Detector Inspector's gas safety service provides peace of mind that all gas appliances, installations and fittings at a property are safe and compliant.

What is Carbon Monoxide?

Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, toxic flammable gas. When consumed it reduces your blood’s ability to carry oxygen through the body, causing rapid harm to vital organs through oxygen starvation.

Our data reveals that at least 1 in every 10 rental properties has a critical gas safety issue posing a significant health risk to its tenants. In Victoria alone, at least nine people have died from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning since 2000 and hundreds more have been admitted to hospital.

Get the protection you need with our gas safety service

Safety checks of gas appliances, fixtures and installations at least every 2 years keep occupants safe from carbon monoxide leaks and ensure landlords and property managers are fulfiling their obligations. From March 2021, changes to the Residential Tenancies Act in Victoria make these checks mandatory.

Our services are carried out by a gas fitter with Type A Servicing accreditation, supported by our advanced workflow technology that ensures the service is completed in accordance with all applicable standards, codes and legislation.

Legislation

Gas safety & compliance obligations will significantly increase for Victorian landlords when the proposed changes to the Residential Tenancy Act 1997 (Vic) become law on March 29, 2021

As a landlord, you have a duty of care to your tenants that, under the proposed changes to the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 (Vic), shall include completing regular safety checks of various services including gas and electrical services at your property by a properly qualified professional.

A gas safety check is more than just a carbon monoxide test and is not just an appliance service. A gas safety check includes the service and testing of all gas installations and fittings within the property.

Under the new regulations, effective 29 March 2021:
  • The rental provider must ensure a gas safety check of all gas installations and fittings is conducted every 2 years by a licensed or registered gasfitter. (The gasfitter will require a license/registration for ‘Type A Servicing’)
  • The rental provider must provide the renter with the date of the most recent safety check upon request
  • If a gas safety check has not been conducted within the last 2 years the rental provider must arrange one as soon as practicable upon a renter occupying the premises.
A record of a gas safety check must include the following information:
  • The name of the licensed or registered gasfitter who conducted the check
  • The licence or registration number of the licensed or registered gasfitter who conducted the check
  • The date the check was conducted
  • The results of the check, including any repairs that were required and actions taken to address the repair
