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.
