Do I need to buy a water heater if I have natural gas installed in my home?

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.

There are water heaters that do not use natural gas.

There are many kinds of water heaters that do not use natural gas, and at present, domestic water heater products mainly include electric water heaters, gas water heaters, and solar water heaters.

and air energy water heaters. Therefore, there are water heaters that do not use natural gas, such as electric water heaters, solar water heaters, and air energy water heaters.

Introduction to water heaters.

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, solar water heaters, gas water heaters, magnetic energy water heaters, air energy water heaters, heating water heaters, etc.

Nationwide, the sales list of water heaters, entry-level products of about 1,000 yuan are still the mainstream of the market. Among the top 10, in the most dense range of 700-1300 yuan, there are 5 storage electric water heaters, 2 gas water heaters, and 3 instantaneous electric water heaters. It should be noted that the models below 700 yuan in the top 10 are all instantaneous electric water heaters, all of which are small kitchen treasures.

Imitate. According to statistics, in the entire water heater market, storage electric water heaters account for 53% of the market share, and gas water heaters have a market share.

At around 30%, solar water heaters have only a 10% share, air source heat pump water heaters have a share of less than 4%, and instant heat heaters have a share of less than 3%.

Summary. Dear kiss, I am happy to answer the question of can you use natural gas in a liquefied gas water heater. Dear, liquefied gas water heaters can use natural gas.

Dear kiss, I am happy to answer the question of can you use natural gas in a liquefied gas water heater. Dear, liquefied gas water heaters can use natural gas.

Dear, the water heater of liquefied gas can answer with natural gas. Dear, the water heater of liquefied gas cannot use natural gas, because the jet port of the water heater of liquefied gas and the natural gas water heater are not the same, and the air pressure of the two is not the same.

When the LPG burner is converted to natural gas, you can remove the original nozzle and load it back with a nozzle suitable for natural gas. However, the modification of the machine is more complicated, involving a lot of parts of the machine's gas system, such as the combustion fire exhaust of the water heater, the aperture parameters of the nozzle of the gas manifold, the modification and adjustment of the gas stable cavity and the beam pressure valve, or the setting of the gas proportional valve, etc.

Thank you! Is it okay to connect the gas nozzle to the middle of the hose? Yes.

1. Installation location: The water heater must be installed in a well-ventilated and easy-to-use place. The following installation forms are not allowed: The doors and windows of the room where the water heater is installed are closed, and the air is not circulated, which can cause suffocation and carbon monoxide.

The danger of poisoning. It is not allowed to stack wood, hang curtains, or place flammable materials such as alcohol and gasoline around the area where the water heater is installed. The smoke vent of the water heater is also not allowed to be covered with something.

Although the installation of the water heater has air circulation, there is an open window above (or next to) the flue gas outlet of the water heater to communicate with the shower, and the exhaust smoke will enter the shower and there is a risk of poisoning. The water heater is installed in the bathroom, because the air does not flow and is disturbed and closed, resulting in a lack of oxygen base and insufficient combustion, and the carbon monoxide in the smoke will poison people and even die. Although the water heater is installed in a well-ventilated place, the bathroom space is small and unventilated, and there is a lot of water vapor.

Fill the space so that the oxygen content in the air is relatively reduced, physical fitness.

It is also dangerous for a bad person to take a bath in it for a long time. 2. Cables, sockets and leakage prevention: water heaters belong to Class I electrical appliances and must be forced to be grounded. The use of electric water heaters is generally considered in the design of power distribution in new residential buildings.

or the electrical load of the air conditioner. The cable routing is equipped with a slow front cracking timing considering the ground wire, and all three-pin sockets have reliable ground wires to communicate with the ground. The socket uses a leakage-proof socket, and a three-pin socket is reserved for the location where the electric water heater is installed in the bathroom.

3. Smoke pipe: The smoke exhaust pipe is not allowed to be installed in the public flue to avoid backfilling of return air and causing danger.

Extended Information: Gas Water Heaters.

