Yes — Victorian rental gas heaters legally require a CO safety check every 2 years under the Residential Tenancies Regulations. Owner-occupiers aren't legally required to test, but Energy Safe Victoria recommends it because faulty heaters can produce CO with no visible warning. We test every gas appliance in the home, not just the heater the rental rule covers.
We measure the CO output at the appliance, check the flue draft and seal, look at the heat exchanger condition, verify combustion air, and inspect the room ventilation. We use a calibrated combustion analyser. The result goes onto a Compliance Certificate that you can give to your tenant, your insurer, or keep for sale settlement.
Someone over 18 needs to be on site so we can run each gas appliance under load and walk you through the result at the end. The test usually takes a single visit. Tenants can be on site instead of the owner — we lodge the certificate with the registered owner regardless.
Yes. Every CO and gas-safety check ends with a BPC-issued Compliance Certificate that lists each appliance tested, the readings, and pass/fail status. Insurers and rental authorities ask for this certificate when something later goes wrong.
