As the cold of another Melbourne winter has set in, people have been using their heaters more than usual. Older heater models are working overtime and pulling in much more dust through the heating system, which can cause problems.
Heating manufacturers recommend a gas heater service every two years to ensure your heater operates efficiently and safely for you and your family.
There are many reasons why a heater may stop working and it requires an expert to diagnose the issue and provide repair options. Just as there are numerous causes for heater failure, there are also many solutions to repair, replace or investigate the problem.
It’s crucial to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the unit’s longevity and to prevent any potential risks to your safety while keeping you comfortable.
Our primary safety concern is whether your heater is leaking carbon monoxide into your home. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly toxic substance that can significantly impact indoor air quality. It can be released from sources such as tobacco smoke, malfunctioning fuel-burning appliances (like wood, kerosene, natural gas, or propane stoves and heaters), and obstructed flues linked to these devices. CO poisoning is a leading cause of fatal air poisoning in various countries.

Made me feel as ease with the whole process! If you got Duncan at your service, you’re in good hands! 🙌”.
Five-star review: “I used O’Shea to remove a small gas wall heater in my living room. Scott came out to quote the job and Duncan turned up to do the work. Both very nice guys. The work was undertaken efficiently, in good time, and Duncan cleaned up nicely at the end! All good”.
