How to Maintain Your Gas Hot Water System in VIC

Even though your rental property’s gas hot water system might be reliable for years, regular maintenance is essential for safety, efficiency, and longevity. A well‑serviced system avoids sudden breakdowns, reduces energy costs, and helps prevent hazardous conditions like carbon monoxide leaks.

Regular Servicing Matters

Energy Safe Victoria recommends that all gas‑fired hot water units be serviced every two years by a licensed gasfitter. This helps ensure burners, vents, heat exchangers, and safety controls are functioning correctly.

Maintenance Checklist

  • Clean and Inspect: Debris and dust can block burners and vents, making systems inefficient.
  • Check for Leaks: Professional gasfitters test gas lines and joints for leakage.
  • Safety Controls: Ensure safety switches and heat sensors are working correctly.
  • Carbon Monoxide Testing: Technicians use analyzers to detect dangerous spillage.
