Natural Gas is odorized which adds a distinctive rotten egg or sulphur like smell to help you detect any leaks.
Natural gas is one of the safest and most reliable fuels available. It has a higher combustion temperature than other fuels. Combustion cannot occur unless a narrow range of fuel-to-air (5 to 15 per cent) mixture is present.
If you smell gas outside….
Natural gas is lighter than air and will dissipate into the atmosphere unless confined. Please call Swan River Natural Gas about all gas odors you may smell on your property. If the source is unknown, keep note of when and where you detected the odor, the wind direction and how strong the odor was.
