The article notes that using a gas stove to heat a room is not at all effective and is very dangerous. The authors of the publication also warned against using bricks heated on a gas stove for heating.
“According to experts, the amount of energy that a brick can accumulate when heated on a gas stove reaches only 0.051 kW/hour. An ordinary three-liter heating pad with water will be four times more efficient as a source of heat,” the material emphasized.
The authors of the article warned that natural gas cannot be used for heating without proper ventilation of the room: for complete combustion of 1 m³ of gas, 10 m³ of air is required.
“During combustion, carbon and oxygen react. But it only happens as expected if there is enough oxygen in the room. As a result of the reaction, carbon dioxide is formed – CO2, which must be released through the ventilation system. But if there is not enough oxygen in the room, there is a risk that carbon will form a dangerous compound – carbon monoxide. It is called carbon monoxide,” the material says. “If you want to heat the room with a gas stove, then close the windows. This can put you at risk. health and even life.”
The most dangerous thing is to turn on the gas stove for heating at night and go to bed.
“There is no safe way to heat your home with a gas stove! The technical data sheet of any gas stove or surface clearly states that this is a household appliance intended for cooking. They simply do not have any other functions. Be careful and do not use dubious life hacks.”
