Question: It seems that when I first come home from work and walk by the furnace room I get a little whiff of natural gas. Is this something I should be concerned about?
Answer: Yes. Natural gas and propane are nothing to leave to chance. Both are very dangerous if there is a leak. The slightest spark or flame can cause a potentially lethal blast and fire. If you smell gas, it is best to have it checked immediately. It is best if you get out of the house. Go to a neighbors’ house or use a cell phone outside to call the gas company or a qualified technician to fix the problem.
