When to service your gas appliances?
Why kiwi Homes should do regular gas appliance services
Gas is a popular and reliable energy source in many homes throughout New Zealand. It powers everything from hot water systems to gas cooking appliances and central heating. Gas appliances are a key part of the daily life of Kiwi households, and it is important to look after them.
At Bay Brothers, we install, inspect, and maintain various gas appliances throughout the Bay of Plenty. We often notice that many Kiwi homes overlook the importance of regular servicing for gas appliances. Keeping your gas appliance in good condition isn’t about convenience. It’s about safety and cost efficiency.
How often should you service your gas appliance?
We often hear, “How often do we need to service our gas appliances?” It’s a great question, as few Kiwi households know the answer.
Many people are unaware that gas appliances typically require servicing every 1-2 years to operate efficiently. Master Plumbers recommends yearly gas servicing. However, it’s best to check with your manufacturer and follow their recommendations, as these can differ between makes, models, and manufacturers of gas appliances.
Regular servicing shouldn’t be forgotten. It ensures your gas systems are working properly, prevents issues from escalating, and keeps you and your family safe in your home.
Safety comes first, servicing matters!
We perform various gas appliance installations across Tauranga and the wider Bay of Plenty. This includes hobs, free-standing ovens, gas fires, gas califonts / hot water units, gas heaters, and gas central heating, and we also service and repair these appliances.
Unfortunately, we often show up to jobs where existing installations do not meet the gas code. So, if you are moving into a new property, it is always worth having your installation checked and appliances serviced to ensure your safety.
It’s important to perform regular gas appliance services not only for your safety but also to help extend the lifespan of your gas appliances. Faulty gas appliances are a major cause of preventable home incidents, many of which result from insufficient maintenance. Regular checking can detect early signs of gas leaks, inconsistent flames, and unusual odours, which are easily preventable with proper maintenance. This also plays a key role in extending the lifespan of your appliances.
Better efficiency, lower bills
In many Kiwi homes, it’s not well known that if your central heating, gas cooking appliance, hot water, or gas fireplaces aren’t running properly, they will use more energy to get the job done. That means higher gas bills and more wear and tear on your system.
Our team at Bay Brothers will fully inspect your gas appliances that need to be serviced. We will make sure your appliances are performing at their peak. By investing in regular servicing, you extend your gas appliances’ lifespan, less wasted energy, lower operating costs, and reduce the chance of breakdowns.
