Why Regular Heater Servicing in Melbourne is Essential

When temperatures can plummet by 10-15°C as a cool change sweeps through, your heater will be working to keep you cosy indoors. This constant cycling between high and low demand accelerates wear on components, lowers effectiveness, and can lead to unexpected breakdowns during those critical cold snaps.

Regular heater servicing in Melbourne can address three critical concerns many of our customers have:

  • Energy Bill Control: With Victorian energy prices among the highest in Australia, an inefficient heater can turn your winter comfort into financial stress.
  • Consistent Comfort: Prevent those frustrating cold spots and uneven heating that plague older homes.
  • Safety Assurance: Protect your family from carbon monoxide risks with thorough testing during every service.

The Hidden Dangers of Neglected Heaters

Many don’t realise their gas heater could be silently producing dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. That’s why our qualified technicians conduct thorough CO testing using the latest equipment during every heater service. Energy Victoria recommends professional gas heater checks every 2 years to be safe.
