Do outdoor water heaters need to be reported to the property?

Yes, when installing a water heater during construction, it may cause damage to the building structure and other factors. Therefore, it must be approved by the residential property company or the original architectural design unit, and the design audit should be carried out according to the relevant standards and specifications, and the procedures such as quality and safety supervision should be handled to ensure the quality and safety before installation.

The correct installation method of outdoor water heater is to extend the exhaust pipe directly out of the window, and it is safest to install it on the outdoor balcony. However, in the actual installation process, some construction workers mistakenly installed the exhaust pipe in the kitchen flue. Because the exhaust gas discharged from the water heater contains a part of incomplete combustion gas, when these incomplete combustion gases fill the whole flue, it may cause an explosion with the increase of flue temperature.
