How much does a gas heater service cost in Surry Hills?

Do you cover Inner Sydney?

Yes — we service Surry Hills and the entire Inner Sydney area, plus the rest of Sydney. Same-week bookings are usually available.

Do you service wall-mounted, flued or central gas heaters?

No — we specialise in portable gas heaters only (LPG and natural gas portable convection and radiant heaters such as Rinnai Avenger, Rinnai Granada, Everdure, Paloma, Cannon and Real Flame). We don't service wall-mounted, flued, ducted or central gas heating systems.

Does a portable gas heater smell like gas?

A correctly working portable gas heater should NOT smell like gas. A faint, brief smell on the very first start of the season as dust burns off is normal, but a continuous gas smell means an unburnt gas leak — usually the LPG bottle connection, hose, regulator or the heater's gas valve. Turn the heater off, ventilate the room, do not use any electrical switches, and call us — if it's a life-threatening emergency, call 000.

How often should I service my portable gas heater?

Rinnai and other manufacturers recommend a service every 6–12 months — at least once a year, and every 6 months for heavy winter use. If your portable heater hasn't been serviced in the last 12 months, book one before winter.

How much does a portable gas heater service cost in Sydney?

Our standard portable gas heater service starts from $129 and includes a full clean, combustion test, gas leak test on the bottle/hose/regulator and a carbon monoxide check. Repairs and parts (if required) are quoted on the spot.

What does a portable gas heater service include?

Burner and pilot clean, radiant inspection, regulator and hose check, manometer gas leak test, combustion analyser CO test, igniter and thermocouple check, and a written safety certificate.

My portable gas heater won't turn on — what's wrong?

Common causes are an empty or faulty LPG bottle, worn regulator, failed thermocouple, dirty pilot, faulty piezo igniter or blocked burner. Most are simple repairs once diagnosed. Book a diagnostic call and we'll quote on the spot.

My portable gas heater has a weak or yellow flame — is it dangerous?

Yes. A weak yellow or orange flame on a portable gas heater means incomplete combustion, which produces carbon monoxide. Stop using the heater and book a service immediately.

Can carbon monoxide from a portable gas heater really kill you?

Yes. Portable gas heaters burn fuel inside the same room you're sitting in, so a faulty unit can build up dangerous CO levels quickly — especially in a closed room. Carbon monoxide is colourless, odourless and tasteless. Regular servicing and proper ventilation dramatically reduce the risk.

Do you service Rinnai portable gas heaters?

Yes — Rinnai is the most common portable gas heater brand in Sydney. We service every portable Rinnai model including the Avenger 25, Granada 252, Royale, Dynamo and Titan ranges, plus all other portable brands.

Which Sydney suburbs do you cover?

All of Sydney — Parramatta, Sydney CBD, the Inner West, North Shore, Northern Beaches, Eastern Suburbs, St George, Sutherland Shire, Western Sydney and the Hills District. See our service areas page for a full list.

Are you licensed gas fitters?

Yes — every job is performed by a NSW-licensed gas fitter. You receive a compliance/safety report after each service.

5 from 593+ reviews

"Installed a brand-new bayonet wall fitting where the old one was rusted. Beautiful finish, gas tight, and certificate emailed before they left."

"Booked a service for our old Rinnai Avenger — the technician arrived on time, cleaned it inside and out and showed me the carbon monoxide reading before and after. Honest, friendly and thorough. Couldn't ask for more."

"Our portable heater started smelling like gas. They came out the same day, found a worn regulator on the LPG bottle and fixed it on the spot. Super professional — felt safe again straight away."

"I was really worried about carbon monoxide after reading the news. LocalGasHeaterService explained everything clearly, tested our Rinnai Granada and gave us a written safety report. So reassuring."

"Heater wouldn't ignite. Diagnosed a dead piezo in 10 minutes, replaced it and gave the whole unit a clean. Quick, fair price and no upsell."

"Our portable heater hadn't been serviced in 8 years. They cleaned it properly, replaced the thermocouple and now it runs like new. Great communication from booking to invoice."

Why your portable gas heater needs a service before winter

Your portable gas heater burns real LPG or natural gas inside the same room your family sits in. When it's clean and tuned the flame is blue and the air stays safe. When it's dirty or worn it quietly leaks carbon monoxide — you can't see it, you can't smell it, and people have died in their sleep from it across Australia.

Most portable heaters in Sydney homes are 5–20 years old. Dust clogs the burner, seals go hard, radiants crack and regulators wear out. The heater still turns on — it just isn't safe. If yours smells like gas, has a yellow flame, soots the wall behind it or struggles to heat the room, that's the warning. Don't ignore it.

Rinnai and every other manufacturer say the same thing: service your portable gas heater every 6–12 months. Ours starts at $129 and takes about an hour.

Combustion analyser test to detect carbon monoxide
Burner clean — restores the blue flame and full heat output
Radiant & convection check — uneven heat is a warning sign
Manometer test — find leaks on the LPG bottle, hose & regulator
Replace worn seals, thermocouples, igniters and regulators
Written safety report — peace of mind for your family

If yours hasn't been serviced in the last 6–12 months, or it smells like gas, book it in today.
