When carbon monoxide is inhaled, it replaces the oxygen in your blood.

 

We recommended you get your Everdure gas heater serviced when…

      • The pilot light goes out unexpectedly, or you hear a ‘pop’ or ‘bang’ when it is being lit.

      • There is a bad or foul, chemical like odor (smell of gas)
      • There are signs of heat damage, such as heat discolouration of the walls or the heater panels. Or the walls are too hot to touch with the heater on.
      • Your pilot flame is frequently turning off.
      • There is irregular sound coming from the fan.
      • There are soot stains around your heater.
      • Your eyes get irritated when your heater is on.

Gas heater does not stay lit

Gas heaters have a component known as a thermocouple which is located near the pilot light. The gas heater thermocouple acts as a safety mechanism and will shut off the flow of gas if your heaters pilot light goes off. This could be due to thermocouple wear and tear, which could require your thermocouple to be replaced. There could also be a buildup of debris or blockages which could also be the cause. During your gas heater service our gas heater technician will clear and remove any blockages and will advise your if your thermocouple is faulty and requires replacement.

Gas heater pilot light wont stay lit

Flickering and faint pilot lights may be due to gas pressure and insufficient levels of gas flow. Another cause could be that the tip of the pilot has become corroded and as a result will block the flow of gas through the supply line. During your gas heater maintenance the heater technician will check and rectify any gas pressure related issue.

 

Pilot light flame is yellow

Gas heaters have a pilot light which is usually located at the front and normally has a bluish colour flame.

If the pilot light flame is yellow, this could would indication that there is a combustion issue and could indicate that there could be carbon monoxide being emitted.  Carbon monoxide is poisonous and can be fatal so it is essential that you immediately switch off your heater and have your gas heater repaired.

 

Gas smell coming from heater

This is extremely serious and you should shut off your heater right away. Turn off the gas supply, and avoid using anything that may spark a fire. Call us ASAP to get this problem resolved.

 

Rotten egg like smell coming from gas heater

This indicates a serious issue. Your gas heater fan motor or the circuit board may be fried causing you gas heater to overheat. Normally your gas heater will be able to detect the overheating and will shut down on its own, however, if your heater’s sensors fail, your heater may not switch off which would lead to your heater becoming a potential fire hazard. Switch off your heater immediately and call for a gas heater technician.

 

Smokey or burn like smell coming from your gas heater

If you gas heater has not been used for a while you could initially get this smell as it is usually due to the built up dust on burners burning and should go away.

 

Gas heater has a burning rubbery smell

This is usually an indicator that there are worn out parts in your gas heater. Call for a gas heater service to resolve this issue as letting the issue continue could end up being costly.

 

Gas Heater Filter Cleaning (DIY)

To ensure good operation of your heater regular gas heater maintenance is essential. Generally all gas heaters with a fan will have filters that require regular cleaning.  Cleaning your gas heater filter can be done by removing the external filters and washing them with soapy water. If your filter becomes blocked, the gas heater filter indication will be displayed or the gas heater filter light will flash on and off.

 

Gas heater is leaking gas

One of the most notable signs if your heater is leaking gas is if you smell it coming from your heaters air vents. If you notice the smell of gas, shut off and disconnect your heater and open all the windows and doors in your home and call us on 1300 35 10 10 for a gas heater service near you.

 

Gas heater conversions to LPG or Natural Gas

LPG (propane) and natural gas (methane) heaters operate at different gas pressure and require different gas to oxygen ratios therefore, the orifices (jets), valves and regulators will need to be changed (converted) to meet your needs.

 

Gas Heater Burners

During your gas heater maintenance, our gas heater technician will check for blockages in your burners. The burners will be cleaned and checked to ensure proper operation. Burners blocked with dirt can result in improper combustion, leading to soot build up inside your heater.

 

Gas Heater Hoses and Bayonet Point

Our gas heater technician will inspect your gas heater hose and bayonet point and will conduct a gas leak test and will be examined for damages and blockages. Faulty bayonet points or gas heater hoses should always be replaced.  Gas heater hoses can be replaced with either a 1.5m or 3m gas heater hose.

Why you should service your Everdure gas heater

Harmful gases such as carbon monoxide can be released from unflued gas heaters. When breathed in, carbon monoxide displaces

oxygen in the bloodstream and deprives the heart, brain and vital organs of oxygen.

To prevent any exposure to harmful gasses, it is important to ensure:

    • your heater and gas supply are certified, properly installed and regularly serviced

    • the room where your Everdure heater is situated is well ventilated

    • your Everdure gas heater is turned off when you leave home or work

    • children are supervised around heaters

Using your Everdure gas heater safely

      • Make an appointment for your gas heater service yearly. While all heaters will require a regular service, the older the model the more attention it will need.
      • Ensure your room is well ventilated.
      • Clean your Everdure heater filters regularly when turned off to reduce build up of dust.
      • Don’t leave your heater running when you are not at home or when you go to bed.
      • Be mindful not to keep aerosols or pressure pack cans near your heater
