The winter chill certainly set in throughout Central Victoria this weekend. Did the icy conditions entice you to turn your gas heater on for the first time this season? This then begs the questions – how long has it been since your gas heater was last serviced? Did you know that manufacturers and gas fitters alike recommend yearly servicing of your gas heating. Here are our top five reasons as to why this is so important:
1. INCREASE EFFENCIENCY AND SAVE MONEY
Ensuring your gas heater is clean and free of dust and cobwebs will enable optimal performance, reducing gas wastage and providing you with savings on your next gas bill which we all know can be astronomical.
2. GET A GREATER LIFESPAN FROM YOUR HEATER
Keeping your gas heater clean and well maintained will ensure its longevity to warm your home.
3. CLEANER AIR CIRCULATING THROUGHOUT YOUR HOME
Get cosy on the couch knowing that the air you and your family are breathing is crisp, clean and doesn’t contain dust particles.
4. KEEP YOUR FAMILY SAFE
Routine servicing can not only prevent fires, but also ensure your family are not being exposed to carbon monoxide poisoning which can be lethal. This dangerous pollutant is not easily detected as it has no smell or taste and is invisible. A regular service of your gas heating can ensure the safety of your family.
5. IT’S TIME TO UPGRADE
All gas heaters have a limited lifespan and you may not be aware of when this has been reached and could be unknowingly placing your family at risk – a scheduled service can uncover such issues. Some heaters are unable to be repaired due to spare parts no longer being available, safety reasons or the cost of repair being too expensive with an upgrade being the most economical option.
