Carbon monoxide is a silent killer because it is both odourless and colourless, making it very difficult to detect without proper equipment. This is why Mr Frosty recommends having your gas ducted heater checked every two years to ensure it is not leaking carbon monoxide. This recommendation is also supported by Energy Safe Victoria.
In fact, landlords are legally required to have gas ducted heating systems in rental properties checked every two years. This must be conducted by a licensed gas fitter, such as Mr Frosty.
We provide carbon monoxide testing and gas ducted heating safety checks across Melbourne’s south eastern suburbs, including Hallam and surrounding areas.
So don’t take the risk—if you live in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne, get your gas ducted heating checked every two years to help keep yourself, your family, friends, and pets safe.
