If You Smell Gas
Never assume a gas odor is a sign your tank is running low. If you smell gas in the house, or if you have a gas alarm that signals the presence of gas, IMMEDIATELY follow these suggestions:
 |
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. |
 |
Leave Immediately!
Get everyone out of the building or area of the suspected leak. |
 |
Shut Off the Gas.
Turn off the main gas supply valve on your propane tank if it's safe to do so. To close the valve, turn it clockwise (see diagram below). |
 |
Report the Leak.
From a neighbor's home or other nearby building away from the gas leak, call HomeWorks at 1-877-574-2740 right away. If for some reason you can't reach us, call 911 or your local fire department. |
 |
Do Not Return to the Building or Area.
Do Not Return to the Building or Area until we determine that it is safe. |
 |
Get Your System Checked.
Before you attempt to use any of your propane appliances, a qualified service thechnician must check your entire system to ensure that it is leak-free. |
