Going out of town? Have someone watch your home...

Yesterday was a good example of why it's important to have someone checking on your home while you're out of town.

We stopped at a client's home yesterday to take some measurements, and were welcomed by a fairly strong gas smell. We called CenterPoint Energy and sure enough...there was a gas leak! If we hadn't stopped by, there could have been signficant gas buildup by the time the owner got back home after a few weeks...a potentially dangerous situation.

When you smell gas inside your home or building:

1) Leave immediately! Do not use electric switches, telephones (including cell phones), or anything that could cause a spark.

2) Call CenterPoint Energy Emergency/Gas Leak Service - they check suspected gas leaks at no cost to you
