Out here the heater actually earns its keep

Campbelltown sits inland, and the winters are genuinely cold. Overnight temperatures through the season drop close to freezing.

Which means a gas heater in this district is not decorative. It runs hard, and it runs for months rather than the odd fortnight, and everything inside it wears at the rate it is used.

The part that matters is the heat exchanger. When one cracks, combustion products including carbon monoxide can enter the room instead of going up the flue, and carbon monoxide has no colour, no smell and no taste at all.

People put the headaches and tiredness down to winter. The tell is that it lifts when you go out and returns when you come home. A combustion test takes minutes and is the only way to actually know, which is why we would rather do it in March than in July.

Gas heating and safety in Campbelltown

Cold winters mean hard-worked heaters

Overnight temperatures here get close to freezing through winter, so heating runs for months rather than occasionally.

Use is what wears a burner, the seals and the heat exchanger. A heater doing real work needs servicing on a real schedule.

Carbon monoxide gives no warning at all

It has no colour, no smell and no taste. Nothing about a room tells you it is there, which is exactly what makes it dangerous.

The usual symptoms, headache, tiredness and nausea, get put down to a winter bug. The clue is that they ease when you leave the house.

A cracked heat exchanger is invisible from the front

It is the classic cause, and you cannot see it by looking at the unit. The heater will keep running and keep heating the room.

Only a combustion test at the appliance, with the heat exchanger inspected, will find it.

Some signs are worth acting on

A flame burning yellow or orange instead of crisp blue, soot or brown staining, a pilot that will not stay lit, heavy condensation on the windows when it runs.

Any of those means stop using it and get it checked. None of them absent means it is fine, which is the part people get wrong.

March beats July

A service before the season costs the same as one during it, and it happens on a day you chose with the house still warm.

Finding a fault on the first genuinely cold night means going without heat while it is sorted, which is the worst possible time to discover it.

What Campbelltown locals ask us before booking a plumber.

Ask us yours Licensed plumbing van covering Campbelltown and the surrounding suburbs

I can smell gas. What should I do right now?

Stop reading and act. Do not touch a light switch, a power point or anything that could spark, and do not use a phone inside the building. Open doors and windows on the way out, turn the gas off at the meter if you can safely reach it, get everyone outside, and ring from outdoors. We answer 24 hours. A gas smell is the one plumbing problem where waiting until morning is never the right call.

Why do you push heater servicing so hard here?

Because Campbelltown winters are cold and the heaters get used properly. Overnight temperatures here drop close to freezing, so a gas heater in this district runs harder and for more weeks of the year than one that gets switched on a handful of times. Everything that wears in a heater, the burner, the seals, the heat exchanger, wears faster with use. A unit that gets a genuine workload deserves a genuine service.

What actually is the carbon monoxide risk?

Carbon monoxide is produced when a gas appliance does not burn cleanly, and it has no colour, no smell and no taste. The danger with an unflued or poorly maintained heater is that nothing warns you. Symptoms get mistaken for winter illness: headache, tiredness, nausea, all of which improve when you leave the house and come back when you return. A cracked heat exchanger is the classic cause and it is not visible from the front of the unit. Testing is the only way to know.

How do you test for it?

We check combustion at the appliance with a calibrated analyser, inspect the heat exchanger, check the flue is intact and drawing where there is one, and confirm the room has the ventilation the appliance actually requires. It takes a fraction of the time people expect. If a unit fails, it gets disconnected and tagged rather than left running until somebody gets around to it, and we explain plainly what failed.

What are the warning signs on a heater?

Worth knowing, though none of them are reliable enough to depend on. A flame that burns yellow or orange rather than crisp blue, soot or brown staining around the unit, a pilot that keeps going out, excessive condensation on windows when it runs, and a smell that is not gas but not right either. Any of those is a reason to stop using it and have it looked at. The absence of all of them is not proof it is safe.

Do I get paperwork?

Always, on every gas job, without asking. A Certificate of Compliance is a legal requirement for gas work in NSW and it is your evidence the work was done under licence and tested afterwards. Keep it. Insurers ask for it, and so does anyone buying the house. If a gas fitter does not hand you one, that tells you something important about the work.

What does gas work cost in Campbelltown?

A leak test and make-safe runs $200 to $450. A heater service with combustion and carbon monoxide testing is $180 to $350. Connecting an appliance to an existing point is $250 to $550. A new gas point is $450 to $1,200 depending on the run. The compliance certificate is included on every gas job and is never charged as an extra.
