Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, tasteless, and invisible gas that can be produced by faulty gas appliances or poor ventilation. Because it cannot be seen or smelled, carbon monoxide is often referred to as the silent killer.
Carbon monoxide risks are frequently overlooked in everyday households. Yet each year, people are hospitalised due to accidental carbon monoxide poisoning, and in severe cases, exposure can be fatal if not detected early.
At Doherty Plumbing Solutions, carbon monoxide testing is carried out by licensed gas plumbers using approved testing equipment. We help homeowners, landlords, and body corporates across Melbourne’s Eastern Suburbs identify carbon monoxide risks early and ensure gas appliances are operating safely.
Due to tragic incidents in recent years, carbon monoxide testing is now a recognised safety requirement in Victoria.
For rental properties, a regular test for carbon monoxide is required every two years under Australian Standards. For owner-occupied homes, it is strongly recommended that gas heaters and appliances be tested every two years as part of routine safety checks.
Gas appliances require ongoing servicing to ensure they are burning correctly, venting properly, and not placing occupants at risk.
Routine CO testing helps:
Our licensed gas plumbers provide professional carbon monoxide testing services using approved equipment and proven testing methods.
We assess gas appliances, ventilation, and operating conditions to identify potential risks before they become dangerous.
Our carbon monoxide testing services include
All testing is carried out in line with current Victorian gas safety standards, with clear explanations provided so you understand the results and any recommended next steps.
