Type A appliance servicing work
Type A appliance servicing work refers to the inspection, testing, adjustment, and repair of domestic and light commercial gas appliances that are classified as Type A under Australian gas regulations. These include common appliances such as gas cooktops, ovens, heaters, hot water systems, and BBQs.
