Gas Smell from Appliance: Emergency Steps and What Not to Do

If you smell natural gas or propane in your home, this is not a DIY repair situation — it is a safety emergency. The right response is to leave the home immediately, avoid creating any electrical sparks (no light switches, no phones, no appliances), and call your gas company and a licensed gas technician from outside. This guide describes the steps to take and the steps to avoid. There are no DIY repair instructions here, by design.
