Frequently Asked Questions on Carbon Monoxide Testing
What is a carbon monoxide detector (alarm)?
It is a device that continuously monitors indoor air for carbon monoxide and sounds when the concentration reaches a sustained threshold. It cannot replace a smoke alarm or mandatory gas safety check. If you suspect a gas leak or carbon monoxide exposure, evacuate immediately and seek professional help.
What could set off a carbon monoxide alarm?
Common triggers include faulty gas appliances, blocked flues, poor ventilation, generators or barbecues used indoors, and carbon monoxide drifting from neighbouring properties or attached garages. Some alarms may also sound because of device faults, so check the manufacturer's instructions.
How long does carbon monoxide testing take?
Testing typically takes 1–2 hours, although the duration varies with the property's size and number of gas appliances. Properties with multiple appliances or older installations may take longer.
How can I detect carbon monoxide without a detector?
You cannot measure carbon monoxide without a detector. Warning signs can include unexplained headaches, dizziness, nausea or fatigue that clear after leaving the property. Yellow or orange appliance flames, soot around burners, pilot lights that repeatedly go out, and condensation near appliances can indicate incomplete combustion.
What happens if my rental property fails a gas safety check?
We provide a detailed report outlining issues such as gas leaks or faulty appliances. Repairs must be completed by a licensed gasfitter to meet Energy Safe Victoria standards. Once the problems are fixed, we can re-inspect the property and issue a gas compliance certificate.
