Replying to Avatar Guy Swann

Woke up this morning, power went out almost immediately.

Me wishing I’d had the gas fire on all night because now I can’t turn it on. Cold af right now 😆😅

Pilot was on, but I thought the switch for the valve was electrical, found out it was a thermal switch just now. Had no idea, lol

Might still be electrical even if not from mains - IIRC some gas burning devices use something like a Seebeck effect (inverse Peltier effect) generator to power the valve.

Gotcha i wasn't meaning there wasn't electricity involved specifically, but that it wasn't connected to the grid and breaker box, etc.

I wasn't criticizing, just an interesting-to-know thing. Sorry if it came across the wrong way.
