I agree with mickey - that is nonsense.
That is also nonsense.
======================== A tech for our gas utility had a dog that partly opened a stove gas valve. Strong mercaptan smell and gas present. House was aired out and mercaptan smell lasted. He had good utility gas detection equipment and the gas was gone. Mercaptan can absorb or adsorb on surfaces and stay around after the gas is gone.
======================== If a man says something and no woman is present is he still wrong?
In your case, I blame nurture, not nature.
I wasn't raised on roo or dingo meat like you were.
Got me. When my husband installed our first gas water heater, he not only had to drill through the concrete block foundation for the two PVC pipes (exhaust and air intake), but he had to install a receptacle in which the heater plugged in, not only for the igniter but for the fan.
We were upgrading from an electric water heater, which was located too far from the outside wall to install the high-E gas water heater that he selected.
We bought the first one at a heating-and-cooling supply; its replacement one came from Home Depot.
Come to think of it, we have a gas log fireplace with a pilot light. We haven't used it in years, because it makes the living room too hot and provides too much heat to the area where the thermostat is installed. The thermostat never calls for heat and the bedrooms get awfully cold. We've toyed with the idea of uninstalling it and drywalling over the opening.
A good Detroit lefty would rip out all natural gas appliances and replace with electric. So tell your hubby to get in his $120,000 F-150 Lightning, go to Menard Lowe's Depot and pick up a heat pump water heater.
Hurry, it's for the kids and climate change.
We only feed roo meat to mug tourists like you. Nobody here eats dingo meat, they are dogs and we don't eat dogs.
Do you still have a gas water heater? What does it use for ignition? If that requires electricity, you don't get hot water during a power failure.
That was important to me one time when I came home of a really cold day, and the power was out.
I have one of those. Its an old one with no pilot, it has to be lighted manually.
Electric igniter.
We have a natural-gas automatic standby generator.
