Faulty gas appliances can lead to poor performance, high energy bills, gas leaks, or even safety hazards if left unchecked. Over time, wear and tear, blocked burners, or faulty connections can affect how your gas appliances operate—putting your household at risk.
Regular gas appliance service helps detect issues early, ensure safe operation, and keep your systems running efficiently. Whether it’s a gas cooktop, oven, heater, gas hob, gas furnace, or gas hot water system, proper servicing reduces breakdowns, extends lifespan, and ensures compliance with safety standards.
At Tuffnell Plumbing Drainage & Gas, we provide licensed gas appliance servicing and repairs for homes and residential properties. We use the right tools and follow strict safety protocols to ensure every job is done properly. Here’s what we do during a typical gas appliance service:
Minor gas appliance issues—like weak flames or unusual smells—can quickly turn into serious safety hazards if ignored. A faulty gas hob, furnace, or gas hot water system may lead to leaks, carbon monoxide buildup, or full system failure. Timely gas appliance repair helps prevent breakdowns, reduce safety risks, and restore proper function.
Flickering Flames or Yellow Flame Tipsz
If your gas appliance shows yellow or flickering flames instead of steady blue ones, it’s a sign something isn’t burning properly. This could be caused by blocked air intakes, dust buildup, or poor gas flow. Left unchecked, it may lead to dangerous carbon monoxide exposure.
Ageing or Outdated Appliances
Older gas appliances may not meet current safety standards and often break down more frequently. They’re more likely to leak, overheat, or operate inefficiently. Replacing or upgrading outdated appliances improves safety and performance.
Appliances Struggling to Ignite or Stay On
If your heater, hot water system, or gas oven won’t ignite or keeps turning off, there may be a fault in the ignition system or gas supply. These problems often get worse over time and can lead to full appliance failure. It’s also a sign that the appliance may need a service or part replacement.
Overdue or Missed Servicing
Gas appliances need regular servicing to operate safely and efficiently. Missed servicing can lead to blocked parts, poor performance, and safety risks. Without a proper safety check, faults can go unnoticed until the appliance stops working.
If you notice any of these issues, don’t wait. Gas appliance faults can lead to safety hazards, poor performance, and higher running costs.
