RESIDENTIAL NATURAL GAS RATES

Yes, gas appliances can be damaged by power surges, although they are primarily designed to operate on gas rather than electricity. Power surges can affect gas appliances in several ways. First, many gas appliances have electronic components like control panels, igniters, and thermostats that rely on electricity to function. A sudden surge in electrical voltage can overwhelm and damage these sensitive components, rendering the appliance non-functional. Second, power surges can disrupt the proper functioning of safety features in gas appliances, which are designed to shut off the gas supply in case of malfunctions or unsafe conditions. A surge can interfere with these safety mechanisms, potentially leading to safety risks. To protect gas appliances from power surges, it’s advisable to use surge protectors or uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) for appliances with electronic components. Additionally, consider whole-house surge protection to safeguard your entire electrical system, including the circuits that power gas appliances.

The safety of yourself and others is paramount. If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak, leave the premises immediately. Do not operate any electrical devices or create sparks that could potentially ignite the gas.  If it is safe to do so, open windows and doors to allow fresh air to ventilate the area. This can help disperse any gas that may have accumulated. If you know the location of the gas shut-off valve and can do so safely, turn off the gas supply to the affected appliance. This will help prevent further gas leakage.

Natural gas stoves, like any appliance that uses gas, need to be used carefully. If they are not maintained well or if they are used incorrectly, they can be dangerous. The main risks are gas leaks and carbon monoxide poisoning. Gas leaks can happen if the stove or the gas lines are damaged or not connected properly. Carbon monoxide is a gas that you can’t see or smell, but it can be harmful if there’s a lot of it in the air. This can happen if the stove is not burning the gas completely. To stay safe, it’s important to have good ventilation in the kitchen, regularly check the stove and gas lines, and have a carbon monoxide detector in your home.

Yes, many homes and businesses can switch to natural gas if it is available in their area. Contact your local utility company to find out if natural gas is available and to learn about the installation process.

To locate the gas shut-off valve in your home, check near the gas meter, which is often on the exterior of the house or in a utility area such as a basement. The shut-off valve, typically a lever or knob, is usually found on the pipe leading to the gas meter, allowing you to cut off the gas supply to the entire house. It’s crucial to familiarize yourself with its operation, as it might require a wrench to turn. Additionally, individual gas appliances may have their own shut-off valves for isolating gas to that appliance. For specific guidance, consult with your local gas company or a professional plumber, and remember, in case of a gas emergency, prioritize evacuating the area safely.
