Using gas safely and maintaining gas appliances

It is the responsibility of the household owner to ensure the gas installations they own and operate are safe.

Regularly inspect and maintain your gas appliances. Having them serviced by a licensed gas fitter every two years will ensure they operate safely and efficiently.

If you notice flame abnormalities, such as a predominantly yellow flame, soot deposits or strange smells, or have any other reason to suspect the appliance is unsafe call a gas fitter to check the appliance.
