Time To Service your Heater for the Winter
Servicing your wood, gas or electric heater before the winter months in Australia offers a range of benefits and safety for you and your family
Fire Safety
- Fire prevention: For wood heaters, a clean flue and chimney reduce the risk of chimney fires caused by creosote buildup. Gas heaters can have gas leaks or faulty ignition systems that are dangerous if undetected. Electric heaters can also have electrical faults that are dangerous.
- Carbon monoxide detection: A service can ensure that carbon monoxide detectors are functioning correctly, protecting your family from this odorless, deadly gas. This is particularly important for gas heaters.
Heater Efficiency
- Optimal performance: A clean and well-maintained heater will operate at its maximum efficiency, providing more warmth for less fuel.
- Reduced energy costs: By ensuring your heater is running efficiently, you can save money on your energy bills.
Longevity
- Extending the lifespan: Regular servicing can identify and address minor issues before they become major problems, prolonging the life of your heater.
- Preventing costly repairs: By keeping your heater in good condition, you can avoid expensive repairs down the track.
Comfort
- Reliable warmth: A serviced heater is more likely to provide consistent and reliable warmth throughout the winter months, ensuring your home is comfortable.
- Peace of mind: Knowing your heater has been checked and is in good working order can give you peace of mind during the coldest months.
Additional points to consider
- Warranty requirements: Some heater manufacturers require regular servicing to maintain the warranty.
