Can I install a natural gas water heater at home?

Summer is coming soon, and it's important for people who love sports to not be able to take a hot shower quickly after returning from a workout.

For this problem, installing a gas water heater for use can solve this problem very well.

Gas water heaters are ready to use and have different litres to choose from depending on how often you use them. However, before purchasing, it is necessary to contact the personnel of the gas company to carry out the transformation of the gas pipeline first, and reserve the gas interface for connecting the gas water heater.

Before installation, it is necessary to ask the sales staff about the installation precautions, and there will be no installation in some old communities. In addition, the main matters to be paid attention to when installing gas water heaters are as follows:

1. Buy well-known brand gas water heaters, standardize installation, and avoid hidden dangers.

2. When the gas water heater is installed, it is necessary to maintain a safe distance from the surrounding power sockets and gas pipelines, because the gas water heater will generate heat when it is in use, and the spacing too close will easily lead to fire.

3. The gas water heater should be used with strong exhaust and balanced type, the exhaust flue should be completely discharged outdoors, and the flue of the gas water heater should avoid ceiling packaging, which is not convenient for maintenance and observation.

4. The service life of natural gas water heaters is 8 years, and they should be eliminated and updated before expiration.

5. The location of the strong exhaust gas water heater can only be selected in the kitchen or balcony, and cannot be installed in the living room or other places at will.

Use a gas water heater to let you "bathe as you like"!

Just use canned liquefied gas, and there is the kind of matching water heater, which is the kind I use at home. You can go and ask for a water heater, and people will come to install it. The advantage of using liquefied gas is that it is ready to heat. If you use electricity, it will take a long time, and it will take a lot of electricity to heat it when it is turned on.

If the gas pipeline will be installed at a later stage, it can be installed.

If there is no gas all the time, it is recommended to install an electric water heater.

Whether to install a gas pipeline can be decided by asking the property and the developer to get accurate information before deciding whether to install gas or electric water heater.

Canned is liquefied petroleum gas, which can be used on gas water heaters, but you may not be able to afford it, it is too expensive, and its gasification cannot keep up with the amount of water heater when it is cold in winter.

As long as you have money, you can press anything.

The demand for home heating is gradually expanding with the improvement of the quality of life, and nowadays, it is common to hear someone ask in the decoration market: if the home is ready to install a natural gas wall-hung boiler, is it necessary to install a water heater.

How to judge: After installing a natural gas wall-hung boiler, do you need to install a water heater?

You need to understand that there are two main types of natural gas wall-hung boilers, one is a single heating household boiler, that is, it is only responsible for heating the home, and the other is a household boiler for both heating and domestic hot water, that is, it is not only responsible for home heating, but also responsible for providing domestic hot water.

So, if you buy a dual-purpose household boiler, you don't need to install a water heater.

Understand: What are the advantages of natural gas wall-hung boilers?

1.Household boilers are highly safe.

There is an essential difference between dual-purpose household boilers and water heaters, not only in the rich functions, but also in the safety and efficiency: the gas boilers on the market at present will have their own protection functions, such as the Italmann heating gas boiler, which has the functions of anti-freeze protection, overheating protection, water pressure protection and automatic fault diagnosis, so when in use, users also generally reflect that the use of gas boilers is more assured than the use of water heaters.

2.The water temperature of the household boiler is constant.

When installing a water heater, if you use hot water to wash dishes and take a bath at the same time, the hot water will often become smaller and the water temperature will drop because it is too late, but if you install a natural gas wall-hung boiler, no matter at the same time, even if the kitchen needs hot water and the bathroom needs bath water, the Italmann gas boiler can keep the water temperature constant at any time.

Buyer's guide: Look for condensing gas boilers with better energy efficiency.

I believe that while considering the installation of heating gas boilers, many people will worry about the problem of sudden gas costs after heating, compared with ordinary heating gas boilers, condensing gas boilers can meet the national energy efficiency standards, if you buy Italmann condensing gas boilers, its heat conversion rate can be as high as 109%, heating energy-saving efficiency is greatly improved, but the gas cost can be much less than the use of ordinary heating gas boilers.

