If you own a gas appliance or heater, it is vital that you have your appliance tested for Carbon Monoxide every two years.
Known as the ‘silent killer’, carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas that can cause sudden death or illness. It is highly poisonous and is produced when natural gas or LPG burns. In a common household, it is usually found in gas barbeques and fireplaces, gas cookers and heaters, gas stoves and chemical heaters. The gas can build up in enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces, and can affect the health of people and animals in these spaces. Humans’ cannot recognise when carbon monoxide is present, which is why it is so deadly. Therefore, it is essential to have your gas heater serviced by a licenced professional every two years to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide in your home.
At Albury Gasworks, our professional team of licenced gas fitters use highly innovative equipment to service your gas appliance at your request. A regular maintenance service consists of checking the working order of your gas appliance, inspecting for any faults and measuring the levels of carbon monoxide that your heater emits. Utilising state of the art, German-engineered Testo Carbon Monoxide Detectors, our technicians will examine the levels of Carbon Monoxide in your home, issuing a printed receipt type analysis. (Smoke test) We also then check the exhaust system and clean the appliance to ensure that all gases are discharged correctly and free from any dust particles.
When used appropriately, gas appliances and heating are a convenient and cost-effective way to heat your home.
