Bought a heater from these guys 4-5 years ago, did have an issue with the heater only after not using it for a year then turning it on, call them up, they quickly figured it out, due to the code, nothing to do with the product at all, just ended up being dirty fuel on my part, cleaned it out and it works beautifully like when I got it, will be getting a hydronic heater from soon, and I have been telling everyone that ,this company and product is wonderful.

After 3 years of trouble free use my Planar diesel heater talked back to me this past weekend with an Error code 15. I looked up the code (basically a battery issue) and it just didn't make sense as my batteries are almost new and I have a very reliable new Victron battery monitor. I contacted Sergei in the Canada office and he wrote back immediately asking if the unit had been installed directly to the battery. It had not. Instead my installer ran it through a circuit breaker. He replied that the installation directions say to wire it direct to the battery. I did as Sergei suggested and the unit

Dmitry was referred to me by another friend that had a diesel heater installation and highly recommended him. After an initial consult with Dmitry he made a recommendation and we proceeded with the installation. Everything was done to the highest of expectations and Dmitry was very professional. I would highly recommend this company based on our experiences.

I have now been using the heater extensively for nearly two seasons and, aside from some technical issues using the digital display, I have to give them a shoutout for doing fantastic work that has stood up to some serious wave pounding and constant use. I have never run anything but clear kerosene in my Planar 44D and the only modification I did to their installation was to wrap an extra layer of exhaust warping around the hot exhaust pipe to keep any items that might come into contact from burning. After getting all sorts of maintenance and installation work done on my boat from various technicians

We are on year 3 with our Planar 2D heater and it always performs flawlessly. Weve been in -27*C and with the heater it keeps the van warm and dry. Highly recommend them not just for a good product but especially their warranty and local support.

I've owned my Planar heater now for 4 years and have never had an issue with it. I use my boat year-round and the heater keeps the cabin warm and dry. There has been no corrosion of the parts despite being used in the salt water environment. I did the installation myself. Sergey gave me advice on the parts and tools I would need. A great product at a great price and a knowledgeable, friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Installed a 14TC-Mini on our 40 Bluewater P/H Trawler. It took 3 hours to remove the previous Webasto DBW-2010 and install the Planar. It took one hour to disassemble the galley cabinets to gain access to the exhaust thru-hull. Although the instructions are basic, the install went well. The existing heater hoses and exhaust were the same size as used by Planar. Purging every bit of air out of the coolant system is critical. The heater will shut down on fault codes 01 or 02 until the air is completely purged. There is no purge fitting on the Planar, so loosening heater hoses at the circulation
