Allumage électronique ou intermittent à comparer aux veilleuses continues. On utilise dans de nombreux foyers à gaz une veilleuse pour allumer le brûleur principal. La veilleuse elle-même peut consommer entre 600 et 1500 Btu de gaz par heure et si elle fonctionne continuellement, elle peut considérablement augmenter vos coûts annuels d’énergie [...] D'autres foyers utilisent un allumage automatique, par exemple électronique, ou un autre genre d’allumage intermittent qui élimine la nécessité d’une veilleuse continue en rallumant la combustion du gaz à chaque fois qu'on désire voir la flamme dans le foyer. Lorsque vous prévoyez acheter un foyer à gaz, préférez ceux qui n’ ont pas de veilleuse continuellement allumée. 2, record 1, French, - veilleuse%20%C3%A0%20allumage%20intermittent
