Why install a gas space heater?

If you do not require whole-of-home heating, the Braemar WF2000 is probably a better option than the Braemar Ecostar ducted system.

This powerful yet elegant space heater is ideal for one or two rooms up to 110 sqm.  Like all gas heating systems, the WF2000 is an efficient form of heating, producing far less greenhouse gases than electricity or inefficient solid fuel heaters.

The Braemar Ecostar ducted system is preferable if you want to heat the entire house.

How does a gas space heater work?

Air is drawn into the top of the Braemar WF2000, warmed inside the unit and discharged through the bottom louvres.

A three-speed fan allows users to regulate the flow of the warm air, which is gently circulated throughout the room.

What size room can be heated?

The Braemar WF2000 is produced in two models, which are both capable of heating large rooms.  The 30MJ model is ideal for most domestic applications and can heat up to 90 sqm, while the 40MJ model is designed for large family rooms of up to 110 sqm.

An optional rear vent kit means an adjoining room can also be heated, which effectively gives you two heaters for little more than the price of one.

How does the WF2000 compare to other space heating systems?

Natural gas heating is a far more economical and environmentally friendly form of heating compared to electric or solid fuel heaters.

Solid fuel heaters generate more greenhouse gas emissions and are messy to clean, while electric heaters or reverse cycle systems produce a drying effect in the air that irritates the eyes, skin, nose and throat.

The WF2000 is low maintenance, easy to clean and has a highly efficient heat exchanger, which maximises heat output and doesn’t dry the air.

Where should the Braemar WF2000 be installed?

The large output of the Braemar WF2000 makes it ideal for heating common living areas such as a kitchen/dining room or a family room.

The optional rear vent kit on the WF2000 also means up to 60 per cent of the heat can be directed into an adjoining room.

Is the Braemar WF2000 suitable for people with allergies?

Yes, the Braemar WF2000 is ideally suited for people with allergies*.  Not only is natural gas a clean burning fuel, but also all flue emissions from the Braemar WF2000 are safely expelled from the home.

Furthermore, unlike some forms of heating, gas systems do not dry out the air, which can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, nose and throat.

What form of heating is the most environmentally friendly?

The threat to our planet from greenhouse gas emissions has made the need for efficient and sustainable home heating more urgent.

Research commissioned by the Australian Gas Association in 2000* reported that in the residential sectors gas is a clear winner in limiting greenhouse gas emissions.

For example, the study found that emissions from natural gas ducted space heaters are one-third of those produced by heaters powered by black coal generated electricity.

By installing a Braemar WF2000 ducted gas system you’ll do more than just save on running costs – you’ll be contributing towards a healthier planet.

Is Braemar WF2000 safe for children?

There are no exposed hot surfaces or naked flames inside the house for little fingers to touch.  Also there are no fume emissions inside the home and no power cords or switches.

The control panel is discreetly located behind a hinged panel at a height that is well out of reach of curious toddlers.
