minus-squareShadowAlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·1 year agoThat’s how all hot water heaters work. His just uses natural gas instead of electricity.

minus-squareFiveMacslinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoNone that requires the house electricity. Piezo, batteries easily work.
minus-squareASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoSome use a 9v battery on their starter. Regardless, you can just use a match if you want to. In either case, they don’t require mains power. (Sure, there are different models, etc. but it’s not a requirement that all have an electric start, or a mains electric start)
