Gas appliance safety is a top priority. If you smell gas in your home, follow these steps:
1. No Flames or Sparks!
- Immediately put out all smoking materials and other open flames.
- Do not operate lights, appliances, telephones, or cell phones. Flames or sparks from these sources can trigger an explosion or a fire.
2. Leave the Area Immediately
Get everyone out of the building or area where you suspect gas is leaking.
3. Turn Off the Gas
- Turn off the main gas supply valve on your propane tank if it is safe to do so.
- To close valve, turn it clockwise (to the right).
4. Report The Leak
From a neighbor's home or other nearby building away from the gas leak, call your propane retailer right away. If you can't reach your propane retailer, call 911 or your local fire department.
5. Do Not Return to the Building or Area
Your propane retailer, emergency responder, or qualified service technician will determine when it is safe to do so.
6. Get Your System Checked
Before you attempt to use any of your propane appliances, your propane retailer or a qualified service technician must check your entire system to ensure that it is leak-free.
Can You Smell It?
Propane smells like rotten eggs, a skunk's spray, or a dead animal. Some people may have difficulty smelling propane due to factors like their age (older people may have a less sensitive sense of smell), a medical condition, or the effects of medication, alcohol, tobacco, or drugs.
Propane gas detectors:
Under some circumstances, you may not smell a propane leak. Propane gas detectors sound an alarm if they sense propane in the air. They can provide an additional measure of security.
Some guidelines to follow regarding propane gas detectors:
- Only buy units that are listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding installation and maintenance.
- Never ignore the smell of propane, even if no detector is sounding an alarm.
