FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
How do I know if I am smelling Natural Gas?
In its natural state, natural gas is odorless and colorless. To make gas leaks easier to detect, a odorant called Mercaptan is added to create a distinct natural gas smell similar to sulphur or rotting eggs. The stronger the smell is, the more likely it is that you have a gas leak. If you think you can smell natural gas, please contact the office immediately.
I am looking to install a secondary gas line from my house to my new shop. Is this something Foothills Gas can do for me?
Absolutely! Please contact the office with the details of work required and get a cost estimate FREE OF CHARGE. Please note we will not build any secondary gas lines without a Permit from the applicable County.
My meter is out in the middle of the yard. Can Foothills Gas move it for me? How much will this cost?
Yes, we can absolutely move the gas meter at the landowner(s) request. This is a billable service so if you are interested in having your meter moved, please contact the office and get a FREE cost estimate
