The Chairman of the Energy Commission of the Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines, and Agriculture of Iran, referring to the condition of old heaters in the country, announced that 10 million old heaters are in use in the cold regions of Iran, leading to a daily waste of 70 million cubic meters of gas. This issue not only harms the economic and energy sectors of the country but also causes serious damage to the environment.

Given that these heaters usually do not meet modern standards, their efficiency is low, leading to excessive gas consumption. This issue becomes more pronounced during the cold seasons when the demand for heating increases.

Additionally, emphasizing educational programs to raise public awareness about the negative impacts of using old heaters and the benefits of modern heating systems was also among the proposed suggestions.
These measures, together, can help improve the energy situation of the country and reduce energy costs for households. Furthermore, reducing gas waste can contribute to the preservation of the country's natural resources and decrease air pollution.
