As an efficient and clean energy source, gas has many advantages, such as high energy efficiency, environmental protection, safety, etc. Some old houses have lived for a long time, and for the sake of living comfort, they will consider installing gas, so is it cost-effective to install gas in old houses?What should I pay attention to when installing gas in old houses?
The cost of installing gas in old houses mainly includes equipment purchase, installation costs and later maintenance costs.
