What should I do if I smell gas inside my home?

If you smell gas inside your home you will need to eliminate all sources of ignition – do not operate any electrical appliances or switches including mobile phones and light switches, and do not smoke. Turn off all appliances if safe to do so and ventilate the house by opening windows and doors.

Once all appliances are off if there is still the smell of gas coming through your home turn off the gas at the meter. For instructions on how to turn off your gas meter, see the related articles below.

If the smell of gas is overpowering after you have taken those precautions, evacuate the hous, and contact ATCO Gas Australia - Faults and Emergencies on 13 13 52.
