Gas is highly flammable, if you smell gas you need to treat the situation with urgency. Follow these steps if you suspect that you have a gas leak:

1. Locate your gas meter, this is usually located at the front of your house in a metal box.
2. Open the box and you will find the main gas valve (usually has a yellow handle), turn the handle 90 degrees, so that it is perpendicular to the gas pipe.
3. Call ASAP Trades and we will have one of our technicians to your door ASAP!

Our licensed Gas Fitters will ensure that everything in your gas installation is 100% up to code, this includes testing your gas installation with specialised equipment to ensure there are no leaks. Upon completion of the gas work, ASAP Trades will issue a Notice Of Completion (NOC) to Energy Safety stated that all work has been completed up to the Australian Standards.

Proper maintenance of gas appliances is crucial to maintain proper operation of the appliance. Neglecting gas appliances can lead to health hazards and increase the likelihood of fire, and the consumption of carbon monoxide. It is crucial to have your gas appliances serviced yearly to ensure that there are no leaking components, and to ensure that the gas is being burnt correctly, older appliances have a higher risk of incomplete combustion which can create the very harmful Carbon Monoxide.
