Fahrenheat PLF1504 1500W 240V Hydronic Baseboard Heater - 70 Inch Electric Wall Heater for Home & Office - Beige Finish - Energy Efficient Heating Solution for Bedrooms, Living Rooms & Basements

Bought this unit in November 2013 so I would have on hand while finishing my basement. I recently was able to get to the steps of wiring this up and do a functional check. After installing a new 20A dedicated circuit, I double checked the voltage coming out of the line thermostat I installed and it indicated 240v. I turned on my double pole thermostat, went over to the plf1504 to check for heat. Heat began to come out of the top of the unit. About 5 minutes into the test I heard a loud boom and witnessed a flash of fire coming from the opposite end of the unit that I had wired. Upon further inspection, the two leads(each 120v) that attach to the copper pipe that is filled with the liquid that warms had basically exploded off the copper tube and charred. Now I have a half burned unit with no hopes of repair. I have contacted the seller (third party through amazon) in hopes that I will be able to somehow replace unit. I cannot recommend this product at this time due to my brief but very negative experience with it. I will update this review when I have contacted the seller and the manufacturer (unit is 5 months old) to bring this matter to a close. Thank you for reading.UPDATE NOVEMBER 2014I only think it is fair that a product gets its true review after a year installed in my finished basement. After several attempts starting in January 2014, I was able to get a replacement unit shipped to my home sometime in April 2014 (the manufacturer does not get a very good review (1-star) in my opinion-took 5 to 6 phone calls and 5 to 6 emails over 4 months to finally get a replacement unit). I am happy to report that the installed units work excellent and I am very happy with the heat they are providing. They are very quiet and the thermostat really does help them regulate the heat well. I give these heaters 4 stars as I am deducting the review one star for the horrible customer service I received from the manufacturer. I would recommend this product for purchase, with the caveat that it works well and customers do not have to deal with the manufacturer for warranty replacement. Thanks again for reading the review, I hope it helps you make an informed decision.
