How do you heat properly with a gas heater?
I moved into an old apartment with gas heating and have never used one before. How do you heat properly? Do you turn the heating off at night, and what happens when I'm not home? Or is it just constantly on when it's cold outside? What's the most effective way? I'm a bit uneasy knowing there's a fire in my apartment. But I also don't want mold, etc.

Wow – such a thing (although pretty, with open flame) I had 35 years ago in my student bud.
There are no great options – if you want warm, you turn on when cold, then down.
Probably the apartment that is heated with this is not substantially isolated. You'll let the oven run overnight in winter if you don't want to get a cold shock in the morning.
In the absence, the oven can be removed.
Hello,
that looks like an oven heated with gas, that I would not necessarily turn off at the gas tap in the transition period, as at the time when I am not at home, it is enough to put the regulator on and in the evening when I arrive home, but in winter I would heat throughout, so that the temperature does not fall below +16°C to prevent mold!
Central heating – if it does not make hot water – only in summer or if it is still quite warm outside.
Practically all plants built in the last 30 years have a night reduction. There is a timer somewhere (currently installed via the operating part programmable) where you can adjust to what time your power is to reduce.
In many modern systems you can also switch to "Party" (No Night Downshot), "Vacation" (Permanent Downshot) and other functions.
You can improve the efficiency in which you buy electronic thermostats and mounted on the radiators. There are also which one can control by phone. So you can adjust more accurately and much more comfortably when you want to have how much warmth. Some systems also allow to reduce temperature when the phone is no longer in the WLAN, so you are not in the house. They turn up when you enter the house or some also have an app that notices when you are on the way home.
The burner of the heating switches on as required, ie when the water in the boiler becomes too cold or the outside temperature becomes too low. In modern systems, for example, one can set to "19°C" and if it is warmer outside, the burner remains out.
But best of all, you'll discuss this with the responsible heating farmer. You need one of those who do annual maintenance.
In addition, the plant is also regularly examined by the chimney sweeper and the emissions are measured.
Thank you for the detailed answer. My heating is probably a little older. I lock them in by hand and ignition and I also have to turn myself on the wheel to set a temperature. There is no central heating unfortunately, and I also doubt that I can set something by phone. As far as I know, there is no night reduction or the like, and I do not know now whether you are heating with gas heaters throughout, or just pointwise when you are at home and frying
Such a fun. It usually does the hot water.
Here there is often – but unfortunately not always – a timer, with old models a box somewhere nearby.
If this thing belongs to you (so you are not a tenant), you need a heating company that makes maintenance anyway. Then you can ask and pick up tips because of the operation.
You should then make electronically controlled valves on the radiators, which you can connect to the HAndy.
The valve would be for radiators.
So you have a kind of gas stove. Things in an apartment are anything but normal. This is what you use in a workshop or in an allotment hut. There's nothing you can do. That's the way it used to be in cars before climatetronic was standard. If you are cold, turn the controller to the right and if you get too warm to the left.
You can't set anything exactly, and that thing should have a terrible efficiency.
But ask the one who makes maintenance how to use it best and whether there are any tricks (except throw away and what to get).
I added a photo
This is not a spa and it does not heat water. I have a separate device that looks much more modern. There is no timer and, as I said, the only thing I can do is to manually actuate the ignition button and then set a number on the wheel. The heating doesn't belong to me and there's someone coming to maintenance soon. However, I do not understand how any electronic valves should replace a mechanically operated wheel that adjusts the flame size.
The heating is so open to you in the apartment? Unusual. Is that a gas oven, just for one room?
Actually self-explaining:
When you eat, you do the thing there and your radiators are active (if the heat does not come directly from the heater).
If you don't need the heating in the warm half of the year, switch it off or on summer operation (if hot water is running over).
How exactly you turn it on, you should let the landlord show you.
Otherwise:
Turn on: Gas tap a little bit, immediately press ignition and when the flame is there, turn the tap further to the desired strength. How strong you have to adjust it, you have to try. In the deep winter more, in the transitional period less. The higher you set it, the more heating power and more consumption.
Turn the gas tap on. Flame wants to go out.
Never leave the gas cock open without a flame!
Summer operation does not seem to exist. That's just how it looks on the pictures.
That's a heater for a room. But my question is more about shorter periods. Does this type of heating always occur in winter, or just occasionally?
How she goes on and off, I know
Just look at it as an oven that is not fired with wood but with gas 🙂
When you touch it, you decide your temperature.
