If your Brivis gas heater doesn’t work the way it should, 90% chances are the electronic or the electric-driven mechanic parts has caused the fault; You then have 4 choices: (1). Replace the whole new system regardless of the manufacturer’s diagnostic error code, because you had three quotes from an electrician, a plumber and a handyman. (2). Utilising my specialty in heating electrical mechanic and electronic service repair skills to safely fix the heater quickly. If it is beyond repair, you only pay for the fault-finding booking fee. (**) (3). Call manufacturer: Pay call out fee. Until appointment, take a day-off-work, senselessly wait for the tech arrives. So far, no quotation or repair yet guaranteed. (4). Call local heating contractors: Same as the number (3), but some may charge excessive just to come, some have inadequate repair equipment, or inexperienced. (*)
.(*) Most of the BRIVIS ducted gas heaters have CPU and Electrical controlled mechanism, connected to Electronic circuits and sensors, safely repairing these heaters are often out of scope of the plumbing heat Contractor who was trained primarily installs, thus often suggesting a new system change over.Before that, call us for a final inspection: The issue sometimes just simply an electrical defect or within electronic system, and mostly can be rectified as cheap as a fraction the costs compared to replacing a whole new heating system.
Repair would be including CO testing in due time or per service request.(***)
.(**) In case of your heater is beyond repairs, I could collaborate with an installer of your choice on the selection and replacement of a new heating system; Or with my professional hvacr co-partner, licenced contractors and wholesaler, we definitely can provide expert guidance and tailored recommendations that align with your specific heating needs at fair market's competitive price, resulting in significant time and cost savings, this approach also eliminating the need to sift through numerous tradies databases that could potentially resulting in error of choices.
.(***) Carbon monoxide (chemical formula CO) testing service incurring extra cost to end users, price of the service is almost identical anywhere in Melbourne, the key point is cheapest quote is not always reflect the best jobs, it's your choice, but if chosen fix2Qik will match you a good deal.However, there are CO detection alarms that can be purchased at hardware stores and installed by home owners, it is a DIY process with understanding of NEGATIVE pressure checking, Video links on this matter can be found widely on you-tube or from social medias, it is often seen people installing two, three or more CO alarms at the property, for redundancy, but best practice is to follow the manufacturer's recommendation and instruction, Installation difficulty level is virtually the same as installing the household fire alarms.The CO alarms cannot replace a thorough human service, and there is no calibration to be carrying out.
The Gas fitters, Air plumbers cannot and will not predictively guarantee of when a heat exchange is cracked, or when CO spillage would be happening after the test, CO test results are an educated conclusion performed by using calibrated instrument obtained at the present time, hence the test was needed, periodically!
The fundamental is somewhat almost similar to installing the RCDs (safety switches) in electrical wiring circuits, They are there to trip off the electrical supplies leakages at harmful level, rather than replacing a proper assessment of electrical safety. The RCDs break contacts via mechanical motion, where as the CO detectors emitting an alarm.
These are useful video titles on you-tube on topic of CO testing for your references:
1/. Energy Safe Victoria: Understanding and testing for a Negative Pressure, and
2/. Building Authority Victoria: Carbon Monoxide Spillage Testing,
Consumers could also contact the hardware store or the CO alarm's manufacturer for further help and instructions.
Most gas heaters, not older than 20 years, consisting of 90% electrical components, especially electronic parts used for variety of functions including safety features, such as built-in combustion exhausting motor fan monitoring, overheat sensors, flame rollout, other safety sensors and the activations of safety protection mechanism. If any of these features are not working properly, the heater will not start the burning process. Once your heater initiated: Before, during and after the combustion process to provide heat, the electronic programmed via its sensing electrical components will monitor and act on protections as these are the factory's designed common standards.
So, while the CO test is important, it alone cannot ensure that your heating system is functioning correctly.
It's also worth noting that gas component service is needed as one task of many in a heater's complete preventative maintenance, but that gas service is not intended for the electronic and electrical maintaining which responsible for the majority of problems found within your heating system.
Points to ponder:
Thinking of the kitchen when you are there gas-cooking with and without the exhausting fan is on, which is safer, and no risk of Carbon monoxide poisoning?
If the CO alarm went off, can this exhaust fan to be used as an active air venting mechanism?
Closing windows and doors while turned on the gas heating system is saving you on energy but will it be truly safe even after the CO test just completed satisfactory! Or is it safer to have a small vent installed?
Your existing ceiling exhaust fan without cover has the see-through grill's holes, same principle for venting, is it not, even when turned off?
Do CO alarms only work with gas heaters and won't with other Gas appliances, such as the kitchen's gas cook top?

Common Faults
Electronics and electromechanical parts are the major cause of over 90% on Brivis gas heater repairs, and you would likely experiencing symptom like these: (not all listed).
Electronic and electromechanical parts cause 90% of problems on gas heaters
Gas valve’s life cycle: A gas valve of a good known brand heater is working fine up to between 120000 to 150000 cycles. It is normal to see many 30 years old heaters that have been using in average 8 to 10 hours per day, or less of heating are still working fine.
loosely calculation showing more than 1/2 of my heater’s running cost annually is spending on electrical. Because even the gas burner is off, many electric parts are still being energised for the purpose of sensing, safely monitoring and standing-by, waiting to kick the rest of the heater into action once it received instructions from controller.
Electric costs remain virtually the same in summer (yes! summer) if the heater being used in “Fan-only” mode to circulate the nearby cooled air from one air conditioning room; Often from the main living room; to the other areas of the house.
So, Even though categorised as Gas appliance, the 90% of parts that making up the heater are running on electric, proportionally the 90% of all faults are electric related problems.
