Why regular gas appliance servicing matters
Your gas appliances work hard for your home. Whether it's your heater battling through Melbourne's chilly winters or your hot water system providing endless hot showers, regular servicing isn't just about performance - it's about safety.
Energy Safe Victoria recommends annual servicing of all gas appliances to prevent dangerous carbon monoxide leaks and ensure optimal performance. Just like your car needs regular check-ups, your gas appliances need professional care to stay safe and efficient.
Our comprehensive gas servicing
We service all types of gas appliances including:
- Ducted heating systems
- Space heaters and wall furnaces
- Hot water systems
- Cooktops and ovens
- Gas fireplaces
Safety first approach
Gas appliance safety isn't something to take chances with. Our qualified gas fitters are fully licensed and trained to spot potential issues before they become dangerous problems. We test for carbon monoxide leaks, check ventilation, and ensure all safety systems are working correctly.
Warning signs your gas appliances need servicing
Gas heating systems
When your gas heater starts making odd banging, whistling, or rumbling noises, it's telling you something's not right. Unusual smells, especially during startup, can signal serious issues. If you notice yellow or sooty flames instead of crisp blue ones, or if some rooms are warmer than others, it's time for a professional check. A pilot light that keeps going out isn't just annoying - it could indicate a serious safety issue.
Hot water systems
Nothing's worse than an inconsistent hot water system that leaves you shivering mid-shower. If your water temperature is all over the place, or you're hearing concerning knocking sounds from your hot water unit, don't ignore it. Poor hot water pressure and pilot light problems often mean your system needs urgent attention - these issues typically get worse over time, not better.
Gas cooktops and ovens
Your gas cooktop should ignite quickly and easily with steady, blue flames. If you're struggling to light burners, seeing uneven or yellow flames, or noticing any gas smell during operation, these are red flags. While a slight gas smell when first igniting is normal, any persistent odour needs immediate professional attention. After all, you shouldn't have to fight with your appliances just to cook dinner.
Outdoor gas BBQs
Your barbie should be ready for action whenever those sunny Melbourne days call for outdoor entertaining. If you're noticing rusty burners, inconsistent flame patterns, or having trouble with the ignition, don't risk ruining your next backyard gathering. Cracked or perished gas hoses, loose connections, or any sign of gas leaks need immediate attention - because a dodgy BBQ can turn dangerous fast. Regular servicing helps keep your BBQ performing at its best, ensuring those snags cook perfectly every time.

What people say about After Hours Plumbing
I am very happy with Nathan’s quality work and his service. He was incredibly prompt, arriving shortly after I reached out about a pipe leakage issue in my house. His customer service was top-notch, he kept me informed every step of the way, explaining the process and ensuring I understood what needed to be done.Not only did he fix the pipe leakage with diligence and great attention to quality, but he also helped me with my kitchen tap while he was here and resolved it on the spot! Additionally, he provided me with a reasonable quote for replacing my aging hot water system, which I’ll definitely consider in the near future.I highly recommend Nathan for anyone looking for professional, reliable, reasonable and efficient plumbing services.Great work Nathan!
We have no hesitation in recommending Nathan. His work was thorough, professional and meticulous. He clearly takes great pride in his work.

He is an excellent communicator and kept us in the loop re: arrival time etc.Thanks Nathan, Peter and Yvonne.
