How Often Should Commercial Gas Appliances Be Serviced?

Commercial gas equipment works harder than anything in a domestic kitchen. Regular servicing keeps it safe, efficient, and compliant.

Short Answer: At Least Once a Year

Under AS/NZS 5601.1, commercial gas appliances should be inspected at least annually. Busy kitchens (restaurants, aged care, schools) often benefit from 6-monthly servicing.

What Gets Checked

• Gas pressure and flow
• Burner condition and flame pattern
• Pilot assemblies and thermocouples
• Gas valve operation
• Ventilation and flue
• Safety interlocks
• General condition and wear

Why It Matters

• Gas leaks and carbon monoxide are serious hazards
• Scheduled servicing catches problems before they cause a breakdown during service
• Well-maintained equipment uses less gas
• Documented servicing supports insurance claims
