Plumbing Service & Repairs

Service and Maintenance

With Melbourne’s erratic weather often referred to as “four seasons in a day,” controlling household temperature is an absolute necessity. Regular servicing & maintenance of your heating and cooling system will ensure that you don’t get stuck baking or freezing inside your home until emergency repair technicians can arrive.

 

With a proper maintenance schedule, you can be confident that your system is operating at peak efficiency all year round, ready to reliably & cost-effectively supply the temperatures you need — whatever the season.

 

We provide residential and commercial plumbing services and maintenance in various Melbourne areas. It is recommended you organise your heating or cooling unit to be serviced every 2 years to ensure optimal operating efficiency and to increase the longevity of the unit to prevent costly and premature failure.

 

This involves many steps including a thorough clean to prevent fire hazard, testing that it is running safely and at full capacity, review of thermostat settings, levels of refrigerant, electrical components, system controls and for gas heaters testing for carbon monoxide leaks.

 

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, highly flammable gas which is not visible, has no odour or taste. It is known as the silent poison as it is potentially deadly to humans and animals if absorbed. If you have gas appliances in your house or rental then you are at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

 

Symptoms include headaches, tiredness, dizziness, nausea, convulsions and possible death.

 

Regular servicing and maintenance will give you peace of mind knowing your unit is running at its peak all year round, thereby lowering your energy costs.

 

We can diagnose your system for leaks and advise when a system has deteriorated beyond the scope of repair and merits replacing.
