If anyone knows anything about this, please let me know.
I made an appointment with SoCal gas to have the pilot light in my apartment fireplace turned off for the summer
We live in an apartment and the main gate is always locked. Will the technician call me on my cell phone when he arrives ? I was wondering how he would get in after making the appointment?

fireplace ? a fireplace that you light with wood ? there is a pilot ? I don't think there is
or a gas heater ? if it is a gas heater you can open the bottom door and turn on the main gas valve and it will shut off the gas
# I wonder if 2 knows what he is talking about ?.

Kojien :

Danro [fireplace]

A furnace for heating a room by lighting a fire. Especially one built against a wall.


and I think Topix is referring to a gas heater for heating.


Topi,

A gas heater ( fireplace ) fitted in each unit of an apartment should have a pilot light ( one flame gas tap ) on that individual heater You can turn it on and off yourself if you want. If so, you can turn it on and off yourself.

However, this is not something you should do on your own, so you should probably consult the manager of the apartment before consulting the gas company.

So what do you call a fireplace in Japanese? I can understand if it's a heater in Japanese, but only you would call it a fireplace

turning off the main gas valve is not something you should do ? ? ( lol ) construction work ( lol )
I bet you won't admit your mistake even if you are told ~ that's why your family hates you Pensioners really don't have any common sense!

We live in an apartment and the main gate is always locked I think this is where Topy is wrong. Normally heating heaters in apartments should be installed in each unit. That's how it was in the apartment I lived in. With central heating for the entire apartment building, the residents in each unit would have very different usage rates, and the residents who saved money on their heaters would lose money. If your apartment was central, please disregard my opinion. If that entire apartment is centrally heated, it is not something that can be controlled by the individual residents. The gas pilot light must be on 365 days a year because sometimes only one resident needs heat during the hot and cold sensitive seasons.

You are ashamed of yourself as an adult for not correcting your insanity of not knowing the difference between a fireplace and a heater
and then posting your insanity to the world
you are mistaken, there are plenty of communities with apartments that have gates at the entrance that you have to unlock to get in
why do you keep talking about central heating when you are talking about that? I don't know why he keeps talking about central heating when he's talking about that
He's not good at this.

Was I talking about "turning off the main gas valve" ?

I think we were talking about the pilot light.


Either way, SoCal Gas Company says those "don't turn them on and off by yourself, always call the Gas Company".

There is no valve for the pilot light ~
You have to close the main valve to turn off the pilot ~
Look at your own house
You have to close the main valve to turn off the pilot
This old man does not know Japanese. This old man doesn't know Japanese, he doesn't know how gas heating works, and yet he's all, "Oh, come on, I googled fireplaces, what pictures did I see ? I saw wall heaters ~ ?
Anyway, I made a mistake, sorry, it's common sense. What some people do
I'm a bad adult

My heating furnace has a switch for pilot ignition? There is something like that though. I close it and turn it off in the summer.

The guy upstairs said I shouldn't shut it off and turn it off by myself in the summer, he wants the gas company to come
The advice is super poop, it's not possible ~ ~.

There is a difference between a house built about 60 years ago and a gas heating system built and installed 10-20 years ago.

Because there are still quite a few 50- and 60-year-old houses left in Los Angeles.

Turning the Pilot Light on and off can be very dangerous if you do not know how to do it.

Please consult with SoCal Gas Company. If you make an appointment, an attendant will come to you.

It is dangerous to turn it on and off.

I replaced my 50 Galon Gas Water Heater by myself a few years ago, but the pilot light was very different from the old one, so it was very hard to see and I had to call the gas company to check.

Turning on and off the pilot of a gas heater is easy
There are usually instructions on the heater
When you turn it off, you can easily find the main gas valve, which we all know will turn off the main gas supply and turn off by itself.
When on, even if you open the main valve, no gas will be supplied unless the pilot is lit and heat is generated
This design prevents gas from being left on if the pilot is turned off by wind or other causes
When on, open the gas valve and press the push button at the end of the pipe connected to the pilot. When it is on, the gas is supplied to the pilot by opening the gas tap and pressing the push button at the end of the pipe that is connected to the pilot.
It's just that simple.

Replacing the water heater by yourself ? I know you are bragging about it, but no sensible person should do a job that requires gas piping by yourself.
It is natural to ask the gas company to come and do the work, and to suggest that it is the same as the pilot is really at the wrong level
You still don't have any common sense.
