Portable Space Heater Plumbing Servicing
Do you own a gas heater in Melbourne?!
Gas heaters are great for keeping warm, but they can be deadly if not maintained properly.
If gas heaters are faulty or poorly maintained, they can leak carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide can be lethal as it can’t be seen and has no smell. It can cause death or chronic illness.
Carbon monoxide poisoning can happen in any home or building with gas heating appliances, including newer ones.
Keep your family safe this winter by arranging a gas heater service today with your local plumber/ gasfitter. Before you book, ask the gasfitter if they have the right equipment to test for carbon monoxide leakage.
Responsibilities for Landlords
