Clean your gas room heater
Since June 25th 2021, we are being asked to stay at home with the latest COVID-19 outbreak.
Greater Sydney is settling into winter and it’s wet! So, if you have a gas room heater, now is the time to clean it!
Dust is the thing that diminishes the efficiency of a gas room heater. The simple thing to do is clean and vacuum the air filters and ensure the fans are turning freely.
Most heaters have a service manual that demonstrates how to dismantle, clean and reinstate the relevant parts.
Please remember Safety First.
If you don’t feel confident, call us on 02 9664 4990 for help or arrange for our gasfitters to do a gas heater health check.
Danger of Gas Room Heaters
We opened the heater to have a good look inside and it appeared that the motor had overheated and had started to melt the casing. It was a disaster waiting to happen!
Fortunately there was a tradesman working next door who quickly came on the scene and disconnected the gas appliance from the gas supply, preventing a potential fire!
As the days get colder and we turn to our gas room heating appliances to keep us warm, please dust them and make sure you can disconnect them from your gas bayonet fittings with ease.
