Your home is your environment and where you will spend the majority of your life, as such it is essential that you maintain a premium level of indoor air quality for you and your family. Poorly maintained heating and cooking appliances are a primary cause in the increased ‘sick-home’ syndrome that attacks us particularly in the colder months.

Don’t risk your families safety and health this winter, get a winter healthy home check today.

Some of the general health issues that can be attributed to ‘sick-home’ syndrome are:

  • Asthma
  • Respiratory disease
  • Bronchitis
  • Constant headaches
  • Cold and flu type symptoms

More specifically and alarmingly, inefficient and un-serviced gas appliances may be the cause of Carbon Monoxide exposure – The Silent Killer. Every gas appliance must be maintained.

What to look out for

Often mistaken for cold and/ or flu symptoms:

  • Erratic behaviour
  • Headaches or dizziness
  • Breathlessness
  • Nausea
  • Fatigue
  • Pains in the chest or stomach
  • Visual problems
  • Disorientation
  • Loss of consciousness

What can happen?

Dependent on age, existing personal health, CO emission strength and exposure time frame:

  • Breathing difficulties
  • Impaired judgment and memory
  • Damage to the nervous system
  • Cardiac trauma
  • Brain damage
  • Coma
  • Death

Please do not risk it. Have your gas heater or appliance serviced every 18-24months in line with Energy Safe Victoria recommendations.
