Gas Safety Alert

Energy Safe Victoria has issued a warning for Victorians who live in a property with a Vulcan Heritage or a Pyrox Heritage gas heater not to use it until it has been tested by a qualified gasfitter.

According to Energy Safe Victoria, open flue heaters, like the Vulcan Heritage or Pyrox Heritage space heater, are old technology and have a real risk of carbon monoxide circulating in the home.

All Vulcan Heritage or Pyrox Heritage space heaters have been withdrawn from sale and they are no longer being manufactured.

“This is a timely reminder that everyone should have indoor gas appliances, especially heaters, checked by a qualified gasfitter every two years,” Mr Fearon (Director of Energy Safety Victoria)

Ristic Real Estate has negotiated a deal with our preferred Plumber, offering our clients a service, clean and carbon monoxide check for $177. Contact your property manager if you would like us to arrange this for your investment property.
