Get your gas heater serviced before the winter rush Gas Safety Check. It's really important. Special Price for Autumn: $125
Beware the silent killer. You can’t see it and you can’t semm it, but if you have a gas heater in your home then your family could be at risk from carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odourless, colourless gas that can be produced by faulty, unserviced gas heater. K & J Woolley Master Plumbers can check the gas safety in your home - with a special $125 offer from March and April. Carbon monoxide can be fatal, but it’s easy to protect your family from this silent killer. Victoria’s gas safety regulator, Energy Safe Victoria, and the Plumbing Industry Commission, recommend getting your gas heater serviced at least every two years to keep your family safe. Landlords and their agents have particular responsibilities under the Residential Tenancies Act 197 to ensure gas appliances in
rented accommodation are safe to use and properly maintained. Carbon monoxide can be produced in large quantities if your heater does not completely burn the gas it uses. This can happen for a number of reasons but the most common causes are faults, lack of servicing or a blocked flue. The vdanger is greater when the carbon monoxide is spilling into a bedroom where the door and windows are tightly sealed, or a confined space such as a toilet or bathroom. Carbon monoxide poisoning can be fatal. Nine Victorian lives were claimed between 2000 and 2011, while dozens more people have been treated in hospitals. Call K & J Woolley Plumbers today to organise your Gas Safety Check. It’s really important. Phone 0432 380 886 or 9499 8222.
