If you suspect you have gas leakage on your property, call 1300 123 616 and talk to the experts at Ace Gas Heater Service!
Gas lines are both efficient and effective in operating household appliances, heating household water, and keeping your family warm and comfortable throughout the year. However, a natural gas leak in your home or business can be hazardous and even life-threatening if you do not detect and repair it.
If you smell gas on your property, be sure to call the experts at Ace Gas Heater Service for fast and reliable service and repair. (You will want to turn off all gas appliances, ventilate the area and exit the house until we arrive to be safe in case of emergency.)
Natural-Gas Leak Detector
Gas lines and appliances require regular maintenance to function safely and effectively. A network of pipelines transports natural gas from its source to your home. The public utility companies manage them up to the home connection. Normal wear and tear, weather, and environmental factors can cause gas pipes to corrode, crack or break. Keeping this in mind, it is wise to have the gas lines on your property inspected regularly.
Because of its volatile and combustible nature, only qualified professionals should handle natural gas. Your utility company can only determine if there is a leak and shut off your gas if they deem it necessary. Utility companies do not provide diagnostic or repair services.

Detecting gas leakage
One less-obvious sign that gas may be escaping in your home is a higher gas bill than average, with no known reason. If you suspect that this is the case, try the following steps:
- Take a reading of your gas meter before going to bed.
- Switch off all your home appliances, including those with a pilot light (e.g., water heaters).
- Recheck the meter when you get up the next morning.
- If the meter reading shows an increase from the night before, this is a strong indication that you have a gas leak somewhere on the premises.
However, the most obvious indicators of gas leakage include:
- An unpleasant odour, similar to rotten eggs or sulphur
- A distinct hissing sound coming from your gas appliances
- Dead grass or plants near the gas line in your yard
- Limited hot water supply
- The pilot light extinguishes frequently
- Nausea, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, or difficulty breathing
In addition to damaging your home and property, gas leaks can be life-threatening to you and your loved ones! The first step is to ensure that you and your family are safely away from the gas leak and then contact the professionals at Ace Gas Heater Service by calling 1300 123 616.

What to do if you smell gas on your property
In addition to contacting the skilled professionals at Ace Gas Heater Service, it is imperative to do the following:
- Turn off your gas supply/connection. If you don’t know where your meter is, contact your gas supply company for that information.
- Turn off all gas appliances in your home, including gas cooking appliances and water heaters.
- Open up all doors and windows to allow the gas to dissipate.
- Refrain from lighting matches, cigarette lighters, or creating any type of spark or flame that could ignite the gas. Natural gas is extremely combustible!
- Do not turn on any electronic appliances connected to switches or outlets.
- Leave the property immediately and shelter in a place where the smell of gas is not present.
- Do not return to your home or property until the inspection of your gas lines is complete.
