Nothing beats gas for cooking and hot water, but most people don’t give their gas a second thought until it stops working. The pipes are hidden away doing their thing, and every time we push that button or turn on that tap the magic happens. But did you know that it’s good to regularly check your gas appliances and pipes before something goes wrong? We advise annual servicing to ensure everything is working as it should. At Mount Maunganui Plumbing and Gas, we service your gas appliances to ensure there are no issues that may be looming, and ensure the toxic combustion gases are heading in the right direction (out of your home). We are able to visit your home across Mount Maunganui, Papamoa, and Tauranga, and all our staff are fully qualified to work across your gas and plumbing requirements.
When it comes to plumbing and gas you must engage a certified and accredited maintenance person for your regular servicing, and at Mount Maunganui Plumbing and Gas we can guarantee an expert and professional job every time. While gas is a fantastic way to keep your power bill down, whip up delicious meals in a jiffy, and enjoy a relaxing hot bath without breaking the bank, there are risks that should be offset if you want to keep your home and family safe. It’s just not worth the risk to allow gas pipes to degrade as a leak could prove deadly.
When it comes to your kitchen, there are a few things you can keep an eye out for which will give you an indication that it’s time to service your gas stove. The first thing that may signal it’s time to call Mount Maunganui Plumbing and Gas is that your gas is taking a while to light. This may mean that you have a blockage in your gas pipe which is preventing the pilot light from sparking. Oxidation is another issue common to gas appliances, if your pipes become heavily oxidised or corroded there is a chance they will split, so if there are any signs of oxidation it’s imperative you call in gas and plumbing maintenance person.
Another signal that it’s time to call in our plumbers in Mt Maunganui is the colour of the flame, if your water heater or stove pilot light is not lighting up blue you need to have it looked at. A yellowy flame may indicate that the oxygen levels are too high -and this may contribute to blockages in your gas pipes. A great way to avoid having to even look for the signs that your gas could be heading into dangerous territory is to make sure you book a regular service - think about adding this to your calendar when you take your car for its warrant.
