Your Safety is Our Top Priority

Your safety is important to us, especially during severe weather like hurricanes. While your natural gas appliances may not experience interruptions during storms, other emergencies may occur like gas leaks or pipe damage.

If a natural gas meter is damaged or gas line is exposed following severe weather or a hurricane, immediately leave the area and call our 24-hour emergency response number at 888.352.5325.

Detecting Gas Leaks

If after a storm you smell the “rotten egg” odor associated with natural gas, there could be a gas leak. Leave the area immediately and avoid using any equipment that may cause a spark.

Damage Prevention

Strong winds and saturated grounds could cause trees to become uprooted. Before removing downed trees, customers should call 811, a statewide, toll-free number, to have underground utility lines marked, because downed trees could become tangled with the natural gas lines.

Natural Gas Generators

During a power outage, natural gas generators provide continuous fuel supply from an existing natural gas line to all your natural gas appliances. Keep meals warm and hot water flowing with rebates on natural gas appliances, including hot water heaters and ranges.

Meter Safety

Following a weather emergency, ensure your gas meter is visible and free of trash and debris. Any equipment used after a storm to clean up a location may damage an unseen meter.

Appliance Safety

Customers are advised to leave their natural gas service on during a hurricane or severe storm. Most natural gas appliances have safety valves that shut off the flow of gas automatically if the pilot light goes out.
