- We give you a quick run through of some of the components inside of a Bonaire ducted gas heater and explain what some of those parts do.
Wait until you get to the end to see it running and don`t forget to subscribe.
Thanks. Straightforward no talking for half hour about other things, yourself. Wish all youtubers were the same.

I love that roaring sound when gas is ignited in the valves. Reminds of jumbo jet taking off on a rainy day. 👍😃
Me too!!!
Thanks for watching.

Great video mate, 4th year apprentice in heating and cooling here. Finally a HVAC channel that’s not American 😂
Cool 👍
Nice vid
No mention of a thermister ? Or placement
Navigator, sta heat control, duel hot/ cool control
Maybe some elec dampers 😉
Just saying, shiny unit 🤣🤣
You are right, there`s a heap of more info I could have included. I just wanted to keep it easy as possible for the home owners to understand. Thanks for watching it.
Nice video and demo👍
Glad you liked it!
Great explanation
Glad it was helpful!

A great explainer, TY.
I have a Bonaire MB3 that is getting a bit long in the tooth and a newer one using 30 percent less gas sounds promising. What model is this one please? TY
I am not exactly sure as the video was made a couple of years ago, however it is definitely a Bonaire MB6 series unit.
If you are in Adelaide why not give us a call to get one of our techs out there to take a look at yours.

Hi there..instead of drawing the air from the return..is it possible to modify the system that it can draw the air from the roof space which will result in using less gas as the roof is generally hotter than the home on sunny winter day.
It is not something I would recommend.
Air being drawn in to the unit must be clean. This would mean filters would end up in the roof space. Filters need to be in an area where they are easilly serviceable by the home owner.
The manufacturers of furnaces aim for a certain ``temperature rise`` across the heat exchanger, this would not occur correctly if air is being drawn from the roof space and not the occupied space.
It would also cause static pressure issues with the system as the supply air would be working against a higher static pressure.
There are passive heat transfer kits which can be used to provide some small temperature rise. This would be a better solution.
Thanks for wathcing the video.

Hi Steve, we have a unit displaying a long-slow single green pulse on the control board, but cannot get the navigator to connect to the transceiver. Do you think it's possible the transceiver is kaput? I'm not sure what else could be the problem. Great video btw, thanks!
Never mind! Another fella's video showed me that I have to run a magnet across the transceiver (amazingly not in the manual!)
Hi Dwain, sorry for the late reply, I`m glad you got your heater all sorted.

I have a similar unit in my rooftop. Is there a air filter for this type of heaters? I am getting very low air from the vent in the other end of the house. Internet suggest me to clean the air filter of the heater before calling a technician. Thanks
Take a look where the air gets drawn back into the unit. It is normally located in a common central area like a hallway in the ceiling behind the grill.

My Bonair ducted gas heating doesn’t work sometimes when turn on. I tried Switch off main power to reset sometimes it helps but mostly doesn’t work.

There can be many causes for a unit to not ignite sometimes.

hi , i have ducted refrigerative cooling and gaz heating from bonair ,but if i set the controller to go down from 25 to 20 , it will only bring the temp from 25 to 24 , what would be the issue on a brand new install like that?
If it is not coming down in temperature and it is a recently installed system it would be best to ask the installer to come back to take a look. Just make sure you are in cooling mode.
Both the product and installation have warranty.

Is there a way to make Braemer Ecostar TH430 NG communicate with NEST thermostat?
Hi Arun.
I am not familiar with the Nest thermostat. It may be best to contact Seeley International who make the heater and ask for their for advice.

Is the gas used in this system similar or the same as refrigerant such and R410a or R134a in aircon and refrigeration?my company doesn't do heating systems like this, just reverse cycle heating
Hi Hayden.
No it is not refrigerant, it burns Natural Gas, just like your stove top (if it is gas)
Glad you liked it.

@@airconditioningdoctor so how would hooking it up to the gas line work? Would a plumber have to get involved and how do you shut off the gas line when undergoing installation?
Hi Hayden, we have access to 3 x gas fitting contractors who perform all of our gas fitting work also including testing the service and providing a COC.
Hope that helps.
I have a Bonaire MB4 and the Inducer motors on these are too noisy when it turns on and Off. I regret buying it and there is no way to silence it. I had Bonaire technicians look at it and apparently that is how the MB4 works. Very disappointing. My heater is external and very close to neighbors house close to our fence.
I know the blower motor obviously has to make some noise but the inducer on the Bonaire is annoyingly whining when Starting and turning off.....
What is the quietest ducted heater there is?
Hi ET.
All high efficiency ducted gas heaters will have an induced or forced draft flue blower that will make some noise.
Measuring the noise is not something we have ever done so I cannot answer your question.
It would be a question best put to a manufacturer to answer.
We recommend Rinnai StarPro heaters.

How to reset the breamer heater, mine stop working second time, installed 3 years ago, last year they visited to reset.
Hi Jack.
Your owners manual will show how to reset the unit. If the problem returns, a service tech will need to take a look at the unit. Being less than 5 years old, you might find it is still under warranty.

Where should the thermistor be positioned?
The supply air thermistor is fitted to the supply air duct.
