SMELL GAS OR SUSPECT A LEAK?
Turn off the gas at the meter/bottle if safe to do so.
If it is safe to do so, ventilate by opening doors and windows.
Do not use flames or create sparks: no smoking, no lighters, no matches.
Do not operate electrical switches or appliances, including power points, lights, or garage doors.
Keep people and pets away from the area.
If there is immediate danger, fire, injury, a strong gas smell, uncontrolled gas release, or you are not confident the area is safe, leave the area and call Triple Zero (000).
Once safe, call us to book professional gas leak detection and safety testing.
WHAT GAS SAFETY TESTING MEANS
Gas safety testing is a set of checks we do to confirm your gas system is operating safely and correctly.
It can include:
Checking for gas leaks
Checking pressures and appliance operation
Inspecting key components for safety and compliance
If something isn’t right, we’ll explain what we found and what the next step is.
WHEN TO CALL US
Call us if you:
Smell gas, even faintly.
Hear a hissing sound near gas pipes, bottles, regulators, or appliances.
Have headaches, nausea, dizziness, or irritation that improves when you leave the area.
Have a gas appliance that keeps cutting out, burning poorly, or seems unsafe.
Have had recent renovations, appliance changes, or damage to gas lines.
Want a safety check before travel in a caravan/RV, or before using a system that has been sitting unused.
WHAT WE DON'T DO
To keep you safe and keep everything compliance-correct:
We don’t provide DIY instructions or troubleshooting steps for gas systems.
We don’t diagnose gas leaks over the phone.
We don’t sign off or certify unknown work without proper inspection and testing.
If you suspect a leak, treat it seriously and book a proper on-site assessment.
