Do we get gas room heaters in Australia ? that's new to me . let me do a search. Thanks mate
You should really stop using it, particularly if you have a ducted aircon system as well. Unless it's vented they're quite bad for you. They banned them in schools about 15 years ago now because of it. Here's a page from nsw health: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/environment/factsheets/Pages/unflued-gas-heaters.aspx
And from Victoria health https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/gas-heating-health-and-safety-issues
They're just not worth the risk, particularly because reverse cycle aircon is cheaper to run.
Lol I always hear a "tick" sound around the gas outlet. Is it normal?
Next to the gas outlet, theres a switch board, at first I thought its coming from the switch board but I dont think so. I still couldn't figure out where the sound coming from but I am sure its around that area.
Yea probably something else. Not sure how to pin point the sound source ? Please give me ideas if you guys have any . thanks
Heres a couple thoughts,
Double check you don't have some gas bottles left on the outside of the house. They might still be connected, and i don't know the pressure in the pipe could be causing some 'ticking'.
Its Derren the Dog, tapping out a morse code SOS along the copper piping hoping someone at the outlet will hear. He's been kidnapped by Rattus again, and he's locked under the house.
The reason it's new to you may be because unflued gas heaters are not a super great idea: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/environment/factsheets/Pages/unflued-gas-heaters.aspx
