Gas and electric wall heaters are one of the most efficient and effective ways to heat your home. Their proper maintenance becomes vital during the winter season. Wall heaters allow owners to heat only the room they’re using. Most heaters are able to heat a small-to-medium-sized room, that’s why customers of the one-bedroom apartment use just one or two wall heaters, and perhaps a baseboard heater in the bathroom. Broan wall heaters are very dependable and popular among apartment owners. Unluckily, they have the tendency to break after some years of active usage. If your heater isn't working at all, check for a tripped breaker or blown fuse. Reset the breaker or replace the blown fuse, if necessary. If the problem isn’t with the breaker box, examine the unit’s wiring for loose connections. You’ll need to shut off the power to the heater and remove it from the wall in order to check the wiring connections. Remove the heater control knob, thermostat knob and faceplate to check for loose connections in these mechanisms. Tighten any loose wires. Make sure the thermostat is set to the correct setting and that there’s plenty of clearance for airflow around the unit. If you still can’t get the heater working again, it probably needs a new heating element. Because repairing a wall-mounted electric heater involves your home's electrical system, call a licensed electrician if you feel uncomfortable with any aspect of electrical work, especially with changing circuit breakers. As with any home heating problems, it’s important to know your own DIY limits as a homeowner. It can actually make the problem worse if you attempt to fix your heater with the wrong tools!
