Outdoor gas heaters are a favourite backyard feature for Kiwis, especially those of us living in the beautiful Bay of Plenty. They offer excellent ambiance, extend the summer season, and let you enjoy your outdoor living space even on brisk days. But buying a gas heater and forgetting about it will not do – this is an appliance that needs a little TLC each year. Here’s everything the team at Mount Maunganui Plumbing & Gas wants you to know about servicing your outdoor gas heater.
1. Outdoor gas heaters should be serviced annually
While some appliances are fine to service every two years, the outdoor gas heater really needs servicing annually. A yearly service will keep outdoor gas heaters working at their optimum level and considerably reduce risk of breaking down.
2. It’ll save you money
By servicing your outdoor gas heater each year, you’ll keep more of your money in the bank. Here in Tauranga and Mount Maunganui, outdoor gas heaters can easily become clogged up with dirt, fur, dust, sand and spiderwebs, and when this happens, they won’t be working at their best. A poorly functioning gas heater leaves you paying more than you should be for heating.
3. Safety is the top priority
Gas appliances are not for the inexperienced homeowner to tinker with. When it comes to natural or LPG gas, it’s important to always work with a qualified, trained, and licensed professional who will provide you with a Gas Safety Certificate.
For the team at Mount Maunganui Plumbing & Gas, safety is paramount when it comes to all things gas. As important as it is to save you money and keep your heater operating well, our very top priority is your family’s safety. Our qualified gasfitters know outdoor gas appliances inside and out. We offer a quality and comprehensive outdoor gas heater servicing, plus we’re available for our customers 24/7, meaning we’re here if any concerns arise even at the most inconvenient time.
4. Four signs your outdoor gas heater needs a service now
If your outdoor gas heater has a very yellow flame, a funny smell, a popping noise, or just an unusually high gas bill, it’s time for a service. Don’t wait for that annual service to roll around; if you notice any of these concerning signs, give us a call straightaway and we’ll figure out what’s going on.
