Gas boiler – technology with passion
We have now repeated it over and over again over time: expensive energy is spreading across Europe and certainly shows no signs of stopping.
In fact, since the outbreak of war in Ukraine, we have witnessed insane increases in the price of both forms of energy, both electricity and natural gas, which have caused no small amount of uneasiness among Italian citizens and European citizens more generally.
Despite the crazy increase, we still tend to use home appliances heavily in the home environment. Between an electric stove, air fryer, fridge, washer, dryer, dishwasher, etc., there are so many appliances we use every day to complete all household chores, from preparing meals to cleaning our clothes, that we use every day.
Today we will particularly focus on that gas boilerone of the devices that we use the most, especially during the coldest autumn and winter months, to heat our home environment and have hot water when needed.
In fact, it often happens that we do not use the gas boiler quite correctly: it can even happen that it explodes, often resulting in even serious accidents. The most common causes of accidents include, for example, insufficient removal of the combustion products or unwanted gas propagation or, finally, incorrect ventilation.
Useful tips
One of the main pieces of advice we can give you regarding the use of the boiler is: Never expose it directly to the sunAnd as far as possible from any heat source. One of the most important hazards in gas boiler accidents is obviously the leakage of gas, represented by carbon monoxide. The latter is in fact very dangerous as it is odorless and therefore undetectable in the air and (if inhaled) can be fatal in a matter of minutes.
Precisely for this reason, one of the most useful pieces of advice and recommendations that we can give you in this regard is to regularly overhaul and maintain your gas boiler in order to avoid gas leaks and possible accidents resulting from them.

Finally, remember to ensure that the living environment is always adequately ventilated to keep the rooms ventilated and prevent the concentration of carbon monoxide from exceeding the so-called flammable limit, above which it could be dangerous.
