I smell gas ???

Question

My house sometimes smells like gas. Should I have a pro look at it? (it's a nice looking house) I tested all the pipe joints with a Bic lighter and I cant find any leaks so I dont want to replace my gas lines if they are not leaking right? Would black tape help anyways eh if they were leaking I am trying to avoid getting ripped off ...........or does it just need a new thermostat? The other thing I have is when it gets hot outside it gets hot inside do I need AC or can I just install DC because I allready have 110/220 AC here right. If I do get AC should it be 110 or 220? And my blower does not blow enough should I get a bigger blower or a new wife?

White tape will show a leak and yes change your stat as the new digitals have a gas sensing feature.

Don't let it get hot outside- convince all your neighbors with ac to leave their doors open- this should help.

If I do get AC should it be 110 or 220?

Your wife is a cow at 250 pounds- how would you upgrade that??

I know you are just joking about checking for leaks with a Bic lighter because if you had found it, I would be talking to a dead person.

Had a call last year, customer said she smelled gas. Go inside, the entire house smelled of gas, so much that I was surprised that the house had not exploded. Checked gas line for the furnace, no leaks found. Tell customer that she should turn off the main breaker to the house so as to kill the power to all the electrical appliances, call the gas company and then go stay in a motel until the problem is fixed. When I told her to turn off the power she asked me " does my tv use gas?" No kidding, she really said that! Darwin award in the making. Turned out they had remodeled the house and someone had loosened the gas line to the fireplace.

I went in the basement via the lower door and turned off the pilotlight in the HW tank the furnace pilot was allreadyoff....................dont know how it happened but a burner was left onon the stove all night long when I was out. Walked in the door and smelledgas..........now what the fuc do I do ???? if I turn the burner off it willgo past the spark position and kaboom so I left it on and vented the housea bit first.. For about two hours the cats were walking sidewaysWhat I am looking for is a timer control that will shut off the gas valveto the stove. Something simaler to those wall twist timers that you woulduse for a hot tub or a bath fan. Is there a valve that can electricallycontrol a...

Why don't you just turn off the main gas valve at the meter?\

Give you a little helpful hint. Take a old wrench and make sure it will fix the gas c*ck outside on the gas meter and some how tie it to the meter so it can not walk away.

Then the next time you need to close off the gas supply you will have the wrench to do so.
