01 Avoid burning an empty stove when cooking: Many friends are used to turning on the fire to evaporate the remaining water in the pot before the ingredients are ready. This way, the gas stove burns empty, which really wastes gas. You can prepare the ingredients and seasonings in advance before lighting the fire, and wipe the water in the pot dry, which can greatly save gas.
02 Clean the gas stove fire hole in time: After the gas stove is used for a long time, the fire hole is easily blocked by soup or ingredients, resulting in the gas not being able to burn normally, insufficient firepower and wasting gas, so timely cleaning and regular maintenance can greatly save gas.
03 Control the size of the flame: When cooking, the firepower is not the bigger the better. Only when the flame size is moderate and the flame distribution area is adjusted to be level with the bottom of the pot, the heat can be evenly distributed.
04 Control the length of the bath: Controlling the length of the bath can not only save gas consumption, but also avoid carbon monoxide poisoning caused by taking a bath for too long in winter.
05 Check whether the gas appliance is overdue: Gas appliances that exceed their service life not only increase energy consumption and gas consumption, but also have great hazards and many hidden dangers. Therefore, friends should pay attention to check the service life of gas appliances and replace them in time.
06 Choose a water heater with the right liters: When buying a gas water heater, you can choose an energy-saving water heater with the right liters according to your own situation.
07 Develop good gas usage habits: When cooking, friends should adjust the flame size and cooking time according to the characteristics of the ingredients, so that “the fire is always on” to avoid gas extinguishing the flame; the gas stove should be turned off in time after cooking.
08 Learn to self-check for leaks: Do a good job of self-checking for gas leaks on a daily basis. The gas pipeline and equipment interface are high-incidence areas for leaks. You can use a brush dipped in soapy water (or diluted detergent) to apply to each joint, switch, hose and other parts, and carefully observe whether there are bubbles. If bubbles are generated, it means that there is a gas leak and it should be repaired in time.
09 Install a gas alarm to prevent gas leaks: Install a gas leak alarm at home to monitor the concentration of combustible gas leaks 24 hours a day. When the concentration of the leaked gas reaches the preset value, the alarm will immediately send out an audible and visual alarm signal to remind people to take emergency measures. Effectively improve the safety level of gas use.
There are many factors that cause high gas consumption and high gas costs. Everyone should find out the real reason for “gas consumption” based on the actual situation. In daily life, we also need to develop good gas usage habits, save gas, and use gas safely.
