Gas stoves are an unvented gas burning fixture. Your gas water heater and furnace both vent to the outside but not the stove. Higher end homes have a dual fuel stove, gas on top electric for the oven which provides a consistent controllable temperature. You don’t want to know what burning gas in an unvented appliance off gasses in your home.

Thinking about installing a heat pump but wondering how it might impact your electric bill? Carrier is here to help you make an informed decision! While a heat pump could cause a slight increase in electricity use, it often leads to overall lower heating and cooling costs, especially if you're switching from gas or propane.

I gathered the latest data from the heat pump water heaters in the big box stores, and compared their energy usage with their same-size counterpart conventional tank water heaters. You can see in our full video what the savings looks like, along with the real money savings based on your own kWh local electric rates. #heatpumps #heatpumpwaterheater #waterheater #waterheaterinstall #energyefficiency #netzerohome

When purchasing a gas stove, choose a self-igniting model for greater safety and convenience compared to one that requires lighting with a match or lighter. If you have a model that isn’t self-igniting, always light the match or lighter first before turning on the gas. #Safetricity

Lots of current thinking on heat pumps in this really good Telegraph article: >>You may not need to upgrade insulation >>Heat pumps can be cheap to run >>Installation can be a 'faff' but challenges are not insurmountable >>Check if your home is 'heat pump ready' by turning down the flow temp on your boiler: https://lnkd.in/dg5V3RvB >>We do need to change our heating habits >> It is possible to demand shift using cheap overnight tariffs (but I would not recommend an Economy 7 tariff as suggested in the article) >>Smart radiator thermostats are NOT worth installing (contrary to the article) as they will conversely reduce the efficiency of the heat pump. Homely IS worth installing! https://lnkd.in/eHh8pHWy

In almost every device we use, there are two controls managing the output. When we connect our phone to a speaker, there are two volume settings—one on the phone and one on the speaker. Or when water flows through a pipe, there’s the main tap and then our own hands to control the flow. Most of the time, we set the distant source to full, and adjust the final output with the closest controller at hand. (Cost saving Tip) Take LPG as an example. Many of us leave the gas regulator fully open and control the flame using just the stove knob. This habit leads to unnecessary consumption, making us use more gas and pay more, without even realizing it. But even with this conditioning, we often set the bigger things in our life at a low setting. But keep the everyday things at full blast! Where is this bigger knob located? Are we using all our energy controlling only what’s right in front of us? ~Burning Questions Photo by: https://lnkd.in/gas9Bpva

"Looking to save on your home’s electricity costs? Here are a few inexpensive ways to make a big difference: • Set your geyser to a timer • Switch to energy-efficient LED lightbulbs • Use a power strip to easily disconnect multiple devices • Opt for a gas heater instead of electric • Install a gas stove for more efficient cooking Small changes, big savings! #EnergySaving #HomeEfficiency #JustProperty #SustainableLiving"

In modern life, gas, as a convenient and efficient energy source, is widely used in home cooking, heating and industrial production. However, gas leakage is a potential safety hazard that can cause serious accidents such as fire, explosion and poisoning. In order to safeguard lives and property, gas alarms have emerged as an important line of defense against gas leakage. So, why can gas alarms effectively prevent gas leaks? And what advantages does it have? https://lnkd.in/gnWBSKq2
