Ecogas stoves - why is it important to clean them regularly?
Every owner of an eco-pea stove wants his boiler to run smoothly and efficiently. However, for this to happen, it is necessary to clean it regularly. Otherwise, the efficiency of the stove will significantly decrease, which will consequently lead to more used eco-pea, generating unnecessary costs. Over time, the flue may become clogged, causing the stove to smoke and professional cleaning will be necessary. In addition, the lack of systematic cleaning will cause air pollution and affect the degradation of the environment. More toxins are emitted.
Regular care of the eco-pea stove is a guarantee for extending its life. The boiler then works more efficiently and fully performs its function, moreover, it is safe for household members. In addition, it is efficient, so that it does not use more fuel than necessary. A properly cared for furnace will be a guarantee of efficiency and safety, which is why it is so important to regularly clean not only the furnace, but also the entire heating system.
How often to clean an eco-pea stove?
Caring for an eco-pea stove is a necessity, so it is useful to know how often it should be done. The frequency of cleaning largely depends on several factors.
