Pellets or Natural Gas in place of Fuel?

[Targol]

That’s nice, pluesy, it reassures me to say that I am not foot and fists linked to GDF for another 20 years. I assume that to switch to methane or hydrogen it is enough to change the burner (s)?
However, on a boiler like this (stuffed with electronics), it may also be necessary to "patch" the program ... more complex, that.

Besides, speaking of electronics, when I chose gas, it was shortly after the storm of 99 when half of France was left without heating because without electricity. I said to myself "at least with a gas boiler, I would have heating and hot water even if I no longer have electricity" ... TUUUUUUT ... Wrong answer. I discovered when it was installed that my boiler needed an electrical supply (admittedly low - 10A) to operate. Result: even with a gas boiler, there is no hot water in case of EDF cut

Hello
invested in a converter and with the battery of your car you can start your boiler.

Thanks Zac, I hadn't thought of that. I had thought of a generator but not the converter 12Vcontinu-> 220V alter. And given the price of a group, I found the bill a little salty ...

get a computer inverter, often throw away because hs battery, you power with a car battery, and voila!

Yet another great idea Denis. All the more excellent since at home, for reasons of permanent micro-cuts, I had to acquire a low-end inverter (€ 69).
For that price, I don't think it will last very long.
I will have to check when its batteries are dead that they were supplying 12V.

Are you sure it's reversible ??? A 220 V alt. -> 12 V does not make an inverter 12 = -> 220 V alt .... or did I miss kkchoz ...?

And isn't low voltage enough?
On the old mine, with a permanent pilot light, an indicator light on the on / off button, which activates a 220v circulator ...
It must be feasible a basic converter, just for him, or simply put a 12 or 24 v circulator.

if, if, the inverter computer. is a 12v converter 220v, it keeps the 12v battery charged continuously, the power supply by 12v / 220v converter is only connected if, there is a BREAK, at this point, a relay switches to battery / 220v converter: it is autonomous for 15 to 30mm.
I have been had, I too have micro-cuts.
it's simple the current goes live, as long as there are no problems (that's why it is useless, in the event of micro-cuts) unless the time for switching is very short, but it can be heard snapping + there is an alarm (beeper)) + indicator; if you do not not these indications, the power supply is live
it would require a 220v power supply which comes only from the converter and the 12v battery, and the battery will be permanently recharged independently, but with such a system there are + losses. In my case, when the neighbor starts a grinder, the lamps from 100w drops to a light of 60w, I had to measure - from 200v (up to 180!) ABNORMAL! we pay, I believe for 210 / 240v who confirms? In addition I am poluer by an abnormal radiation of 20 000v the subscription should be free in this case!

Well listen, I was luckier than you with my first price inverter: it must react faster because at home, it works: I hear "clack-clack", the lights flicker but my computer stays on instead of stopping as before
