What You Can Do 

While gas leaks and related incidents are rare, please do the following to ensure your safety.

  • Have your propane appliances installed and maintained by a preferred FPU Energy Partner or a licensed gas contractor
  • If you choose to install your gas appliance(s), check the local codes and closely follow the manufacturer’s instructions
  • Operate appliances according to their instructions and intended purpose (Do not use a range to heat a room, etc.)
  • Know how to sense possible danger and be able to recognize the ‘rotten egg’ smell that could potentially indicate a gas leak
