Many residents of San Juan went ahead of the high season to carry out maintenance on heating appliances. This is quite positive since AISAGA (Association of Sanitary, Water, Gas and Related Installers) takes the opportunity to focus on awareness in each of the homes they visit in 2024.
Hora Correa, AISAGA representative, stressed that after the economic scenario that the country is going through, the people of San Juan are betting more on the repair and maintenance of artifacts and to a lesser extent on the issue of new installations.
“There was a considerable drop in our sector and with the arrival of the first cold weather, the people of San Juan began to demand servicing of the devices to put heating and hot water tanks in condition. “We take care of collaborating with citizens as we go to homes to raise awareness.”Horacio Correa, president of AISAGA, stressed to La Provincia SJ Newspaper.
At the moment, The maintenance of open chamber heaters, which are infrared, catalytic, costs around $28,000 to $38,000, depending on the condition of the device. Balanced draft devices cost between $40,000 and $50,000, depending on the installation and conditions of the device.
The reference on the subject assured that it is of utmost importance that all pertinent precautions be taken to avoid possible tragedies. The professional in the matter highlighted that “ventilation must be respected; You should keep a window leaf slightly open, so that it does not hermetically close the environments where there is heating, especially open chamber, which is where carbon monoxide is emanating.” In addition, the man from San Juan remarked “we always recommend not installing this type of open chamber, catalytic or water heater in bathrooms, hallways, bedrooms.”
Correa explained that demand began to rebound and they are focusing on getting ahead to prevent tragedies.
Regarding the problems that concern San Juan gas users, Correa indicated that as much as it sounds repetitive; Ventilation is the key to saving lives. However, in many homes they are clogged. That is why they focus on well-installed and good maintenance of the devices.
“We are finding devices with a lot of dust, lint, that need to be cleaned, the injectors calibrated,” he stressed.
Finally, he indicated “we aim with this awareness more than to attract clients, we do it to collaborate on the damage caused by carbon monoxide. “That is our premise in these times.”
The key
The appliances must be properly cleaned for them to function properly. The pilot must be with the corresponding flame and the burners must have a blue flame from its origin to the tip of the flame.
