Signs of Danger in Old Gas Heating Systems
As winter grips Australia, nearly half of households depend on mains gas for warmth, yet many neglect crucial maintenance. A major report to the Federal Government reveals a concerning lack of awareness about carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning risks among consumers. While the South Australian Government has highlighted the importance of proper ventilation, the danger has grown due to improved thermal sealing in renovated homes with older gas heaters.
Faulty, poorly maintained, or incorrectly installed gas heating systems can produce high levels of CO due to incomplete combustion. This issue often surfaces in early winter when heaters are reactivated. The South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service emphasizes that gas heaters must be installed and serviced by qualified tradespersons to prevent CO leaks. Minor issues like a rusty flue or a weak flame can signal significant safety hazards. Broken seals and cracked ducting, often hidden, may only be discovered when gas bills soar.
If you suspect issues with your gas heating system, don’t wait. Contact En3rgy Solutions for a professional inspection and ensure your family’s safety this winter.
Protecting Vulnerable Families
Winter is particularly perilous for families, especially pensioners, who rely heavily on gas heating. Drowsiness or mild nausea after using a heater can indicate early stages of carbon monoxide poisoning. Government authorities urge homeowners to ensure all gas appliances are properly serviced and installed to avoid these risks. Authorities recommend installing carbon monoxide alarms to alert occupants of gas leaks, providing an essential layer of protection for vulnerable individuals.
Safeguard your loved ones this winter. Schedule a professional inspection with En3rgy Solutions to detect any potential hazards in your gas heating system.
