If you need to install, repair or replace an appliance, hire a qualified professional to make sure the work is properly done. Never attempt this yourself!
Be alert for carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, tasteless, non-corrosive gas created when fuels burn incompletely. Know the symptoms of CO poisoning and ensure your home has properly installed CO detectors on every level of your property and in every room where someone sleeps.
Check gas appliance venting
Have a qualified professional inspect natural gas appliances for proper venting to avoid carbon monoxide exposure. They can verify things are in good working condition.
Moving an appliance?
If you’re removing an appliance, you should hire a qualified professional to make sure the natural gas is turned off and the natural gas line is properly capped.
Your laundry appliances need care
