As with any source of energy, you should follow certain safety measures when using natural gas. If you smell gas near an appliance, it may be just a pilot light that has gone out or a burner valve that is open slightly. We will come and make the area safe at no charge to you. Outside gas odors should be reported to us right away - do not try to locate the source yourself . Back to Top Carbon Monoxide Carbon monoxide is produced when burning any fuel, such as charcoal, gasoline or wood.
Carbon monoxide is highly poisonous and it has no odor, taste or color.
If natural gas equipment is not maintained, adjusted, and operated properly, it could produce carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide detectors may be helpful in your home or business. But remember, a carbon monoxide detector never should be substituted for using equipment safely - which includes having your heating and cooking equipment inspected once a year by a trained professional. Never look for a gas leak with a match. Appliance installation, service, repair and disconnection always should be handled by a qualified person.
