What to look out for when shopping for your next heater Heaters vary quite extensively in a number of ways — price, size, efficiency and source-type to name a few — so make sure you’re getting the right model for your space to avoid overwhelming electricity or gas prices, or a cold and dreary room. Heaters can rely on gas, oil, electricity or fan-powered energy in order to heat your house or room, and each of these comes with its own perks and drawbacks. Most significantly, the initial cost as well as the cost of running these heaters will vary considerably between these different types, as will their impact on the environment. Where applicable, you should check out the energy star ratings for an indicator of this. If you’re planning on heating outdoor areas, or larger indoor spaces, you’re obviously going to need a more powerful unit and the costs will reflect this. If you’ve got a large outdoor space, it could be worth considering a portable heater that you can place near your outdoor table and chairs, and move around the patio as you please.

The Heat is on.with a Bowen SLE LO-Nox

I have a Bowen, and its a pity they are not made anymore, One of the best LPG heaters I have ever used, its on everyday on lowest possible speed and heat setting,excellent,I service it myself as there are no service agents this side of NSW, Keep the filter clean and a good vacuum keeps it going, covered and wrapped over summer and placed in my garage.If you can come across one , do not hesitate buy it, you won't be sorry.

A fantastic heater

I have had my bowin heater for fifteen years, it has worked well with no problems. A friend accidentally kicked it last winter and broke the front grill. I decided to finally have it serviced so it can be cleaned and have the grill replaced. I contacted the Sydney number and they were great, they had the spare part and came to my house and did the service. It was not that expensive and I should have done it before. I've used this heater extensively, often using in the night on a low setting, I like that it has a temperature control. If you have one don't be afraid of getting a service, I'm hoping for a lot more years with my unit. I terms of the fan noise, it does make noise but has never worried me as it is not that loud.

BOWIN SLE2

Bought ours second hand due to Bowin's reputation as being super efficient and clean operating heater with patented technology. All in all fairly good, BUT..... Bowin as a company no longer operate, and there is only a few service people who can service them. Servicing is very expensive and apparently parts are scarce. Ours tends to cycle for about 30 minutes before overheating, we then allow it to cool down before restarting. It's a headache and a shame that an Aussie product that was industry leading fell by the way side and now lacks support.

Powerful clean burning heater

I have had our heater for over 10 years and had one fault with it because I didn't clean the filter properly. I used to vacuum it and after the unit kept cutting out I took it to the repairer in Dianella north of Perth. He advised me to wash it in water with a bit of detergent and let it dry thoroughly, no more problems. It can be a bit loud on a maximum setting but it adjusts its fan speed once the room warms up and is reasonable. Many people that see it in operation ask where to get one, unfortunately they can only buy second hand. Make sure if you do the yellow fault light is not on and behind the filter has no dust.

Plastic grill breaks and so does the plastic clip that holds the lid shut.
I would definitely buy another one.

Bowin noisy

I bought the bowin after reading reviews of low emissions etc and thought this the best product however found it to be extremely noisy (fan) as it was in the main lounge area where tv was every time it switched on the tv sound had to go up then it switched off and we were blasted by a loud tv turn it down heater switch on can not hear tv again. Eventually decided had enough and replaced with a Rinnai radiant gas. Gave the bowin another chance last winter same situation and after about a week it stopped working altogether I think it is the ignition starter not sure whether to bother to have repaired now I 'm reading how expensive servicing is.
Nil smell
Noisy, bulky design

Good and bad

We have two of them. No trouble with one, has worked well for many years. the other one, however, stops after anything between half and four hours, no matter what temperature setting or remote or manual, with the orange light blinking. Has to be switched off, then works again for a while. Bowin not helpful at all; service too expensive with no confidence that problem will be fixed, so we put up with the inconvenience.
Good heating, low smell on natural gas, good safety features.
Unreliable and too expensive to repair - buy new for equivalent repair cost and throw this one away.

I had my Bowen serviced by Ian Johnson Appliance Repairs in Sydney. Excellent. Better than Bowen. It does what I want it to do know.

Just handed on my Bowen SLE-loved it!

I bought a Bowen 11 SLE when my first child was born (18yrs ago) for all the health and safety features.
We moved a lot and so the heater had to be converted from Natural to LPG and back again several times.
I always used the Bowen Design company to do the conversions
On one occassion the heater got lost in transit.
The owner tracked it to a warehouse, picked it up after hours and then had his son drive it up to me in Blackheath (Blue Mountains) that night!
Fabulous heater, great design, unbelievable customer service. Where are they now?
Low Nox burners, really effective, good design, exceptional after-sale service
After 20 years it needs a service

[address removed]. Got my SLE serviced last year for about $80 but may have gone up. Give them a ring. They are very helpful. Great heaters highly recommended.

