We know heater servicing probably isn’t the most exciting job on your to-do list. But as the chill settles in across Albury-Wodonga, it’s one that’s well worth ticking off.
Every winter, we get calls from local families whose heaters have stopped working — or are showing signs that something isn’t quite right. In some cases, systems are found to be releasing low levels of carbon monoxide. It’s a colourless, odourless gas that’s tricky to detect without proper testing, which is why regular servicing is so important, especially for gas heaters.
Most of the time, these issues come down to one thing: the system hasn’t been checked in years.
Why Servicing Matters
Heaters often get overlooked until something goes wrong. But staying on top of maintenance helps your system run safely, efficiently, and reliably through the colder months.
If it hasn’t been looked at in over 12 months, there’s a risk of hidden faults that could impact your home’s comfort, safety and your power bill.
When you book a heater service in Albury-Wodonga with Tonkin, our licensed heating and cooling technicians take a thorough, safety-first approach. Depending on your system and service level, we’ll cover things like:
- A detailed multi-point system inspection
- Gas pressure testing
- Airflow and ventilation checks
- Carbon monoxide and electrical safety checks
- Duct and grill inspections
- Battery replacement and usage tips (as needed)
It’s more than just avoiding breakdowns, it’s about keeping your home warm, safe and stress-free all winter long.
How Often Should You Book?
Every 12 to 24 months is a solid rule of thumb, ideally before winter sets in. If your heater has been idle since last season, now’s the time.
Our local team services a wide range of systems. From ducted gas and split systems to reverse cycle, space heaters and gas log fires — right across Albury-Wodonga and surrounding areas.
Not Sure if It’s Time? Here Are a Few Signs:
