Natural Gas Safety
Natural gas is still a common way of powering systems around your home such as furnaces, fireplaces, clothes dryers, and stoves. While natural gas is the world’s cleanest fossil fuel, producing only carbon dioxide, water vapor, and small amounts of nitrogen oxide, it also presents several risks that could be dangerous if not handled correctly. A natural gas leak in a house can cause potential fires, and inhaling the gas can cause natural gas poisoning. Luckily for you, there are several tips to warn about a natural gas leak in your home.
Signs of a natural gas leak include:
- Rotten egg smell
- Hissing sound in your home
- Dying plants
- Symptoms of gas poising
- Higher than normal gas usage
At Complete Home Solutions, our crews are trained to look for any of these signs while inspecting your home, however, if you noticed any of these around your home you should quickly exit your home and call 911.
