How to check the gas in your home
Is it leaking?
1. Smell with your nose
Household gas is odorized before entering the resident's home, so that the gas has a smell similar to rotten eggs, which is convenient for timely detection when leaking.
2. Look at the gas meter
In the case of completely no gas, check whether the number in the red box at the end of the gas meter is moving, and if you walk, you can judge that there is a leak (such as stove, water heater, hose connected to the gas meter, interface).
3. Spray soapy water
Adjust the soap or washing powder into soap liquid with water, and apply it to the gas pipe, gas meter hose, plug switch and other places that are prone to air leakage in turn to check whether the gas leaks. If the soap liquid leaks from the gas, it will be blown into a bubble by the leaked gas.
4. Use a professional gas leak alarm
When the gas leak reaches a certain concentration, the professional alarm will emit a rapid "tick" sound.
If a gas leak is found

2. Quickly open doors and windows for ventilation
After closing the main gate, the next step is to open the door and open the window for ventilation, so that the natural gas in the home can be emitted as soon as possible and reduce the indoor natural gas concentration.
3, once the leakage occurs, the home should avoid all sources of fire
