Today, the master came to install the gas water heater, and after reading the gas meter in my house, he suddenly whispered if I want to return the water heater?
My house is 120 square meters, one kitchen and two bathrooms, a family of four, if you take a bath at the same time, the amount of hot water is also a lot. So when I bought a water heater in the store, I asked the store owner: "I have a lot of family, is it appropriate to buy 13 liters or 16 liters?"
After listening to this, the clerk immediately recommended a 16-liter one to me and pointed out one of the 16-liter water heaters in the store. The price is 1600 yuan, ask me if I want to give it a try?
I immediately turned it on, the temperature rose quickly, and the sound was very small, try to turn the switch on, it will not become hot and cold, and the overall use is very stable, so I immediately bought it, paid for it, and made an appointment with the store owner to install it.
However, after the master came, he took a look at the wall and found a problem, the original water heater liters are different, the corresponding exhaust hole diameter is not the same, the original reserved hole is a little smaller, but the problem is not big, the master took a conversion head and got it.
After the installation, the master came to connect the gas end, and the moment he saw the gas meter, he stopped. Ask me if I should discuss with the store if I can return it, or consider a 13-liter water heater.
I said, "Why? Is there a problem with the quality of the water heater?"
The master said: "No, but I saw that the data on the gas meter is a bit small, so it is not suitable to install 16 liters." ”
After speaking, the master pointed to the data on the gas meter and said: "The mark of G1.6 represents the maximum gas supply of 2.5 cubic meters, and the corresponding 13-liter water heater is suitable." The G2.5 gas meter has a supply of 4 cubic meters and can hold 16 liters, and if the gas meter says G4, then it can naturally install any water heater on the market. ”
Speaking of which, I understood.
In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, my house is G1.6, to put it bluntly, it can't bring a 16-liter water heater. Even if it is barely used, and if the hot water is turned on in both bathrooms at the same time, the water temperature will be very unstable.
I said, "What should I do? ”
I immediately asked my neighbors and the shop owner, and I found that many neighbors also found this problem when they installed it. Some of them directly installed 13 liters, and some changed to a gas meter and directly replaced it with a G2.5 one.
So, for me, it's either to fight with the store owner for the goods, because I won't return the goods if I put them on. Either you can also change to a G2.5 gas meter, which means that it will cost almost 500 yuan more.
I called the store owner directly, and the other party initially did not agree to return the goods, she said that many gas meters are used in many communities are the latest, and this default is G2,5, I didn't say it at the time, so the fault of buying the wrong one is not in her.
In the end, there is no way, first, considering that there are many people in the family, you still need a 16-liter water heater, and it is not only inappropriate to replace it with a 13-liter one, but also troublesome when the amount of hot water is insufficient.
So in the end, I called the gas company and directly changed the gas meter, which cost hundreds of dollars.
However, as the boss said, the gas meters installed in many communities are at least G2.5, so there is generally no need to pay attention. But to be on the safe side, before buying a gas water heater, you should make sure that it will be more worry-free.
When you install a gas water heater, do you encounter this kind of problem with me?