Also known as gas water heater, it refers to a gas appliance that uses gas as fuel to transfer heat to the cold water flowing through the heat exchanger through combustion and heating to achieve the purpose of preparing hot water. The gas water heater is mainly composed of valve body assembly, main burner, small fire burner, heat exchanger, safety device, etc., and also includes flue water heater flue and strong exhaust water heater.

of the strong discharge device. The valve body assembly controls the working procedure of the entire water heater, which includes water valve, air valve, and micro switch.

I cannot use it universally. Gas water heaters should distinguish gas source gas types, and different gas types cannot be used interchangeably. The enclosure of the gas appliance is clearly marked:

This appliance is only suitable for what kind of gas. 1. 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.

2. 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.

Question: Liquefied gas water heater changed to natural gas water heater.

Dear, if you say this, your problem is that natural gas water heaters and natural gas water heaters can be used universally.

Question**You can update the Sakura brand gas water heater to a natural gas water heater, and the modification is time-consuming and laborious, and it is not safe, replace it with a new one, in fact, the solar energy is not bad, there is no need for this ......It is recommended to change to a new ......Kiss.

In general, gas water heaters can be installed.

When installing a gas water heater, you must pay attention to the wall support of the gas water heater must be stable to avoid the gas water heater falling off accidentally. The wall bracket must be able to withstand the weight of the gas water heater after adding water, so as to protect the gas water heater.

When installing a kitchen water heater, it is necessary to consider not only the height of the water heater itself, but also the height and requirements of supporting facilities. For example, the water pipe of the pier cloth pool is required to be 750 mm from the ground. The ground waterproofing should extend from the ground to the wall, 300mm above the ground, and the door should extend 300mm outward and on both sides, and the waterproof paint should be evenly painted and the boundary should be clear and neat.

Many owners use gas water heaters at home, and like most kitchen and bathroom appliances, most of them are semi-finished products when they buy them, and they need to contact the manufacturer's after-sales personnel to install them. In fact, understanding the installation methods and precautions of gas water heaters can also prepare for the transformation of the gas flue, and if the installation location is appropriate, the future gas flue transformation work will be easier.

1. Installation method of gas water heater.

1. Unpacking inspection.

Whether it is a water heater purchased online or in a shopping mall, the majority of friends must pay attention to it, whether it is buying a water heater in **, you must wait until the installer comes to install it for you before unpacking. Because if there is a problem with unpacking, many merchants do not give three guarantees. After unpacking, check whether the accessories are complete, whether the manual, three bags of certificates, etc. are complete, and check the accessories with reference to the manual.

2. Pipe laying and valve installation.

Insert the special threaded pipe of the gas water heater in the reserved position, and the reserved cavity should be slightly larger, so as not to re-hole and rework at that time. If the hole edge is frizzy, you can cover the water heater with a lid after it is installed, and then fix it with glass glue. Before installation, completely close the water valve in your home to prevent "flooding", and then install the hot water valve on the left side of your direction, and the cold water valve on the right.

3. Install gas valves.

When connecting the gas pipe of the water heater to the gas meter, it is necessary to install a triangular valve to change the gas pipe that was originally only for the stove into a pipe that can be used for both the stove and the water heater. It is best to choose a ball valve, so that the opening and closing is more convenient.

4. Install smoke exhaust pipes.

The smoke exhaust outlets are all designed by the developer and the location is reserved, so the smoke exhaust pipe is best arranged before the water heater is on the wall, otherwise the location is not easy to adjust. It is best to use the cover between the exhaust pipe and the wall, and it is best not to use the plastic material that was originally reserved, because the temperature of the exhaust pipe will be very high when the water heater is in use, and the plastic lid will be baked. It is necessary to pay attention to the inner height and outer low to prevent rainwater from backing up.

5. Make holes before installing the water heater.

It is necessary to measure in detail to determine the location of the water heater installation, and then draw the position that needs to be drilled on the wall with a pen, and punch the hole, drill the hole with the expansion screw to hang the water heater first, and then delineate the position of the hole below, and then drill the hole again.

6. Adjust the water heater after installation.

After the water heater is put on the wall, it needs to make final adjustments. The yellow hose on the outside of the threaded pipe needs to be cut off to ensure its appearance. After everything is installed, the test work will be done.
