Carbon Monoxide Testing for Melbourne Homes
Faulty gas heaters can leak odourless, deadly carbon monoxide. Our licensed gasfitters run a full AS/NZS 5601 compliant CO test on your heater, so your family stays safe all seasons.
Why every gas heater needs a CO test?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is colourless, odourless and tasteless. Energy Safe Victoria recommends gas heaters be serviced and CO tested at least every two years and after any room renovation that may affect ventilation.
Undetectable without testing
You can't see, smell or taste CO. Only a calibrated analyser will reveal a leak before it harms your family.
Heaters degrade over time
Cracked heat exchangers, blocked flues and dust build up can turn a safe heater into a CO source within a season.
Renovations change airflow
Sealed windows, new range hoods or bathroom fans can starve a heater of air and push CO back inside.
A full 7-point gas heater safety inspection
Each test follows Energy Safe Victoria guidelines and AS/NZS 5601. We don't just sniff for CO we measure spillage, combustion ratios and negative pressure across your home.
