Before Winter
Why a Heater Needs Regular Servicing
A gas heater sits unused for most of the year in Perth. Dust settles on the burner, insects and leaves find the flue, and hoses dry out in the summer heat. The first cold night is when those problems show up.
A heater that isn’t burning cleanly can give off carbon monoxide, a gas you can’t see or smell. A service checks the heater burns and vents the way it was built to. Gas heater servicing sits alongside the other gas fitting jobs Epi does under gasfitting permit GF24860.
A heater that is looked after also tends to run better. A clean burner and clear filters help it heat the room the way it should.
Rental homes need looking after too. Epi can supply photos and a written job report after a heater service, ready for a landlord or property manager’s records.
Warning Signs
Signs a Gas Heater Needs Attention

Yellow or Lazy Flame
What you noticeFlames that burn yellow or orange, flicker a lot or lift off the burner.

What to doBook a service to check the burner, filters and gas supply.

Epi was quick and efficient. Changed out the tap and noticed that one of the other hoses under our sink was worn. Caught it before it burst and saved us a big clean up and bill. Good quality work and reliable, use him for all our maintenance and Reno's from now on.
Had my whole house in Yanchep plumbed by him and his team and couldn’t be happier with the work. Great service, quality workmanship and easy to deal with throughout the job. Would happily recommend them to anyone needing a plumber!
Outstanding Service – Highly Recommended
I couldn’t be happier with the service provided. From start to finish, the plumber was professional, reliable, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. The quality of the workmanship was excellent, and everything was completed with great attention to detail.
They took the time to explain the work clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure everything was done properly. It’s refreshing to deal with someone who takes pride in their work, genuinely cares about their customers, and goes above and beyond expectations.
If you’re looking for a trustworthy plumber who delivers quality work and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend them. I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again.
Top class service from start to finish, highly recommend!
What Gets Checked
What a Heater Service Covers
Every heater is a little different, so the service follows the maker’s instructions for that model. In general terms, these are the parts that get a look. On a flued heater, the outside end of the flue is checked as well.
Burner & Flame
The burner cleaned and the flame checked so it burns blue and steady.
Flue & Ventilation
Flues and vents checked for blockages so fumes leave the room safely.
Hoses & Connections
Gas connections, bayonet points and hoses checked for wear and leaks.
Gas Pressure
The pressure at the heater checked against what the maker sets.
Safety Features
The pilot and the cut-off that stops gas if the flame goes out.
Filters & Fans
Dust cleared from filters and fans so warm air moves freely.
What to Expect
How a Heater Service Visit Works
Five steps from booking to a heater ready for winter. You know what was done before Epi packs up.
Book Early
Call or send the form with the heater’s make, its rough age and your suburb. Autumn is the best time.
Free Quote
Epi tells you what the service involves and gives you a free quote before the visit.
Check & Clean
The heater is opened up, cleaned and checked to the maker’s instructions.
Test Run
The heater is lit and run, with the flame, flue and safety cut-off checked while it works.
Plain Report
You hear what was checked and how the heater is going, and when the next service is due.
Between Visits
Looking After a Gas Heater
Keep the space around the heater clear, and never dry clothes on it or cover the vents. Vacuum the dust from the grilles before the first cold night. Outside, check the flue isn’t blocked by plants or nests.
Some heaters draw air from the room and send fumes out through a flue. Don’t run exhaust fans, range hoods or bathroom fans at the same time as one of these. They can pull fumes back into the room.
A carbon monoxide alarm near the heater is a good backup. If you aren’t sure whether your heater is that type, or whether the room has enough fresh air, ask Epi at the service.

Common Questions
Questions About Heater Servicing
Plain answers about how often, when to book and what a service involves. Can’t see your question? Call or send the form.
How often should a gas heater be serviced in Perth?
Building and Energy says as the maker instructs, or at least every two years. A heater older than 10 years needs a gas heater service every year.
When is the best time to book a gas heater service in Atwell?
Autumn, before the first cold nights. A gas heater service booked early means the heater is checked and ready when you need it.
What happens during a heater service?
The heater is cleaned and checked to the maker’s instructions, then lit and run. The burner, flue, hoses, connections and safety features all get a look. If anything needs more than a service, you hear about it before any further work.
Do you service LPG heaters as well as natural gas?
Yes, Epi’s gas permit covers both natural gas and LPG. The service follows the maker’s instructions for that model either way. Have the make and model handy when you book, as it helps Epi plan the visit.
Can a gas heater give off carbon monoxide?
Yes, a faulty or poorly maintained gas heater can. Carbon monoxide has no colour or smell, which is why servicing and a carbon monoxide alarm both help. If you feel unwell near a heater, turn it off, get fresh air and see a doctor.
What if the service finds a problem?
Epi explains what he found in plain words and whether the heater is safe to keep using. If more work is needed, you get a free quote first.
