Your Emergency Gas Leak Service
Can you smell that unpleasant rotten egg scent of a natural gas leak? You need to call an emergency licensed gas fitter from Cyber Air Conditioning. We’re available 24/7, every day of the year, and we’ll be there within an hour of your call*.
Natural gas is highly flammable, and a leak puts your home and family in danger. While you wait for your Cyber Air Conditioning gas fitter to arrive, you can take several steps to reduce the danger:
- Turn off the gas at the gas meter (there should be a brightly coloured handle – turn it to a right angle to the pipe).
- Turn off your appliances, including your electrical appliances (including powerpoints and light switches).
- Refrain from using any fan appliances to move the air around.
- Open doors and windows to ventilate your home.
- Never ignite a flame.
If the smell of gas is particularly bad, it is advisable to wait outside to avoid feeling sick.
Signs You’ve Got a Gas Leak
Natural gas is actually odourless, but the addition of a harmless chemical called mercaptan creates a highly recognisable smell similar to rotten eggs or sulphur. That scent is the most recognisable sign of a gas leak, but there are other signs to look out for.
Additional signs of a gas leak include:
- Unexplained patches of dead grass and/or dead plants near gas lines.
- Hissing or high-pitched whistling sounds coming from pipework.
- Air bubbles in puddles above underground piping, or where water has settled on joints.
- The pilot light flickers, is not a strong hot blue, changes colour, or goes out.
- Gas bills are significantly higher than normal and can’t be explained.
- Members of the household are suddenly unwell (keep reading for more details on gas sickness).
It is easy for some of these signs to go unnoticed. That’s to be expected – how often do we check puddles for bubbles or worry about a dead plant?
That’s why general maintenance and servicing of gas heaters and appliances is essential. You can be sure your family is safe, healthy and secure with a routine service and certificate of compliance from Cyber Air Conditioning.
The Danger of Gas Leaks
We should emphasise that gas is an incredibly safe fuel source for ducted heating, gas log fires and all other gas heaters. A properly maintained heating system will be reliable and should be no trouble at all. However, there are some risks and it’s necessary to be aware of the potential dangers.
Leaking gas heaters, ovens or hot water systems can be hazardous. They are both health risks and a genuine threat to your home, family and personal belongings.
Some of the symptoms of gas leak exposure include:
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Nausea and/or vomiting
- Breathing issues
- Fatigue
- Throat and eye irritation
These symptoms are similar to those of a common cold or flu, which means they can be dismissed. If you have a natural gas supply, remember that a leak could be the cause if symptoms persist.
Long-term exposure can lead to more severe symptoms, including loss of consciousness, severe health complications or even death.
Your property is also at risk if there is a persistent gas leak. Any exposure to a naked flame or ignition source could trigger a devastating fire or explosion. If you could prevent that with professional maintenance and repairs, wouldn’t you do it?
