If you detect the pungent scent of gas, you should turn off the main gas supply valve to your home.

Immediately contact our gas leak detection and repair experts for assistance.

We can also test for carbon monoxide leaks on space heaters, wall furnaces, ducted central heaters, gas water heaters, cooktops, oven, etc. throughout Melbourne and Geelong. Generally, gas heaters cause such leaks when they:

• Have not been regularly serviced or maintained
• Have faulty gas heating units
• Require repair or replacement
• Any old units that do not completely burn the gas

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that can be fatal. If your gas heater displays any of the following signs then you require urgent CO testing as leak may exist in your heating unit:

• Discoloration on or around the heating unit
