If You Smell Gas
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.

Installing, repairing and maintaining gas piping and approved gas appliances requires a state heating, piping and cooling license (such as the G-1/G-2 gas license or a broader B, D or S license) issued through the Department of Consumer Protection.
