Based locally in Mernda, Melbourne Gas & Air Conditioning Group provides comprehensive gas appliance servicing and repairs for homeowners across Doreen, South Morang, Epping, and Eltham. Regular maintenance is critical not just for efficiency, but for the safety of your family. Our licensed dual-trade technicians specialize in the servicing of all major gas units, including gas ducted heaters, wall furnaces, gas log fires, and hot water systems. Unlike standard cleaners, we perform a rigorous Carbon Monoxide (CO) safety test with every service to detect silent leaks before they become dangerous. Whether you have a Rinnai, Braemar, or Brivis unit, trust the local team that understands Melbourne’s northern climate to keep your appliances running safely and efficiently.
Just like your car, gas appliances need regular servicing to ensure they’re operating safely, efficiently, and as the manufacturer intended.
Regular servicing doesn’t just extend the life of your system-it helps reduce running costs and catch issues before they become major problems. Appliances that aren’t maintained can burn more gas than necessary and, in some cases, pose safety risks. Servicing also helps identify product recalls, which do occur from time to time. Our licensed gas fitters are trained to spot these during routine inspections and will take the appropriate steps to ensure they’re handled by the correct parties.
At Melbourne Gas & Air Conditioning Group, we take gas appliance servicing seriously. Our technicians follow structured workflows using industry-leading tools and systems to ensure every job meets the same high standard-no shortcuts, no guesswork.
Each client receives a detailed PDF job report after the service, complete with photos and notes documenting the work performed. You’ll see exactly what was inspected, cleaned, or replaced-giving you complete transparency and peace of mind.
Our experienced technicians will inspect, clean and service your appliances to make sure they are safe and efficient. Contact us today to book an appointment!
Servicing your gas appliances isn’t just good practice-it’s essential for safety, efficiency, and compliance
For homeowners, Energy Safe Victoria recommends servicing all gas appliances at least every two years. Regular servicing helps ensure your systems are operating safely, burning correctly, and running efficiently- keeping your energy bills in check and extending the life of your appliance.
For rental properties in Victoria, servicing is more than a recommendation- it’s a legal requirement. Under current regulations, all gas appliances in rental homes must be serviced every two years by a licensed Type A gas servicing technician. Landlords and property managers are required to maintain up-to-date records and certificates of compliance. Failure to do so can lead to substantial penalties and, more importantly, puts tenant safety at risk.
Correct servicing ensures appliances are combusting properly and not producing unsafe levels of carbon monoxide. It also ensures your system is running at optimal efficiency, which directly impacts operating costs.
At Melbourne Gas & Air Conditioning Group, we follow strict servicing protocols and provide a full compliance report with every visit-giving homeowners and property managers complete peace of mind that their systems are safe, legal, and operating at their best.

Unknown to many consumers, not all plumbers can legally service gas appliances.
The servicing of a gas appliance is a specialised class of plumbing that you do not obtain at the end of a plumbing apprenticeship. For a plumber to complete gas service works, they must complete an Australian apprenticeship and then complete further schooling. Once the schooling is complete, they must attend the Victorian Builders Authority office in Docklands for a practical and theory exam.
Given the high demand for plumbers to obtain this additional accreditation, this is quite a slow and lengthy process. Because of this, there are many plumbers completing gas service work unqualified. They may in fact know what they are doing, and be competent, but if they have not successfully obtained the accreditation from the VBA, they cannot complete this work, do not have insurance, and you, the consumer, are in a jeopardised position.
Even the most experienced gas fitters can make mistakes. You want to ensure that you engage the correct company/person when servicing your gas appliances so you are protected should there be complications.
To protect the consumer, the VBA has created a database online, where anyone can search a plumber’s name to ensure they have the correct accreditation to be working in that field. You simply enter their name, and a list of their accreditations will appear.
