Actions to Take When Suspecting a Gas Leak in Your Apartment:
Do not switch on or off any electrical switches or household appliances.
Absolutely avoid using matches, lighting any flame, or approaching any source of ignition.
Open the nearest ventilation points, such as windows or doors, to help quickly release the leaked gas from the space.
Turn off the main gas valve located next to the natural gas meter inside the apartment immediately.
Dial 129 (Gas Emergency Service) or contact the emergency police to request assistance and ensure the gas leak is safely addressed.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use of Natural Gas:
Do not store or use highly flammable products such as gasoline or paint near gas-powered appliances like stoves or water heaters.
The availability and convenience of natural gas should not lead to excessive consumption. Responsible usage helps reduce costs and preserve resources.
Keep an eye on food while cooking to prevent potential hazards caused by spills or overflows that may extinguish the flame and allow gas to leak unnoticed.
Adjusting your water heater to a suitable temperature not only improves safety but also helps reduce gas consumption.
Keeping the pilot light of the water heater on 24/7 can consume around 15 cubic meters of gas per month, equivalent to the use of one gas cylinder.
Periodic inspection and maintenance reduce the risk of malfunctions or accidents and ensure safer operation of gas-powered devices.
All installation, removal, or extension works involving gas appliances must be carried out by certified and specialized gas service providers to ensure safety and compliance.
