The Benefits of Professional Gas Fitting
If your home uses natural gas, your appliances and HVAC system are connected to a natural gas supply via securely linked gas lines. Natural gas is a cheaper alternative to using electricity and it is also a secure energy source, meaning there is an abundance of it. Utilizing natural gas in your home is also an environmentally friendly choice because it is a relatively clean fuel compared to coal and petroleum.
Professionally installed gas lines are more reliable and are much safer as a result. Loose lines or a faulty installation can lead to dangerous leaks that can even end in carbon monoxide poisoning.

Signs That Your Gas Lines Need Immediate Attention
When your gas is burning efficiently, this process is smooth and unnoticeable. However, any sort of leak or crack in your pipes can be dangerous if the problem is not addressed immediately. Knowing what to look for can help you stay safe — and allow you to call Blue Harbor Plumbing, Heating & Cooling for faster assistance.
These signs could indicate a problem with your gas lines:
- You smell gas. Natural gas is naturally odorless, so a chemical called mercaptan is added to it to help alert people to a potential leak. If you smell rotten eggs in your home, get out right away.
- You hear a hissing sound. If gas is escaping out of a loose connection or a crack in your line, it can cause a hissing sound as the gas leaks out.
- Higher energy bills are becoming more common. If you notice that your energy bills are creeping up for seemingly no reason, it might be due to a slow leak or an issue with your gas lines.
- The gas-powered appliances in your home aren’t performing well. Appliances that run on gas can only work properly when there is a steady flow of natural gas going to them. If your oven isn’t turning on as it should or your fireplace flames aren’t as bright as they usually are, a gas leak could be to blame.
- You are experiencing symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. These symptoms include fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Exit your home quickly and call for help.
