Gas Fitting Newtown - Signs Your home has gas leak

5/6/2018

Gas leaks can be a serious problem. People can die from gas leaks and if you think your home is experiencing such a problem, make sure to contact a professional in gas fitting Newtown right away. Whether the gas leak is coming from the water boiler, gas cooker, central heating, outdoor BBQ, knowing how to properly check for gas leaks can eventually save lives and even money off your utility bills.

How to know if your home has a gas leak

Can you smell it? There are different ways to know if your home has a gas leak but the most obvious sign is the odour. Some people think that gas is actually odourless, but this is not true. People can mostly inhale toxic fumes without noticing it. To help us identify if there is a gas leak, gas providers add an artificial “odouriser” or liquid chemical which gives gas that unpleasant smell allowing us to know if something is wrong.

The smell of gas is mostly like a rotten egg combined with the smell of sulphur. While new appliances can have a strong burning smell the first time they are used but they normally burn off within an hour. The smell of gas, on the other hand, is more noticeable and if the smell continues, call the appliance manufacturer and even your gas fitter.

Can you hear it? Check for a faint hissing sound. You may even see small dust clouds from the surrounding area indicating a leak.

If you see any of these signs immediately switch off the appliance where the leak is happening and call a specialist. Remember, a gas leak is not a joke. You have to be careful in case you suspect there is one in your home.
