wall mounted Lp gas heater?

Nov 23, 2007 by powerglide51 | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I have a barrier mounted lp gas heater and the flame has been blue until now. It is burning orange. I be versed its not suppose to burn orange but what makes it smoulder orange. Please Help!!!!!!!!!!

The orifice (corner where the pilot flame comes out) is dirty, or your gas is truly low. To clean the orifice, shut off the heater and allow it perpetually to cool, remove screens and guards as ineluctable, then blow into the hole with compressed air like you use to clear your computer. there may be a flap on the side of the orifice as well, and if there is, blow air in there as well but do not bend the vibrate or spring. Reassemble guards and screens, and relight the steer.

Pool heater - LP Gas vs Electric?

Nov 10, 2006 by Charles H | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I'm looking for some poop regaurding the cost differance between lp gas and electric collection heaters. Not as much the cost of the unit, but the opperating get. Which would be more cost efficiant?

the Theatre troupe i work for sells gas, and does hvac calling, including geothermal.

recently we changed out a gas lake heater with a Geo thermal pool heater. we also changed the hvac system in the embed itself (it was a resort) to a geothermal system.

The end result....the energized bill went up $20 a month in the winter, down $100 a month in the summer, and the P wasn't buying 250 gallons of propane a month in the winter.

we ended up reserve the owner like $5000 a year on heating and cooling.

the compute installation costs were just under $30 000. the system will pay for itself in six years or less and has a 10 year parts assurance, and a life expectancy of 25 years or more.

all that aside, to hotness a pool, resistance electric heating will rate a fortune to operate, and LP gas will cost a smaller chance. geothermal heating will cost a fortune to introduce, but will save a fortune in the long run.

hope this helps,
Possum

I am erection a house and purchased a Rinnai 2532W LP out of doors tankless water heater. Can I install this model in my garage without venting it?
I am edifice a house and purchased a Rinnai 2532W LP alfresco tankless water heater. Can I install this model in my garage without venting it? What is the jeopardy likely to be if I don't vent it? I don't live in the garage after all?
I also have a set of Pale-complexioned Mountain Hearth ventless gas logs. I hypothesize those need to be vented as well?!

It's a soreness in the butt, but you really should vent it properly for many reasons.
Odorless noxious and deadly fumes built up in the garage, and if the module is not operating with proper combustion, then the fumes could raise up and cause an explosion.
Also the unit may not operate becomingly without the vent.
The newer models have a sensor in them that detects fumes erection up and will shut down the unit if the fumes are detected.
I'm not unequivocally familiar with the model you have, but most models these days have a compound vent and air intake- in other words, the pipe that vents it to the extraneous also has a fresh air intake on the inside of the exhaust peep.
