Gas fire service once a year is not only a good idea, it may keep you and your family safe from carbon monoxide poisoning.
A gas fire is a gas heater that is used to heat one room or an outside area. Also commonly called a space heater, it runs by burning natural gas, butane, propane or liquified petroleum gas. A gas fir can be flued or non flued, vented or non vented.

Dust, pet hair, and other debris in your home is attracted to heat and often clogs the injectors and pilot assembly unit of your gas fire.
Without a gas fire service, the mixture of oxygen and gas could become imbalanced, causing incomplete combustion. Incomplete combustion produces carbon monoxide. It is best to have the service done once a year.
