From gas heaters to hobs, ovens to cookers, gas appliances are popular among households in Tauranga and Mt Maunganui. However, to keep them working safely and effectively, they require regular servicing from a qualified plumber. Here is your guide to what is involved when the team at Mt Maunganui Plumbing and Gas are trusted with servicing of gas appliances in our customer’s homes.
Who should service gas appliances?
While there are plenty of jobs around the house that homeowners can take on, servicing of gas appliances should only be done by qualified plumbers who have the experience and training to do it properly and safely. Work with a reputable company that has certified tradesmen, uses high quality materials, and offers warranties on their work.
What gas appliances need servicing?
Any gas appliance you have should be serviced regularly. Common ones our Tauranga plumbers see include:
• Gas ovens – favoured for their precise temperature control and even cooking, gas ovens are a popular choice. When it comes to servicing, your plumber will start with a thorough inspection of the oven, check the gas supply and connections, and examine the burners, igniter, and thermostat.
• Gas hobs – if you are a fan of gas hobs you join a long list of chefs who feel there’s nothing better than cooking on gas. Servicing gas hobs will include checking the gas supply and connections, and inspecting the hob’s burners, ignition system, and flame spreader.
• Gas cookers – a combination of a gas oven and gas hobs, it’s unsurprising that servicing gas cookers will follow the same method as servicing of gas appliances in general. This will keep your gas cooker running smoothly and safely.
• Gas heaters – a great way to keep your home warm in winter, gas heaters are loved for their energy efficiency and instant heat. Servicing includes checking the supply and connections, pilot light, burners, heat exchanger and thermocouple. Outdoor gas heaters should also be serviced yearly.
Why do I need my gas appliances serviced yearly?
Safety is imperative when it comes to working with gas to avoid risks such as fire or gas leaks. Having a qualified plumber look out for leaks and replace any necessary parts, you’ll have peace of mind that your appliance is safe to use. Regular gas appliance servicing is also the best way to keep your appliance functioning at its best.
