Gas Safety – it could save your life - 28.09.10

The tragic deaths of two Victorian boys aged 7 and 9 from a faulty gas heater in June 2010, reinforces the importance of making sure your gas supply is safe. A gas safety check could literally save your life.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is produced whenever any fuel such as gas, oil or kerosene is burned and at high levels it can kill a person in minutes. You can’t see or smell CO and this is how people die accidentally and needlessly from gas leaks caused by faulty appliances or appliances used incorrectly.

Fresh Living Group has expert gas technicians who can perform gas and carbon monoxide safety tests and repair and replace defective appliances.

Fresh Living Group director Andrew Heath said you can never be too careful when it comes to gas.

"It will give you peace of mind to know that your loved ones are safe, with the added benefits being the appliance will run better, last longer and save you money through lower running costs,” Andrew said.
