“How do I keep my gas connections safe?”

Whoever said "what you don't know won't hurt you" didn't know much about natural gas. We want you to be aware and informed about your service so that you can continue to enjoy safe, efficient use of your natural gas.

Natural gas travels from supply pipes in your home to your appliances via flexible, corrugated metal tubes. Because they're usually out of sight, you might not think about them.

It's important to have your connections checked to make sure that older, uncoated brass connections are replaced with a new stainless steel or plastic-coated brass connector. You likely won't be able to see your connectors, so call a qualified professional to remove the old tubing and install a new connector.

For your safety, please don't move any appliances. Movement can cause the connector to break, resulting in serious damage. If you can't see your connectors without moving appliances, get a qualified professional to inspect them.

Our highly trained technicians can inspect flexible connectors for unsafe conditions and make repairs immediately. There is a moderate fee for this service.
