If you smell gas on the street, call 1800 20 50 50 immediately. Don't assume that someone else will.

Keep your gas appliances safe

Have your gas appliances serviced annually. It is recommended that all gas appliances are serviced annually in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

If you are worried that an appliance isn't safe or working properly you should organise for a Registered Gas Installer to make a safety inspection.
