Natural gas has a very distinct rotten egg smell which will definitely cause a stir the moment it becomes a problem. When that happens, shut off the main valve to your house and call the local gas company.

If you don’t know how to shut off the valve, get the he**l out of the house and call 911. The last thing you want is to see your house go up in flames or blown apart with the explosion if leaking gas ignites. An appliance with a gas fitting needs professional attention, and trying to save a few dollars by fixing it yourself could be a fatal mistake.
