Rinnai Gas or Hybrid (Gas+Electric) Heaters

[Rapper]

If it says 2000 Watts, it is going to use 2000 watts (or 2KW) of electricity. They simply convert electrical energy to heat of an equivalent amount
Yes fewer rods = less electricity consumption

Still expensive than the gas and hybrid heaters I suppose.

In terms of end user cost yes; as electricity in Pakistan is very expensive as compared to natural gas.

Thanks. . I thought of same as there should be no flame... my other heater 3.4 kw of paloma japan is doing well and there is absolutely no need of any warm stuff when it is on

Ur heater is convert frm lpg to natural gas. Sticker at the back says lpg. Go for tg which means sui gas in our books.

Under stood.
I was actually confused. Because I have seen electric heaters with just exposed rods with wires wrapped around it and that well for my experience is pretty expensive to run.
Second comes this which has this kind of glass rods. So I was wondering like if it is expensive to run as the one mentioned above or less
Another question
hybrid vs the one i posted.
Where as yes the gas are the cheapest to run.

Hybrids are cheaper to run simply because Gas is cheaper and can be run on a UPS as long you can provide a sufficient gas pressure. Hybrids also come in LPG variants so even if NG pressure is low you can hook up a LPG source and run it.

What are issues on running it on LPG?

1. procuring and positioning. It needs to be purchased, which might be an issue for some, then it needs appropriate placement. An open space with lots of shade.
2. LPG burns better and thus should be more efficient.

[lse1]

Yes, but can you run LPG and NG on same hybrid heaters or do you need separate?

Separate. LPG burns more efficiently and thus has smaller openings at burner; Though if you are asking if they would work. Yes they would but I would NOT advise it.

Ok so I bought 4kw 2013 model hybrid rinnai heater. I m running on ng. But I think its lpg model.

It ran fine for a day. Now its not running and i can smell gas in blower.

Will test again tomorrow.

[gttx]

Its giving gas smell despite having proper sealing and no leakages at back etc.

But wen it runs.it gives gas smell. Any feedback ??

I got it from mss rwp and now I m back in lhr.

It ran fine for 3hrs wen I checked it up at home in rwp. But now it somehow decided to give smell after reaching lahore

[rockk]

I also got frm mms rwp, when gas pressure is dam slow it give a smell but whn the gas pressure is hi it stops giving smell...and works v efficiently

I see. Which size u bought ? Mine is 4 kw

[rockk]

Any 1 have a solution to increase gas pressure fr ths heater? I was thinking fr a small suction type motor tht can be used between the gas pipe.. it will help to increase the pressure fr heater

[rockk]

Mine is 2.4kw and the capacity of urz is more thts the only reason..i intentionaly bought small size to overcome tha issue

Yes I also feel that could be the reason

[rockk]

Gttx bro its exactly the same reason...y dont u discuss the issue with mms.. between fr how much u got 4kw and year of manufacturing??

[gttx]

Paid 17k 2013 model. Yes I m discussing. He saying he will daewoo another piece then I can send back mine.

[epigenius]

i don't use heater and i don't think if one needs to use one as long as you are talking about isb and nearby areas....besides cuddling seem a better option
