Can you smell gas? If you are inside a building, please leave the area immediately and call 13 13 52.
If you detect a gas leak and are not inside a building either call 13 13 52 or report a gas leak online via the online form.
The most common gas supplied and used in homes is natural gas (methane) via gas mains.
LPG, in gas bottles, is the common alternative where there are no gas mains.
LPG is the gas in a cooking gas cylinder. It is primarily used as cooking fuel.
It is recommended that your gas hot water system is serviced at least once every 2 years, This will greatly extend the life of your system.
If you own a gas heater, stove, hot water system or any other gas appliance, it is essential that you get your item regularly serviced. Faulty appliances can create potentially deadly situations with toxic levels of carbon monoxide being emitted.
Our gas servicing is always carried out by a qualified technician and they are trained to inspect for potential issues before they occur. Safety is also a core focus and our technicians are fully trained and licenced.
