The dangers of gas leaks
Gas leaks present serious risks to your home and your safety, which is exactly why you should never ignore them. Here are some of the main dangers and risks associated with gas leaks.
- Fire and explosion hazards: Gas is highly flammable and can ignite when it is exposed to a spark or flame. This creates a significant risk of fire or even explosion.
- Asphyxiation: Gas can quickly displace oxygen in a room. If it does, it can make it difficult to breathe, which could potentially lead to serious health risks.
- Carbon monoxide exposure: Any faulty gas appliance, including heating systems, can produce carbon monoxide. This can be very difficult to detect and is extremely harmful, even deadly, if inhaled.
- Health effects: Exposure to gas can lead to symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue.
- Higher gas bills: If you have a leak, it may increase your gas bill. This can be especially true if the gas is escaping before it reaches your appliances.
- Damage to vegetation: Should your gas leak be underground, it can potentially affect your soil and plant health. This can cause your grass or plants to die.

Can I detect a gas leak myself?
It is possible to detect a gas leak yourself, either by the smell of escaping gas, by simple methods such as a soapy water test, or by handheld detectors. However, gas leaks can be very hazardous. The safest option is always to contact one of our expert technicians at Climate Plus.
Is a faint smell of gas normal?
When you use appliances like a gas stove, it is possible to briefly detect a faint smell of gas. That said, if the smell is stronger than usual or lingers, it’s best to get your systems checked.
Who pays for gas leaks at the meter in Australia?
In Australia, responsibility for gas leaks depends on where the leak is located. If the gas leak occurs on or before the gas meter, the gas distributor (network operator) is responsible for repairing the issue and covering the associated costs.
However, if the leak is after the meter and within your property’s gas lines, appliances, or internal system, then responsibility falls to the property owner. In these cases, you’ll need to arrange and pay for repairs through a licensed gas fitter, such as Climate Plus.
