Two-yearly gas safety checks for Victorian rentals

Space heaters in older homes get particular attention because of carbon monoxide risk. Ask for the written check result for your records.

Common questions

How often should a gas heater be serviced in Victoria?
Victoria's energy safety regulator recommends servicing gas heaters at least every two years, especially open-flued space heaters, to reduce carbon monoxide risk. Ask the gasfitter to test for spillage, not just clean the unit.
Can any plumber connect a gas cooktop?
No. The person must be authorised for gas fitting. Check the licence category before booking.
Who moves a gas connection during a kitchen renovation?
A licensed gas fitter handles the gas pipework and appliance connection; the kitchen renovator can coordinate the rest of the job.
