How Many Years Does a Gas Water Heater Generally Last? What Problems Will There Be if It is Used Beyond the Expiration Date?

Gas water heaters have a lifespan of 8 years. The use of over-aged gas water heaters is very dangerous! The following are the hazards of gas water heaters beyond their useful life.

Since gas combustion requires a large amount of oxygen in the air to support combustion, if the ventilation is not smooth, it will cause incomplete combustion of the gas and produce toxic gases such as carbon monoxide, especially when the summer is approaching and the doors and windows are closed, it is more likely to cause poisoning.

According to experts, after years of use, gas water heaters are affected by the working environment, wear and tear of parts and components, and the probability of insufficient combustion will greatly increase, and the amount of CO emitted will also increase. In this case, carbon monoxide poisoning The probability will also be greatly increased.

In addition, if the installation of the water heater flue is not standardized, the connection with the water heater interface is not strict or there are cracks, the flue gas cannot be effectively discharged to the outside, so the flue gas will be poured into the room in strong windy weather, thereby causing carbon monoxide poisoning.

In the process of using the gas water heater, if there is no flameout protection device, it is easy to cause dangerous situations such as gas leakage or even deflagration when the soup overflows or the pipeline is aging.

After the gas leaks, the alarm measures are not perfect, and it will cause irreversible damage. At present, a large number of gas water heaters on the market do not have safety alarms at all. Even if some manufacturers have installed alarms, there is only one sensor, which can only monitor one gas alone, or monitor CO and CH4 in turn, and cannot monitor two gases at the same time. , Without comprehensive security measures, it is easy to cause security risks.

In the actual use of gas water heaters, if the water heater does not malfunction, users often do not perform maintenance for several years. However, after long-term use of "overaged" water heaters, carbon deposits will appear on the burner and the flue will be blocked, so the indoor CO concentration will rise, resulting in excessive carbon monoxide. In addition, non-standard operation and insufficient combustion of other gas appliances, etc., are also likely to lead to excessive CO.

Therefore, for the over-aged gas water heater at home, please replace it quickly. If you plan to buy a high-performance and safe gas water heater, please contact us.
