How To Make A Gas Wall Heater More Efficient?
1) The first and the most important step is to shut off the gas that is running to the heater. Most heaters have a valve between the gas line and the heater that shuts off the gas. Allow the heater to completely cool before attempting any of the following steps. 2) Remove the front of the heater, which is usually a grid made of either metal or glass. The grid is held to the heater by a pair of screws that are either along the bottom edge or the sides of the heater. As with all the parts of the heater, clean the grid before reattaching it later. 3) The main burner for the heater should be immediately behind the grid. The burner is usually a stainless steel round or oval bar that runs side-to-side inside the heater. The bar has holes in the top where the gas flames appear when the heater is turned on. Using a six-inch adjustable wrench and a pair of channel lock pliers, remove the burner from its mount inside the heater. There should be some brass grips or fittings on one side of the burner mount. After loosening them with the wrench and pliers, slide the burner out of the mount. 4) Do not slide the burner completely out of the heater, as the pipes connecting it to the gas line will break. The pilot light should not have to be removed as long as the burner is slid too far out. Take a bristled brass brush, and buff the edges of the holes and inside the holes along the burner. Next, take a vacuum cleaner and vacuum the holes as far as the hose can reach. Go over the burner very thoroughly when vacuuming, as any leftover dirt will lead to problems when reactivating the furnace. 5) Finally, place the burner back in the heater and re-slide it into the mount. Take care that the brass fittings are all fitted tightly to the burner. Take a wet cloth and wipe down the burner, the ignition assembly and the pilot light. Re-fit the grid on the front of the heater and screw it back into place.
