Carbon Monoxide Testing in Sydney
Carbon monoxide (CO) is invisible, odourless, and deadly. Even low levels can cause serious health problems over time. At HeaterCare, we perform advanced CO testing to detect risks before they become real dangers — for your family’s safety and your peace of mind.
Why Carbon Monoxide Testing Is Essential
Many heating appliances, gas heaters, fireplaces, stoves or water heaters can produce CO if they are malfunctioning, poorly ventilated, or not properly installed. Because it’s colourless and odorless, you won’t know it’s present — until symptoms like headaches, dizziness or nausea start creeping in.
- Protect your family’s health — CO exposure can lead to poisoning.
- Prevent property damage — high CO can indicate leaks or combustion issues.
- Comply with safety requirements for rentals, strata, or insurance.
- Gain peace of mind with documented safety verification.
Our CO Testing & Safety Check Process
- Inspection & Visual Audit: Check vents, flues, combustion areas, and appliance integrity.
- CO Sensor Monitoring: Use calibrated instruments over time to measure gas levels in rooms.
- Flue & Vent Testing: Ensure proper airflow and exhaust functionality.
- Combustion Analysis: Test burners for correct gas mix and look for by-products of incomplete combustion.
- Reporting & Remediation: Receive a full report. If faults found, we’ll repair or adjust on the spot.
- Retest & Certification: After fixes, we retest and provide a safety certificate for your records.
Warning Signs of Carbon Monoxide Exposure
- Frequent headaches or nausea while indoors
- Feeling dizzy, fatigue, or confusion
- Condensation or sooting on windows/appliances
- Unexplained flu-like symptoms that disappear outside

If you notice any of these signs, vacate the premises immediately and call a licensed professional.
