Call your gas plumber in Bendigo

We’ll service your gas heater so you stay safe

Toxic gas from faulty heaters can be a silent killer so it’s important to book a qualified gas plumber in Bendigo to service your appliances as winter’s grip tightens across the region.

Gas heaters – from space heaters and wall units to central heating units – will get a serious work out during the next few months. They’re switched on in the mornings to take the edge off the cold and often keep toiling away until the household goes to bed. Some stay on around the clock. But how safe is your gas heater? And how safe are you and your loved ones from the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning?

Harmful CO emitted from a faulty gas heater can trigger a range of serious health problems including headaches, chest pain, nausea, dizziness right up to unconsciousness and death. You can’t see it, taste it or smell it – but it packs a deadly punch.

The best way to reduce the risk of CO poisoning is to get your gas heater professionally serviced every one to two years before winter takes hold.
