What is the Purpose of a Gas Line?
Gas lines are pipes that connect a main gas line to your home appliances. While not every home has a gas line, many households enjoy the benefits of gas power in the kitchen, bathroom and beyond. Natural gas powers stoves, water heaters, furnaces, air conditioners, fireplaces, outdoor fire pits, pool heaters and more.
Natural gas is also an efficient energy source, and it remains functional when the electricity is out. If you lose power, you’ll still have access to a temperature-controlled home, cooking appliances and hot water.
How to Spot a Gas Leak
A gas leak is hazardous not only to your home, but also to your health. Severe gas poisoning can be fatal, so if you do suspect the gas line in your home is leaking, vacate the premises as quickly as possible and call Red’s On Time Plumbing for gas line repair in Atascadero, CA or elsewhere in California’s Central coast. We know how to take the proper safety precautions to enter your home in the event of a gas leak and make the necessary repairs.
The first sign of a major gas leak is often the smell of rotten eggs. While technically natural gas does not smell like anything, utility providers add the odor of rotten eggs to the gas so homeowners recognize a gas leak as quickly as possible.
