Gas appliances, after installation, become part of the house and tend to be neglected and forgotten until something goes wrong or they stop working.
Like other machines, gas appliances become inefficient, unreliable and may even pose a safety hazard if not serviced regularly.
To maintain their safe use and condition, appliances require regular servicing by trained competent gas fitters.
FOR SAFETY’S SAKE, GET IT SERVICED!
Common problems where appliances are not regularly serviced are:
- Air filters, air ways, fans and burners can become blocked by lint and dust, leading to overheating and burner problems which can produce carbon monoxide.
- Safety controls can wear out and fail.
- Always follow the manufacturer’s service plan and note the date of service on the service sticker.
WHEN TO SERVICE
- Manufacturers recommend service periods for their appliances and these should be observed.
- Generally, it is recommended that appliances are serviced at least every two years. If the appliance is more than 10 years old, they should be serviced annually.
- Always check that the Manufactures instructions are provided and always read and follow the instructions before checking the appliance.
