Noisy old heater

[Kalarama]

Hi,

I have a old forced-air, hot-water heating unit in the cellar, hanging on the ceiling. It's a Trane "model S" Unit Heater, about 2'x2'x1' in size, electric fan in the back of it.

The fan is really noisy, but motor seems in good shape otherwise.

What can I replace it with?

Are newer residential heaters of this type any quieter?

(This is a loud commercial unit, I guess, because the Trane website states these "units provide uniform heating for large open areas in such applications as warehouses, factories and showrooms.")

Tried cleaning it real well?

replace the fan motor, or the bearings in it. OR, rip it off and hang a breeze box fan up there.

Thanks, I did think of doing that, those are much quieter.

I'd like to take it down and haul it outside and blast some air through it....

: Hey Kalarama,

I use a solar power heater hooked up to a modine hydronic unit heater and its pretty quiet.
