Your Local Gas Expert
If you’re looking for experienced gas fitters, you have come to the right place. Mr Emergency is your local gas appliance installation expert. We can install all your gas appliances.
Worried about the potential dangers of installing a new gas appliance? Well, you should be! Gas appliances combine the double perils of electrical wiring with gas pipes and fittings.
Without the proper training, experience and qualifications the average lay person is, very simply, asking for trouble. Do not risk it. Get an expert from Mr Emergency to handle all your gas appliance installations.
Gas Appliance Connections
Safety should always be a top priority if you’re looking to install gas appliances.
While you might be a handy DIY enthusiast, there are certain new appliances that require professional installation by a qualified gas fitter.
Here’s a quick rundown of which ones fall into that category:
- Gas furnaces: Installing a gas furnace or any type of gas heating involves complex venting and gas line connections. A professional ensures proper ventilation and airtight connections to prevent gas leaks or carbon monoxide hazards.
- Hot water systems: Gas water heaters need precise gas and water line connections. Incorrect installation can lead to leaks, fires, or scalding water. A pro can make sure it’s all done correctly.
- Gas stove and gas oven: These appliances often have intricate gas line hookups and ignition systems. A qualified gas fitter can ensure they’re safely connected, preventing gas leaks or ignition issues. Gas cooktop installation is particularly important.
- Gas fireplaces: Proper venting and gas line connections are crucial for safety when installing a gas fireplace. A pro ensures the flames stay where they should and the fumes go where they should – out of the house. From gas space heaters to ducted systems, we specialise in all forms of gas heating.
- Gas dryers: Just like a hot water system, gas dryers require precise gas line connections. Incorrect installation can pose a fire hazard.
It might also be important to use a professional gas fitter for warranty purposes. DIY installation can void some appliance warranties.
Whatever your gas supply is, either natural gas or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), if an appliance involves gas lines, combustion, or any potential for gas leaks, it’s best to call in a fully licensed gas fitter from Mr Emergency. It might cost a bit more upfront, but the peace of mind and gas safety they provide are well worth it. Remember, put your family’s safety first.
What are the Main Gas Appliance Installation Dangers?
The dangers of installing gas appliances are not something to take lightly. While DIY projects can be satisfying, certain risks come with installing a new gas appliance. Here are the main dangers you should be aware of:
- Gas leaks: Poorly installed gas appliances can result in gas leaks. Even a small leak can be a serious hazard, as gas is highly flammable. A gas leak can affect you in only a few minutes. A professional gas fitter ensures tight connections and leak-free installations. If you smell gas, call Mr Emergency immediately.
- Carbon monoxide poisoning: Incomplete combustion in gas appliances can produce carbon monoxide, a colourless, odourless gas that’s deadly when inhaled. Proper installation and venting are crucial to prevent CO buildup.
- Fire hazards: Incorrectly installed gas appliances can lead to fires. Whether it’s a stove, furnace, or water heater, the risk of ignition is significant if connections are not secure or if there are gas leaks.
- Explosions: In extreme cases, gas leaks can result in explosions. This is a rare but catastrophic outcome that can cause extensive damage and harm to life and property.
- Inefficiency: Poorly installed gas appliances may not operate efficiently. This means higher energy bills and potentially more emissions, which is bad for both your wallet and the environment.
- Voided warranties: DIY installation can void warranties on gas appliances. If something goes wrong down the line, you might not have the manufacturer’s support.
To avoid these dangers, it’s essential to hire a fully licensed gas fitter for the installation of gas appliances. Their expertise and knowledge ensure that your appliances are installed correctly, safely, and in compliance with local regulations, providing peace of mind for you and your loved ones. Safety should always be the top priority when dealing with gas.