Therefore, installing a condensing gas boiler for heating will be more economical, practical and cost-effective.

Tips: Regularly maintain the wall-hung boiler.

Finally, ITTELMANN reminds everyone that if you want to ensure the service life of the household boiler as a long-life household appliance at home, the daily maintenance of the wall-hung boiler must not be negligent.

Natural gas and water heaters are not the same appliance, each has its own function. If you talk in general terms, natural gas is for cooking, while water heaters are for bathing.

How to choose a water heater

Purchase first look at the capacity.

Purchase a storage type electric water heater.

The first thing to do is to decide the capacity of the water heater. The choice of water heater capacity mainly depends on factors such as household size and hot water usage. Generally speaking, if 1 person is used for bathing, you can choose an electric water heater with a volume of 30-40 liters; 2-3 people should buy a 40-50 liter electric water heater for continuous bathing; For 3-5 people to bathe continuously, you need to buy a 70-100 liter electric water heater.

In addition, larger capacities tend to be larger, so the size of the installation space needs to be considered.

Check the material of the inner liner of the electric water heater.

The inner tank is the key part of the storage electric water heater, which can be said to be its "heart", and the performance and quality of the inner tank directly determine the service life of the storage electric water heater. At present, there are three main types of electric water heater liners on the market: galvanized liners, stainless steel liners, and enamel.

Liner. From the aspects of anti-corrosion, heat retention, service life, etc., the enamel liner is the best.

Pay attention to the safety of electric water heaters.

As an electrical product, the safety of electric water heater directly determines the personal safety of users. At present, our electricity environment is not very ideal, there are often electric water heater leakage and injury accidents, electric water heater leakage protection is extremely important. At present, the anti-electric wall technology is a relatively reliable anti-leakage protection measure, and this technology has been included in the new national standard for electric water heaters.

When purchasing, check whether the product has safety technologies such as electric walls.

Choose products that are energy efficient and energy-efficient.

Electric water heaters are used frequently, and energy-saving water heaters are more cost-effective. Energy efficiency rating of storage electric water heaters.

The system has been implemented, and according to the regulations, all kinds of storage electric water heaters should be labeled with energy efficiency labels. The energy efficiency level of storage electric water heater is divided into 1-5 grades, of which level 1 is the highest, level 2 is second, and level 5 is the lowest, which is the energy efficiency limit value and the threshold for market access, and products below level 5 will not be sold in the market.

Other purchase considerations.

In order to prevent buying inferior products, when buying water heaters, it is best to choose brand products and buy them in reputable stores; When purchasing, pay attention to check the quality inspection certificate of the product; In addition, pay attention to check the service of the product, pay attention to the warranty period of the product, and whether it provides on-site installation, free maintenance and other services.

If you have natural gas installed in your home, do you need to buy a water heater? It depends on your needs, if you want to take a shower at home, or if you want to use hot water to wash dishes and cook in winter, then you must buy a gas water heater.

It depends on your needs, if you want to take a shower at home, or if you want to use hot water to wash dishes and cook in winter, then you must buy a gas water heater.

The basic working principle of the gas water heater is that the cold water enters the water heater, flows through the water-gas linkage valve body under the action of a certain pressure difference of the flowing water, pushes the water-gas linkage valve, and at the same time pushes the DC power supply micro switch to turn on the power supply and start the pulse igniter, and at the same time open the gas transmission solenoid valve, and continue to automatically ignite again through the pulse igniter until the ignition successfully enters the normal working state.

Precautions for the use of gas water heaters:

1. When the water heater is not used for a long time, it is recommended to turn off the external main power switch.

2. When putting on the water, the water outlet must be opened, and the air in the inner tank can be checked to see if the water is full.

3. Chongqing water heater maintenance suggestions should regularly remove the residual dirt from the shower and the water trap to ensure the smooth water outlet and help prolong the service life of the water heater.

4. Do not use acidic or alkaline cleaning liquid to scrub the shell of the electric water heater, choose to use neutral detergent when scrubbing, gently dry it with a wet touch cloth after wiping, and turn off the power supply of the incoming line when cleaning.

