Signs You May Have a Gas Leak
Some of these are obvious. Others aren’t — which is why knowing the full list matters:
- The smell of sulfur or rotten eggs inside or near your home
- A hissing or whistling sound near a gas line, meter, or appliance
- Visible damage to a gas line — physical impact, corrosion, or disconnection
- A gas appliance pilot light that keeps going out
- Your gas bill has increased significantly without a change in usage
- Dead or discolored vegetation in a line along your yard where gas lines run
- Bubbling in standing water near a gas meter or outdoor line
- Physical symptoms when indoors — unexplained dizziness, headaches, or nausea that improve when you go outside
If you notice any of the first three signs — leave the building immediately. Don’t turn lights on or off, don’t use any electronics, don’t open windows. Go outside, move away from the building, call 911 and your gas utility.

Boiler Installation — When It's Time for a New System
High-Efficiency Boiler Installation
Today’s condensing boilers achieve efficiency ratings of 90–98% AFUE — compared to 70–80% for many older systems. Over a Michigan heating season, that difference adds up substantially on your gas bill. We install high-efficiency hot water boilers across all major brands and handle the full installation including gas connection, venting, controls integration, and system commissioning.
Proper System Sizing
Boiler sizing matters more than most homeowners realize. An oversized boiler short-cycles — firing and shutting off repeatedly without running long enough to operate efficiently. An undersized unit runs continuously on the coldest days and still can’t keep up. We perform a proper heat loss calculation for every installation to ensure your new boiler is correctly sized for the specific heat distribution system in your home.
Radiator & Baseboard Upgrades
Sometimes a boiler replacement is an opportunity to address the distribution system as well — replacing old cast iron radiators, upgrading baseboard units, or adding zone controls that weren’t possible with the old system. We handle the full scope of hydronic heating work, not just the boiler itself.

FAQ Gas Leak Detection in Washtenaw County
Leave immediately without touching any electrical switches or devices, move at least 100 feet from the building, and call us at (734)450-5658 from outside. If you see flames or hear a loud hissing sound, call 911 first. Do not re-enter the building until a licensed professional has inspected and cleared the system.
We use professional electronic gas detection equipment that can identify leaks too small to smell but large enough to be dangerous. This allows us to pinpoint the exact location of a leak without unnecessary exploratory work. We also perform pressure testing to verify the integrity of the entire gas supply system.
In most cases, yes. We arrive equipped to repair the most common types of gas leaks — faulty fittings, damaged flex connectors, failed shutoff valves, and pipe section replacements. More extensive repairs involving the main supply line may require a return visit, but we'll tell you upfront what's involved.
TracPipe is a brand of corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) used for gas supply lines in residential and commercial buildings. It's more flexible and easier to install than rigid black iron pipe. Certification matters because CSST has specific bonding requirements that must be followed correctly — an improperly bonded system can be damaged by lightning-induced electrical surges. Our certification means we install it correctly every time.
Older homes with original black iron pipe gas systems are worth having inspected, particularly if the pipes are more than 30–40 years old, have visible corrosion, or are in areas prone to movement or vibration. We perform gas pressure testing to assess the integrity of the full system. It's a relatively simple inspection that provides meaningful peace of mind.
Yes. We connect and reconnect gas supply lines to all gas appliances furnaces, boilers, water heaters, ranges, dryers, and gas fireplaces. Every connection includes a proper shutoff valve and leak testing after installation.
Gas leaks are the one HVAC situation where calling sooner always beats waiting.
