PLUMBER'S BRAIN / GAS SMELL
Emergency

What should I do if I smell gas near a tankless water heater?

Leave the building first. Do not troubleshoot gas smell in chat.

Manufacturer-backed safety guidance

Rinnai tankless manufacturer guidance says that if gas is smelled, people should not try to light appliances, touch electrical switches, or use a phone in the building. The safe step is to leave and call the gas supplier, emergency services, or a qualified professional from a safe place.

Gas appliance installation and service should be performed by trained and qualified professionals. Clog Busterz performs licensed gas work across Richmond, Lexington, and Central Kentucky.