Tommo

Excellent

Good product, good service, well designed and made in Australia, the low emissions are great, one of our sons has mild asthma and he had to sell his Rinnai Avenger because it made his asthma really bad, he now has a Bowin SLE2 like ours and has no problems.
We recently bought another one 2nd hand, had it serviced for approx $180 including some minor parts, for the family room.
Great Australian product had our SLE2 since 1997 and get it serviced approx every 2 winters, simple to clean grills and filter on a regular schedule myself, kids are fascinated with the pop-up-lid and we lost a couple of lid clips but Bowin mailed a couple only replaced an ignition board which wasn't very expensive plus the small centre grill which one of the kids cracked.
Service in Perth is easy to arrange and reasonably priced, friendly 'Older' bloke who knows the heaters inside out, we take it to him in Dianella about 8klm north of the city.
If not serviced every couple of winters the fan can get a dust build up and it gets a bit of a vibration up because the fan is out of balance, doesn't happen if we keep the filter clean.

We love our Bowin SLE-2 heater, my 'Old' Dad lives with us and has emphysema (Ex heavy Smoker) so we had to be careful in a choice of heater and the Bowin has been great. We also live in Perth and the service guy in Dianella is very helpful and reasonably priced, he does it from home. We live South of the river so it's about a 30 minutes drive for us but if you call him and make a time he will make sure he is there when you arrive, usually takes a couple of days depends on how many he has to do because he does them in the order they come in.

Good efficient heater

Have used our SLE2 for over 14 years with no problems. Runs on LPG with no smells.Very efficient, reasonable gas use. Heating around 50 square metres set at 22c. Cycles on and off with no problems. Living 300 metres from the Southern Ocean at Encounter Bay. Would buy again. Have recommended to friends.
Energy efficient and heats quickly. Not intrusive in the room and still quite modern looking.

Product that lasts and lasts

I have had this heater for 20 years and it has been a great asset. It is now about to give up the ghost.
I wish I was in Melbourne with it, so that I could give it a complete overhaul and have it serve me for another 20 years.
Living in Perth makes it disdvantageous to own a Bowin because of the exclusivity of Service franchise. There are only 2 (that I know of) registered service centres (sole traders), one south of the river in Rockingham and the other, north of the river in Dianella. Both centres are quite a distance from me. Having said that, the product quality makes it a pleasure to traverse the distance to get it serviced.
reliable, economical to run and efficient
expensive, minimal service centres

Wonderful product, appalling customer service. Try replacing a broken remote.

BOWIN REVIEW

Hayward 250 Btu Natural Gas Heater Manual

Heater is good, servicing costs the earth !

Purchase the heater in 2010 (we bought it 2nd hand). it has worked fine, and warms the room quickly. it's not too loud, and is safe with young kids. overall, we're very happy with it. HOWEVER, we had to get a circuit board replaced this week. could not find anyone to service the heater except for Bowin themselves. the callout fee was $130, and the circuit board was another $130 + (despite them telling me over the phone it would cost about $30 for the part). very very expensive.
reliable heater, and safe with young kids
expensive to service

Bowin SLE Lo-Nox

We have had our Bowin heater for 12 years. It's still going strong. We have recently had to replace the grills but this has not affected its performance. It heats our entire home & we find it the most comfortable and cost effective form of heating.
It has been extremely reliable, is energy efficient & while it was expensive to purchase (12 years ago was well over $1200) it has been very worth it!!

Jonarem

Really happy

I don't normally write reviews but after reading these reviews I thought I would add my experience. We could not have been happier with ours. It's now into it's sixth season with no sign of problems. We recently installed a spilt system heat pump and thought we'd use it rather than the bowin. We've gone back to using the gas heater. It's no noisier than the split system and it heats far better. We have an open plan house and the bow in keeps it far snugglier than the split system.
Reliable, heats really well and really fast. No smell and looks ok

BIG_JOHN

Excellent

I find it a very good heater for our house we use it to heat an area of about 70s meters and it gets hot very fast i would recomend this aussie made product over the rinnai for shure
This is a great heater was also looking at the rinnai avenger 25 but i liked the low nox idea on the bowin sle25 am happy with product i dont find it all that noisy as do some other reviewers.
The sle25 suits a large room at even on low it still produces a lot of heat

william5533

Excellent

Excellent. Don't understand other bad reviews. My families lungs are worth the investment for the low NOX emissions.
Have had 2 for a number of years and only had, probably unnecessary, maintenance services done at home. These seemed good value for money as experienced, decent on time and good value technician has done check / clean to ensure all OK for coming winter.
Very effective heating without the pollution/smell most other flueless heaters produce. The high setting is great for warming a freezing house when you get back late with tired kids and the lower setting is fine to warm and keep rooms warm warm during the evening on on a cold wintery day.
Too easy for toddlers to access controls and either turn off or onto flat out.
To easy for paint to get scratched and fins to get damaged however not hard or expensive to replace.

