We've collected these tips to help you spot and prevent emergencies, such as gas leak and power cuts, early. If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak... Open windows and doors. Turn off your gas supply at the meter (unless it’s in the cellar or basement). Turn all gas appliances off. Do not use light switches, doorbells or any electrical switches. Do not return to your home until you’ve been given the all-clear. Go outside and report the gas leak to: National Gas Emergency 0800 111 999 Don't go back inside until you’ve been given the all clear. Carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide is a highly poisonous gas that has no smell or taste. It’s extra dangerous because breathing it in could kill you. We don’t want that to happen, so we’ll help you watch for its signs. Incorrectly installed, badly maintained or poorly ventilated household appliances that use gas, oil, coal or wood are the most common sources of carbon monoxide poisoning. Since 2015, if you live in a rental property in England, it's a legal requirement for your landlord to install a smoke alarm on every floor of the premises and a carbon monoxide detector in rooms containing solid fuel appliances. Don’t take any chances, if you’re worried about carbon monoxide leaking from a gas appliance, call: National Gas Emergency 0800 111 999 For power cuts: If your electricity supply has gone off, then rather than speaking to your electricity supplier, you'll need to talk to your distribution network operator. They'll be able to help in an electrical emergency, give you the information you need and get your power back on.
