Frequently asked questions

My heater has completely stopped working — what should I do?

How much does a heater breakdown repair cost?

Fixed price of $250 + GST + parts. No matter how long the diagnosis and repair takes, the labour charge stays the same. We'll always advise you of parts costs before proceeding.

What are the most common causes of a heater breakdown?

The most common causes are ignition system failures, faulty gas valves, blown capacitors in the fan motor, failed control boards and blocked heat exchangers. Our technician carries parts for the most common faults.

Is it safe to use a heater that keeps breaking down?

Not always. Recurring breakdowns can indicate a failing heat exchanger, which can allow carbon monoxide to enter your home. If your heater is breaking down repeatedly, have it professionally inspected before using it again.
