers when starting up the heater for the first time in the cold season!!

This escea heater is the worst heater we have ever owned!!!!! Previously had Rinnai & never had any issues. Don't do it! – We have Escea Specialists out EVERY winter, $500-1000 each visit. Fires up, stops 2 mins later. Last winter replaced control panel inside $$$$ turn it on last week, surprise, DOESN'T GO!! Show details

Fabulous, effective, efficient and looks good. Internet connection is the icing on the cake! – Fire heats the room very very well. Remote is easy to use. Internet connectivity allows for remote monitoring of room temperature and for turning on when on the way home. Show details ·  1

Biggest piece of rubbish ever – Well, it was great for 5 years. Then the flue motor pooped its pants $1500. Now the bucket of bolts takes 10 to 20 attempts to ignite.With a 1 minute 'start up cycle" , that takes a while. As I said, first 5 years no problem. Push the button and hey presto, heater ignites and warms room. Awesome.Now.... you sit there freezing while it decides to fire up or not ...Looks like another $1000+ call out. DO NOT BUY THIS HEATER Show details

Worst after sale service! Faulty product always broken – After four years fireplace broken twice spent $1500 so far. Still shows error message I called Ecsea in New Zealand they said the product is out of warranty and I must get help from the plumbing company. if you want to buy a fireplace , go to fireplace showroom and buy a european model.  Show details

Escea DL1100 – Sadly although I love this heater we have now spent over $3000 in replacing each component as they go wrong. It is a nightmare to replace, the whole thing has to be removed sometimes. Such a shame that teh reliability does not match that of the Rinnai series. Ours is only just 6 years old and this sequence of breakdowns has been going on for nearly two years now  Show details

No problems - fantastic heater – I replaced a Canon Fitzroy that never worked in 3 years with the Escea DL850 and have had no complaints whatsoever. We have a tricky flue run that is around 8m vertically (double storey house) that goes through a couple of brick walls. The Escea is obviously designed much better than my previous heater, the exhaust flue is a much larger diameter… Read more

than my previous heater, and the flue motor is located near the roof vent rather than at the heater. There is also a condensate trap in the ceiling that my previous heater didn't have. These heaters are designed (and possibly manufactured) in NZ and they do the job. They are more expensive than other systems but after having no heating for 3 years with my previous system I have no hesitation at all in recommending the Esea heaters. It is well and truly worth the money and looks really good in our house.

classy and quality – We spent the extra for the Escea, and we have not regretted it. Its well made and looks great. It is networkable and has an app that enables you to control externally. we found with our gyprock walls, the fan boost must always be on, otherwise the surrounding gyprock wall gets too hot. this increases the noise level, but its not too obtrusive. … Read more ·  1

There is lots of cheaper rubbish on the market. Spend the extra! looks great, well made fan boost, network can drop out, needs to be reset every so often