OK

Good heater, warms effectively and quickly, low emissions, was reliable for 7 years of very regular use, expensive repairs, unhelpful service desk.
Other unflued gas heaters give me migraines within 2 hours of turning them on. This heater does not. For health reasons definately would recommend.
Very expensive to service. I had the heater for 7 years and it has had heavy use as I am in a cold climate, but when eventually it wouldn't start the cost of repairs included call out fee $132 plus another $132 for parts, hence $264. Since I only work part-time this was considerably expensive for me BUT the alternative is to install a flued heater which is definitely beyond my current means. I did try to go without a heater (used hot water bottles and blankets instead) but I got bacterial pnemonia (was hospitalised) and wonder how much living without a heater contributed to this.

Funefoo

Excellent

Fantastic unit which works better than i expected.
Low-nox sold me as well as good efficiency compared to others.
6 years and still running great even when run more than half a day thru 6 winters.
Only noisy if it's a quiet room. Only the ignition spark might be loud enough to wake you (i don't get up but my wife might, though only infrequently).
We had to repair our board after our 15mth boy pushed the heater over and it stopped working. We took it to Brookvale and no issue at all with service - no idea what others have experienced but we had fantastic support. I also doubt other heaters would be a lot cheaper to service (if you take it to a local store for another brand, they still charge you freight!).
You CAN get it with a longer hose - we asked for a 3m one which makes it much easier to roll and point the heat in a certain direction. Only have to ask the sales people! Brookvale can also install it with a longer hose if you have the 1m one.
No smell when using natural gas (unit might not have worked so well with bittled gas but i don't own that version)

Would have NO hesitation in buying this unit in a heartbeat if i had to again and recommend it to everyone i know!
Works great, heats super fast, lo-nox massive advantage with kids and new apartments where window seals are better than old houses, timers - 2 of them - are great: heat up before you wake up and heat up before you get home! Doesn't get hot enough to burn you.
None - except it doesn't like to be tipped over (our 15mth boy pushed it over and power board blew)

Terrible

We have one of these. It cost a bomb. Worked ok for a while. But just outside the warranty period, the fan died. Without the fan, nothing works. Only repair option is to take it to Brookvale, where they will 'replace the main board' (for a broken fan?) at huge expense. I'm talking around $300 or so. Or we can pay the same expensive repair bill PLUS another $100 for THEIR technician to come to us. Yeah, right... We live in the Blue mountains (...?) We never go to the city, let alone the northern beaches. So it still sits forlornly in a corner, and has done for years. Only reason it still sits there is that we haven't (yet) got the heart to throw away something SO expensive. If I could give it a zero, I would.
Looks Nice. :)
Expensive. Unreliable. Unbelievably poor and expensive repair system.

Bowin Sle2 Natural Gas Heater Manual

Terrible

In NSW, can only be serviced in Brookvale (or pay through your nose to have them come to you). Very un-helpful on the phone.
I will never buy one of their heaters again!!!
Unfortunately, cant rate them a Zero!

Service (what service?) is crap.

Questions & Answers

I have a Bowin SLE XL Low Nox space heater that I need serviced in Melbourne. Can anyone recommend a service man in or near Hoppers Crossing. Thankyou
Hi There JennyIf you look up any LPG or Natural Gas Heater service centre, they should be able to help you. If not contact me again and I will show you or discuss with you what I do each season to have the Bowen perform at peak efficiency.RegrdsGuidoThanku so much Guido. It's been soooo many years since it was last serviced. It runs like a dream. But just to be sure it's not leaking etc. I will keep in touch. Last time I rang Bowin in N.S.W. they said they don't have servicemen in Victoria anymore and 'just run it tills it dies'. Which I was doing. Till I thought, no that's dangerous. Time to ask around. Take care Jenny
Our heater keeps turning off. The gas is flowing fine. If we unplug the cord and replug it will ignite and startup for about 30 seconds then green light flashes and no heat comes out.Any ideas?

Dayton Natural Gas Heater Manual

OK has the gas been checked to see if there is enough? Turn off at the wall and plug it back in,it should re set? Check your batteries in the remote. when you re plug it use the on button and push the remote button on the heater. Are you using the remote? or doing it manually? If all these points still do not work you may have to get a Technician or take it to a Heater service centre.. Hope I've been of some help. Regards Guido I've had mine for some time now, and I service it yearly myself.
Our remote doesn't work, even after new batteries. Can I get a replacement remote control unit for our Bowin SLE?
Hi Allan It would be advisable to check your battery connections for corrosion, the batteries last for a long time and remain idle for months., do this check and see how you go. You can use a lady’s nail file ( not the metal ones) the softer version.be gentle.Our remote control battery connections were corroded, so we used a nail file as recommended to clean them. This got the remote working. But the heater wouldn't trigger the gas ignite. We located a Bowin Service man (Tom) who came a located the problem (mother board) , then quickly fixed and then tested the heater. A very pleasant and competent man. New exactly what he was doing. We highly recommend him. The heater is now like new.
