1. Is the gas water heater safe?
It is understood that the flue gas water heaters on the market have been eliminated for many years, but there are still many people who use flue gas water heaters at home. In general, forced exhaust gas water heaters include water flow sensors, wind pressure switches, solenoid valves and other protective devices, all of which are controlled by the main board of the water heater. The flue gas water heater has no wind pressure switch, which may leave carbon monoxide and other waste gases indoors for a long time, and the safety factor is lower than that of the forced exhaust type.
2. No matter what kind of gas water heater, the service life stipulated by the state is 8 years from the date of purchase. If the gas water heater is over-aged and "in service", there will be hidden dangers when it is used. Due to the high hardness of tap water in our city, the aging of water heaters will cause internal scaling, slow down the heat transfer speed and easily lead to carbon monoxide poisoning accidents; The safety devices such as water flow sensor, wind pressure switch and solenoid valve are aging and invalid, and there are potential safety hazards such as air leakage, explosion and sudden fire. Consumers are reminded to eliminate over-age gas water heaters in time to prevent problems before they happen.
There are many gas water heaters on the market now. In order to save trouble, it is illegal for some residents to let manufacturers connect gas pipelines privately or privately. At present, these users have not gone through the relevant formalities in the city gas company, and the number and service life of users must be counted through household inspection.
4. In some old communities, residents use mechanical gas meters in their homes, and some residents connect gas pipelines privately. The staff of gas companies often "shut the door" when reading meters and checking safety. At present, 15 households who use gas water heaters illegally have been found in the area under Liu Wei's responsibility, and all of them need to be rectified. However, in the process of rectification, everyone knows that there are hidden dangers, that is, they are unwilling to rectify, which leads to slow rectification of hidden dangers.
Second, the advantages of gas water heaters
1. Convenient gas can be used immediately. Electric heat storage should be heated in advance. Solar energy depends on the weather. If it is cloudy, manual auxiliary heating should be carried out in advance.
2, the main body of safety gas in the kitchen, forced to deal with. There is no need to worry about the safety of solar energy, and it has natural advantages in the safety of life. However, the electric heat storage of the property is safe and there is no pressure for installation in a dry environment.
3. Effluent speed Regarding the length of the pipeline, the kitchen and bathroom were originally connected together, and they were pre-installed in the bathroom when they were designed, which had little impact. Personally, I feel that the amount and frequency of hot water in the kitchen in winter are not small, which needs to be considered as a whole. The electric water tank seems to be installed separately, and the pipe is not short. Solar energy means too long and too slow to compare.
4. The gas water heater has a fast heating speed, so even if it is used by many people, there is no need to wait, and the temperature is stable during use, and it will not gradually decrease like an electric water heater;
