Abstract
There is provided a water heater unit realizing antifreezing of a water tube and the like of a heat exchanger without providing a backwind stopper on an exhaust tube. The water heater unit comprises a heat exchanger for heating water by a combustion heat of combustion means, water temperature sensors for detecting the temperatures of the water tube connected to the heat exchanger and an air supply fan for supplying air to a combustion chamber in which the combustion means is installed. When temperatures detected by the temperature sensors reach a temperature at which freezing of the heat exchanger is expected, the air supply fan is driven to supply air to the combustion chamber and the air is exhausted toward an exhaust port, thereby effecting heat exchange and antifreezing of the water tube.
