Carbon Monoxide Testing
Even the best-maintained gas appliances can develop faults over time. Freedom Plumbing and Gas offers precise carbon monoxide testing in Donvale, VIC, to help detect hidden leaks before they pose a health risk. Using industry-grade sensors and calibrated detectors, we inspect your heaters, hot water systems, and cooktops for any signs of incomplete combustion. Regular testing can safeguard your household against long-term exposure and support early intervention for faulty units.
We recommend carbon monoxide testing every two years for all properties, especially rentals and older homes with ducted heating systems.
Appliance Replacement & Installation
Installing a new gas cooktop or heater? Freedom Plumbing and Gas ensures all new gas appliances are installed correctly and in line with manufacturer requirements. Our installation service includes gas leak checks, connection pressure tests, and full commissioning to verify the appliance is safe and ready for use.
We work with a wide range of makes and models, including built-in ovens, gas stoves, and outdoor BBQs. If you’re replacing an older unit, we’ll also safely disconnect and cap the previous gas line before installing the new one.
Hot Water System Servicing
Freedom Plumbing and Gas services all major gas hot water systems, including storage tanks and instantaneous units. Regular servicing not only extends the life of your system but also ensures it runs efficiently and safely.
We check burner conditions, thermocouples, valves, and flue systems to make sure everything is functioning as intended. Whether it’s a minor adjustment or a full replacement, our technician will give you a clear explanation of what’s required, with transparent pricing and no hidden costs.
Consumer Line Gas Testing & Repairs
If you’ve noticed low pressure or an unusual gas smell around your property, the issue may lie within your consumer gas line. This is the pipework that runs from your gas metre to each appliance. At Freedom Plumbing and Gas, we offer complete consumer line pressure testing to identify leaks, corrosion, or faulty connections.
We don’t just identify problems; we also provide efficient repairs and upgrades where required. Whether it’s an ageing copper line or a recently disturbed pipe, our gas fitter will ensure everything is safe and up to current code.
Fault Diagnosis & Internal Part Replacement
Gas appliances sometimes stop working without clear signs. Whether it's an intermittent pilot light, sudden shutdown, or strange smell, Freedom Plumbing and Gas provides diagnostic services to uncover the cause of the fault.
We carry a range of common internal parts in our service vehicle, meaning many issues can be resolved on the spot. This includes ignition modules, thermostats, safety valves, and pressure regulators. If additional parts are needed, we’ll source them promptly and return at your convenience to complete the repair.
