Propane Gas is a cost-effective way to heat your home, and with Main Energy, you can be sure that you are getting the highest quality oil at the best prices. Once you have chosen an oil company and have propane installed in your home, it's important to know the warning signs of a gas leak. 

Courtesy of the propane experts at Main Energy, here are three indications of a possible gas leak:

• Smell Test: It's important to treat even the slightest smell of gas in your home seriously, because it could indicate a dangerous gas leak. If you smell gas more than a second after lighting the gas stove top burners, then you may have a gas leak. 
• Hissing: Hissing noises near pipes or gas appliances are also signs of a possible leak. 
• Browning Grass & Shrubs: If you notice that plants around your home are turning brown, this could be a sign that there is a gas leak from one of the pipes that are used to heat your house. 
• Sparks: If you witness an obvious indication that something is wrong with your gas, such as sparks or flames, you need to evacuate your home immediately. Once you are at a safe distance (at least across the street), call 911.

If you suspect that there could be a gas leak in your home, you need to call for a professional inspection right away. If you want to find out more about using home heating oil and propane safely, contact Main Energy by calling (315) 597-5200.
