If you smell gas strongly or are unsure, leave the building and call the gas company or 911 once you are outside; do not use light switches, appliance controls, phones near the odor, or anything that could spark.

What Montrose Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Montrose come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
State law treats fuel gas piping separately from plumbing and has the State Plumbing Board adopt a Colorado fuel gas code for inspecting gas piping installations; hooking a gas appliance to an existing service connection falls outside the statute's definition of gas piping.

In Colorado, you can check a license with the Colorado DORA License Lookup or report a problem to the Colorado Attorney General, Consumer Protection.
