Common questions
Answers before you call
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the area without using switches, flames, or anything that may create a spark. Contact the gas utility or 911 from a safe location.
Can an appliance be connected to any nearby gas line?
No. Pipe size, total demand, pressure, route, appliance requirements, and code conditions must be evaluated.
Does gas-line work require a permit?
Requirements vary by jurisdiction and scope. Planned work should identify the applicable permit, test, and inspection process.
Can I submit a gas leak through the contact form?
No. The form is not monitored as an emergency channel. For a suspected active leak, leave and contact the utility or 911.
