However, gas boilers have their disadvantages.

In addition to electrical, there are also gas boilers. Let’s try to figure out what type of water heating and when it turns out to be more preferable. The biggest advantage of gas water heaters is that they are much more powerful than electric. If the average power of an electric water heater is in the range of 1.5-3 kW, then the power of a gas burner is most often at least 7 kW. If you transfer this during the time required to heat the water, it turns out that the volume of water, which the gas boiler will heat up in an hour, the electric one will need 3, and possibly 4 hours. However, gas boilers have their disadvantages. Firstly, at least it should be possible to connect to a gas network. To install a gas boiler, you need to make a chimney, in addition, the installation of the water heater itself is also quite difficult and may require significant investments. There is a risk of gas leakage and the probability of an explosion. Therefore, it is better to trust trusted manufacturers and choose not the cheapest models of water heaters — safety and reliability above all.
