Are you smelling gas at the gas meter?

Answer: No, you should not smell gas at your gas meter.

The only reason you are smelling gas by your gas meter is a leak at the regulator or at leak at one of the pipe connections, both of which are bad news. A gas leak smells like rotten eggs.

What You Can Do

Get out of the house! Go across the street to be safe. Then call the gas company after you have safely made it out of the house and have them turn off the gas. Next call a professional and have them do an inspection for a gas leak. The leak could be minor or the gas line in the house could be leaking. Stay out of the house until the house has been inspected and it has been confirmed that the house is safe to enter.
