Emergency Gas Repairs
If you smell gas in the street or on your property before or including the gas meter, you should call the Gas Leaks and Emergency services on 1800 GAS LEAK (1800 427 532) to locate and repair the leak. If however, you believe the leak to be after the meter on a section of pipe work connecting your appliances, or on the appliance itself, you should contact a licensed gas fitter to rectify the problem. Remember, any person undertaking work involving gas must be appropriately licensed.
What to do if you smell gas inside your building or home?
If you smell gas inside your building or home:
- Turn off all appliances and pilot lights.
- Turn off your supply at the gas meter.
- Open all doors and windows for ventilation.
- Contact your licensed gas fitter to repair the escape and relight appliances.
IMPORTANT:
- Do not look for a gas leak with a naked flame or other ignition source.
- Do not operate electrical equipment close to a gas leak.
- Don’t turn on or switch off any lights, use a telephone, or use a flashlight, at the risk of causing a spark that could start a gas fire.
- Don’t smoke, light matches, or use a cigarette lighter inside or while on the property.
Only Use A Licensed Gas Fitter
As the owner, you are responsible for the gas installation in your home or business, including any associated costs, and should use a licensed gas fitter to carry out any gas work required. Your gas fitter will be responsible for carrying out work at your gas meter outlet up to (and including):
- The gas appliance.
- The pipe work from the gas meter to the appliance.
- Any flues or ducts.
If a gas leak occurs between your gas meter location and your appliances, you should contact a licensed gas fitter to arrange a repair.
