Gas Ducted Heater Repairs in Melbourne


When your gas ducted heater will not fire up on a cold Melbourne morning, you want a licensed gasfitter who can find the fault fast and fix it safely. BM Heating & Cooling repairs gas ducted heaters across Melbourne, from our base in the northern suburbs. Every repair is carried out by a licensed Type A gasfitter and includes a carbon monoxide safety check.

We repair all the major brands, whether you bought the heater from us or not, including Braemar, Brivis, Bonaire, Vulcan, Pyrox, Omega and Lennox. From a failed igniter or thermocouple to a blower motor or control board, we get your heating back on quickly and safely.

We repair gas ducted heaters throughout Reservoir, Preston, Bundoora, Thomastown, Epping, Coburg, Brunswick, Heidelberg, Northcote and right across the Melbourne metro area.

The Gas Ducted Faults We Fix


These are the faults we are called out to most on gas ducted heaters.

Will not ignite or no flame: a failed igniter or spark electrode, a fouled flame sensor, a gas supply problem, or a lockout after failed ignition attempts.

Blowing cold air: the burner is not firing while the fan keeps running, or a blocked return-air filter has tripped the high-temperature safety limit.

Will not start, short cycling or noisy: a tripped breaker, blown fuse or dead controller, a faulty thermostat, or a blower motor with a worn capacitor or seized bearings.

Uneven heating and faults: a failed zone damper or controller, a faulty gas valve or thermostat, and error codes on the wall controller. We also check for a cracked heat exchanger, which is a serious carbon monoxide risk.

Carbon Monoxide Safety With Every Repair


A gas ducted heater burns gas inside your home, so safety is part of every repair we do.

Carbon monoxide is colourless and odourless. It can leak from a cracked heat exchanger, which gives no smell, no noise and no error code, so the only reliable way to detect it is a carbon monoxide and heat-exchanger integrity test by a licensed gasfitter.

Energy Safe Victoria recommends every gas heater is serviced at least once every two years, including a carbon monoxide safety check. We carry out a CO spillage and negative-pressure test as part of the repair and check the flue is venting safely.

If you notice a yellow or lazy flame, soot or staining, or headaches and nausea that ease when you leave the house, turn the heater off and call us straight away.

Why Choose BM Heating & Cooling


Licensed Gasfitters

Every gas repair is done by a licensed Type A gasfitter, the only person legally allowed to work on gas heaters in Victoria.

Carbon Monoxide Tested

We carry out a carbon monoxide safety and spillage test with every repair, so your family is safe, not just warm.

Honest Repair or Replace

We assess older and legacy units honestly and tell you when a repair is worth it and when a replacement is the safer, smarter spend.

Repair or Replace, and the Brands We Fix


Gas ducted heaters typically last 15 to 20 years. Under about 15 years with a sound heat exchanger, a single failed part like an igniter, sensor, capacitor or board is well worth repairing.

A cracked heat exchanger is a carbon monoxide risk and is generally not repairable, so that means replacement. Older units past 15 to 20 years with recurring faults are also usually better replaced.

We repair Braemar, Brivis and Bonaire with genuine parts, and we assess legacy or discontinued units like Vulcan, Pyrox, Omega and Lennox case by case, since parts for very old models can be limited. If replacement is the better value, we can explain a switch to an efficient reverse cycle system, which removes the carbon monoxide risk and may qualify for a Victorian Energy Upgrades rebate.

Gas Ducted Heater Repairs FAQs


Usually the burner is not igniting while the fan keeps running, from a failed igniter, a fouled flame sensor, a gas supply issue, or a blocked filter tripping the safety limit. A gasfitter diagnoses which.

No. In Victoria, gas appliance work must be done by a licensed Type A gasfitter. DIY is illegal and risks gas leaks and carbon monoxide.

Energy Safe Victoria recommends at least once every two years, including a carbon monoxide safety check.

It is a fault in the wall that separates combustion gases from your room air, and it can leak carbon monoxide with no smell, sound or error code. Only a gasfitter's integrity and CO test detects it, and it means replacement, not repair.

Under about 15 years with a sound heat exchanger, repair is usually worth it. Over 15 to 20 years, with recurring faults or a cracked heat exchanger, replacement is the smarter call.

We repair all major brands and assess older units case by case. Parts for very old or discontinued models can be limited, so sometimes replacement is the better value, and we will tell you honestly.

Note the code and call us. Codes point to ignition, sensor, gas-valve or airflow faults. Some clear with a reset, but a repeat lockout needs a technician.

Yes. The Victorian Energy Upgrades program offers a rebate for switching gas ducted heating to an efficient reverse cycle system. It requires an accredited installer and decommissioning of the old unit.
