In recent years, with the introduction of national environmental protection policies and the demand for energy conservation and emission reduction, various products using clean energy have appeared in the heating field, such as gas boilers, air energy water heaters, etc. Different categories of heating products allow users to have more choices, but also increase the difficulty of choice. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of air energy water heaters compared to gas hot water boilers?

　　1. The fuel of the air energy water heater is different

　　The fuel of the gas boiler is mainly natural gas, petroleum gas, coal gas, etc. The air energy water heater is powered by electricity + air energy to maintain the operation of the machine.

　　2. The cost of air energy water heaters is different

　　The air energy water heater unit is relatively complex, mainly composed of four parts: compressor, condenser, evaporator and expansion valve. The gas price and electricity price, as well as the efficiency comparison of the two, can be calculated by simple calculation which is more energy-efficient.

　　3. The energy efficiency of air energy water heaters is different

　　In the past few years, the energy consumption of the air energy water heater was lower than that of the gas boiler, but after a few years of use, the efficiency of the air energy heat pump will decrease, the energy consumption will increase, and the maintenance investment will increase. won't drop too much.

　　4. The environmental requirements of air energy water heaters are different

　　The energy efficiency ratio of air energy water heaters is greatly affected by the ambient temperature. In cold conditions, in order to prevent equipment from freezing, air energy water heaters must operate 24 hours a day, and the electricity consumption will increase sharply. Therefore, the problems of air energy water heaters in cold areas need to be solved urgently. . The boiler energy efficiency is not affected by the ambient temperature. And gas boilers are usually installed indoors, while air energy water heaters, like air conditioners, are installed outdoors.

　　5. The functions of air energy water heaters are different

　　Air-energy water heaters can meet cooling, heating and domestic water; gas-fired hot water boilers can meet heating and domestic hot water.

　　6. The system requirements of air energy water heaters are different

　　The technical requirements for the design and installation of air energy water heater systems are higher than those of boilers. Gas boilers are suitable for multi-energy complementation and improve comprehensive energy utilization, such as combined cooling, heating and power.

　　The above is the difference between air energy water heaters and gas hot water boilers. In comparison, gas boilers are more adaptable. Of course, users can choose flexibly according to the actual situation, and correctly identify the advantages and disadvantages of air energy water heaters.
