It’s time to replace your water heater!
How many people have returned home during the Chinese New Year only to find that in the blink of an eye, the water heater at home has been used for many years.
When taking a shower, the water temperature is either hot or cold, or the water heater often fails to turn on.
But my parents always say it’s okay, as long as it works. Adhering to the usage principle of that generation, “If you can make do with it, never ask a master to repair it; if you can continue to use it after repair, never buy a new one”!
But did you know that there are safety risks if the water heater is used beyond its age?
The water heater’s expiry date is:
The recommended service life of electric water heaters is 8 years;
The service life of water heaters with artificial gas source is generally 6 years;
The lifespan for liquefied petroleum gas and natural gas water heaters is generally 8 years.
Hidden dangers of overage use of gas water heaters
Hidden danger 1: gas leak poisoning
After many years of use, various parts of the gas water heater have aged, making it easy for gas leakage to occur, endangering the lives and safety of your family.
Hidden danger 2: Risk of electric shock
Overaged gas water heaters may have circuit aging problems, which may lead to leakage of current during use. Once the leakage of electricity comes into contact with water, an electric shock accident may occur when using water for bathing or kitchen use.
Hidden danger three: Waste of energy and money
After long-term combustion of the heat exchanger of the “over-aged” gas water heater, a large amount of carbon deposits will appear, the water tank will rust, and scale will accumulate in the pipelines, which will greatly reduce the thermal efficiency of the gas water heater and waste more time and energy.
Hidden danger 4: Very poor usability
I believe many friends are aware of this. The old water heaters at home not only provide hot water slowly, but also often get hot and cold during use, not to mention water purification and constant temperature functions.
Hidden dangers of overage use of electric water heaters
Hidden danger one: increased power consumption
After the electric water heater exceeds the recommended service life, the efficiency of the heating tube of the machine becomes poor, resulting in a significant increase in power consumption.
Hidden danger 2: Harmful to skin health
If the electric water heater is used for too long and is not properly cleaned, a large amount of sediment, dirt and bacteria will accumulate in the inner tank, which will cause damage to our skin.
Hidden danger three: Increased risk of electric shock
Due to the aging of the previous generation of anti-leakage devices, the probability of electric shock accidents will also greatly increase.
As my parents are getting older, they are not only prone to colds and illnesses, but also have safety risks. Why not take advantage of the New Year to replace them with a new water heater!
