New Appliance at home
Gas Water Heater - Yes that is correct a water heater that works on gas (LPG). The claim is that it will consume less amount of fuel to heat the water at least it is claimed to be less than the electric one. We will have to wait and see how true this claim is.
Recently I had been to a consumer exhibition, over there the trend appears to be for whatever one was doing using electricity; use gas and for whatever one was using gas; use electricity. One classic example is use electricity for cooking and use gas for heating water.
This appears to be totally ridiculous to me. This means we have been living completely the wrong way there by wasting a hell lot of hard earned cash. One serious flaw that I find when they calculate the consumption is the amount of subsidy that we are enjoying currently in be it electricity or LPG. the subsidy in LPG is around Rs 250 per cylinder. One day we will not be enjoying the same and believe me that day is not far off. Whenever some economic reform is the order of the day the most hurt will be the middle class and I am very certain that who ever reads this post is in that category.
I can understand why middle class is always targeted. The simple reason is that other two classes are simply out of reach or well protected moreover the yield is huge. I thought of writing explanation here but let me put it in a different post.
I am really skeptic about buying the new appliances which claim to save money. Money is not saved if we don't recover the principle that was invested and interest that would have been earned on the principle that was invested in the appliance.
Please note that all “class” mentioned above are economical and not social.
