All unseen and potentially lethal to you and your family
Responsible for 12.3% of childhood asthma cases
In a report released by the Climate Council, heating and cooking with gas are responsible for an estimated 12.3% of childhood asthma burden and cases across Australia. Gas leaks, in particular, are commonly unseen and can put your kids at the highest risk.
What happens when you ignore getting your gas system serviced and checked?
The invisible gas rapidly accumulates in your bloodstream, depleting its ability to carry oxygen to vital organs. It is a bit like suffocation. Long-term exposure — at even lower output levels — can result in brain damage and other chronic health issues.
Have you had your Gas Heating System, Hot Water Service and Cooking Appliances serviced, checked and tested for the past 3-5 years? No? Think again..
By not regularly servicing gas appliances, it creates the risk of a gas leak. What happens next…
Readings over 30ppm can put you to risk. Levels around 200pm send you into a danger zone and create early carbon monoxide (CO) warning signs of dizziness, drowsiness, headaches, and flu-like symptoms. At 400ppm, the situation can become life-threatening after just three hours.
You would be surprised as to how often our techs encounter warning signs on their CO Meter Testers, showing alarming levels of CO leaks in homes and offices.

Gas Risk Statistics

Gas leaks and carbon monoxide present real risks to your home. They are a variety of situations that can cause an appliance to leak natural gas. Either due to age or accidental damage, leaks can occur from cracked joints, corroded seals, faulty connections or broken valves in either the appliance or your gas piping.
You should be aware that gas leaks can build up without the tell-tale gas smell
It is something you CAN’T smell, see and fee!
This is why we recommend an annual Gas Service and Safety Check every year.
