Propex Heatsource heater

[IanC]

I have recently got a Propex blown-air gas heater - the new bigger 2.4kw version - it is great. Only problem is - it takes quite a few goes to get it going. it goes through a start-up procedure and then fires up - or switches off. I have to go through this precedure perhaps 6-7 times before it fires - even if it's only been turned off for a couple of hours. Has anyone else had this problem and is there anything I can do about it or is it just the system being so clever and careful that this is what it takes?

I have an eberspacher and it does something similar, when you turn it on it starts up and just as it starts to fire out lovely hot air it cuts out! I think I need a service agent thougha dn that is gonna hurt!

We get this problem as well but put it down to the cold weather and Butane, gone over to propane and no problem now.

I am already on propane - butane is just hopeless in anything other than summer - when you don't need the heating any how - so I have already changed. When it does get going it staysw going and is great - but just takes so many tries of switching on and off - just wondered what I could do

We have the same problem in our camper but only if we switch the gas off, If we leave gas turned on it starts first time.

Do other gas appliances burn good and clean? try a different regulator

other appliances - ie oven and hob are fine - no problems. I have had a new regulator fitted about one year ago - the thing is once it is going it will stay going all day - just starting it is the problem