Upstairs the answer is inaccurate.

Although most gas water heaters have some windproof and waterproof splash resistance, they cannot be installed in the real "outdoor"!

The manufacturer's recommendation is to install it in a certain sheltered place such as a living balcony, which cannot be regarded as "outdoor" in the strict sense.

Most of the water heaters are installed in the "outdoor" where the sun and rain will be exposed, which can be used, but it will bring unnecessary risks, and the service life of the equipment will be greatly reduced.

In principle, gas water heaters can be installed outdoors, but they must be waterproof, rainproof and windproof when installed outdoors, and they must be anti-freezing in winter.

Whether a gas company is needed or not depends on the actual situation. If you have a natural gas pipeline at home, you don't need to find a gas company; If you don't have a gas pipeline, you need to find a gas company. In most cases, there is no need to find a gas company, because the natural gas pipeline is laid uniformly, and you only need to do it yourself or install it after the manufacturer's after-sales service.

If the area where the natural gas pipeline has not been opened, then when installing the gas water heater, you must find the gas company, the gas company will first lay the gas pipeline, and then declare the household, and then install the gas water heater. If you use an instantaneous thermostatic water heater at home, you can ignore these processes.

Of course, some places are stricter about the installation of gas water heater pipes, and in this case, it is better to follow the steps for approval.

1. The consent given by the gas management department for construction and installation is required to be qualified. After all, gas is a special substance, and it is extremely prone to dangerous accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to apply to the gas management department first and obtain consent before construction.

2. You need to ask the professionals of the gas company to come to the door during the installation to determine your installation plan, including the location of the gas meter, gas stove, and water heater. Through professional calculations, conclusions are drawn.

3. If the gas pipeline does not meet the standard, it is necessary to contact the gas company for transformation, and the pipeline must not be modified privately. So contact the gas company before installation to check if the pipeline meets the requirements.

This is also to ensure that there is a unified management, and if there is any problem in the future, you can directly find someone from the gas company, and there will be no situation where no one cares. The point is on the problem of gas pipelines, which not everyone can afford.

No. Gas water heaters should distinguish the types of gas sources, and different gas types cannot be used interchangeably. The enclosure of the device is clearly marked:

This appliance is only suitable for what kind of gas. Common residential gas types include natural gas, pipeline gas, liquefied petroleum gas, biogas, etc. Different gases have different compositions, different calorific values, and different ratios of optimal combustion state to air.

When the water heater switches to different gas types, the main board jumper inside the water heater should be modified, the gas nozzle should be replaced, and the gas proportional valve should be adjusted for some models.

A water heater is a device that turns the temperature of cold water into hot water in a certain period of time through various physical principles. According to different principles, it can be divided into electric water heaters, gas water heaters, solar water heaters, magnetic energy water heaters, air energy water heaters, heating water heaters, etc. Manufacture of air-conditioning part and manufacture of hot water section.

These two parts are inextricably linked, inextricably linked, and must work at the same time. That is, to produce hot water and cool the kitchen at the same time.

OK. If there is space for installation, try not to install it in a place with dense pipes, gas water heaters are generally installed outdoors in foreign countries, and more are installed in the kitchen in China, and the service life of gas water heaters is generally about 6-8 years.

When choosing a gas water heater, you must choose a plug with a ground wire, that is, a plug with three corners, to prevent accidents in the kitchen during the summer thunderstorm. The installation of gas water heaters must have enough distance from the gas meter, in principle, it is not allowed to be vertical in a line, and the horizontal distance needs to be kept at more than 30 cm.

The basic working principle of the gas water heater is that the cold water enters the water heater, flows through the water-gas linkage valve body under the action of a certain pressure difference of the flowing water, pushes the water-gas linkage valve, and at the same time pushes the DC power supply micro switch to turn on the power supply and start the pulse igniter, and at the same time open the gas transmission solenoid valve, and continue to automatically ignite again through the pulse igniter until the ignition successfully enters the normal working state.
