Melbourne's Emergency Gas Response Team
Gas emergencies do not happen at convenient times. They happen in the middle of winter at 6am when the heating has failed and it is 4 degrees outside. They happen on a Sunday evening when the hot water system stops working. They happen when you walk into the kitchen and smell gas.
When any of these situations occur, you need a licensed gas fitter who picks up the phone, gives you a clear answer and gets to your property fast.
Gas Experts Melbourne provides 24/7 emergency gas callouts across Melbourne. Every emergency is attended by a VBA licensed gas fitter with professional testing equipment and a van stocked with common parts and units. We give you a fixed callout rate upfront: no surprise fees, no hourly rate shock at the end of a stressful situation.
Whatever your gas emergency, call us now on 0468 279 956.
Gas Emergencies We Attend Across Melbourne
A gas leak is the most urgent gas emergency. Natural gas and LPG are flammable. In an enclosed space, leaking gas creates an explosive atmosphere and displaces oxygen.
Immediate actions
- Turn off your gas supply at the meter
- Open all doors and windows
- Do not use any light switches, power points or appliances
- Do not use your phone inside the property
- Evacuate if the smell is strong
- Call us from outside on 0468 279 956
We attend gas leak emergencies 24 hours a day. We carry professional electronic gas detection equipment and will locate and repair the leak before leaving your property.
A gas heater that fails in the middle of winter, particularly for elderly residents, households with young children or anyone with a health condition, is a genuine emergency. Hypothermia is a real risk when Melbourne temperatures drop below 5 degrees.
We provide same-day and emergency callouts for gas heater failures across Melbourne. We carry common parts on the van and resolve most heater faults in a single visit.
A failed hot water system is a significant disruption, particularly for families. We provide same-day hot water system repair and replacement across Melbourne. In most cases, we can have your hot water restored the same day you call.
If multiple household members are experiencing unexplained headaches, dizziness, nausea or fatigue that improve when they leave the home, this may indicate a carbon monoxide problem.
Immediate actions
- Evacuate the property
- Get fresh air immediately
- Call emergency services (000) if anyone is unwell or has lost consciousness
- Call us on 0468 279 956 we will attend and test every gas appliance with calibrated CO detection equipment
Do not re-enter the property until a licensed gas fitter has identified and resolved the CO source.
A gas appliance that is producing unusual flames (yellow or orange instead of blue), making sounds it does not normally make, or behaving in a way that suggests it is not operating safely should be treated as an emergency.
Turn the appliance off, do not use it again and call us. We will diagnose the fault and advise whether the appliance is safe to use or needs repair or replacement before being operated again.
A hot water system that is actively flooding can cause significant damage to floors, ceilings and property very quickly. Turn off the cold water isolation valve to the unit immediately to stop water flow, then call us. We provide same-day hot water system replacement in most cases.
If a gas appliance in your home has been red-tagged or shut down by another tradesperson, a building inspector or an energy company representative, you need a licensed gas fitter to assess and resolve the issue before the appliance can be used again. Call us for a same-day assessment.
If you have lost gas supply to your entire property and you have confirmed with your gas distributor that there is no network outage in your area, the issue may be at your meter, gas regulator or service connection. Call us for an emergency assessment.
