A homeowner at D'Castilia Condominium contacted Homeone, facing an issue with a gas heater that had reached the end of its lifespan and could no longer supply hot water. Our team promptly conducted a site assessment, focusing initially on inspecting the electrical connections, including the power supply and control panel. All electrical components were confirmed to be in proper working condition.
We then turned our attention to the condition of the existing gas heater, specifically examining the motherboard and heat exchanger. The inspection revealed significant issues—the motherboard was melted, and the heat exchanger had rusted, clearly indicating that the heater was beyond repair and required immediate replacement.
The homeowner opted for the installation of a Macro MA-20WOD gas water heater. Our installation package includes comprehensive services, such as Manometer testing (U-gauge testing) and the issuance of a gas certificate, fully compliant with Regulation 21 of the Gas (Supply) Regulations 2008. All gas service work, including piped gas installations, is carried out by a Licensed Gas Service Worker (LGSW) to ensure safety and regulatory adherence.
