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.
