Gas

What to do if you smell gas…
If you smell gas in the street or on your property before or including the meter, you should call your natural gas distribution company to locate and repair the leak. If however, you believe the leak to be after the meter on a section of pipe work connecting your appliances, or on the appliance itself, you can contact any licensed gasfitter to rectify the problem. Remember, any person undertaking work involving gas must be appropriately licensed.

Inside the House
If you smell gas inside a building:
1. Turn OFF all appliances and pilot lights
2. Turn OFF supply at the gas meter.
3. Open all doors and windows for ventilation
4. Contact your licensed gasfitter to repair the escape and relight appliances.

Remember:

Do not look for a gas leak with a naked flame or other ignition source.
Do not operate electrical equipment in the vicinity of a gas leak.
