One of the most cost-effective ways to provide heat and hot water for any home is with natural gas appliances. Natural gas is a clean-burning, efficient fuel that’s more economical than oil, propane, or electricity for heating or cooking, and it’s delivered directly to your home from your local utility provider.
When you need to install, upgrade, or repair the natural gas line in your Portland home, talk to our team at Wolfer’s Home Services. We’ve been serving Portland and Northwest Oregon since 1901, providing a full selection of plumbing, heating, and air conditioning services.

Signs You Have a Gas Leak
Gas leaks can be extremely dangerous for your home and your family, so it’s important to take action right away if you notice any of these signs of an active gas leak:
- A rotten egg or sulfur-like odor: Utility providers add mercaptan to natural gas to make it easier to detect leaks, as it produces a distinct sulfur-like odor.
- Hissing noises: A large gas leak may produce a noticeable hissing sound.
- Appliance malfunctions: If your furnace or water heater won’t turn on or stay running, there may be insufficient gas flow due to a leak.
- Unusual flames: If you notice weak or discolored flames at your stove or furnace, a leak may be affecting gas output.
- High utility bills: If your utility bills are higher than normal or gas consumption has increased, you may have a leak.
What to Do If You Suspect a Gas Leak
Because natural gas is heavier than air, even a small leak can allow the gas to accumulate unnoticed in your home, leading to high risks of fire or even explosions if a spark occurs. If you suspect that you have a gas leak, gather your family and exit your home immediately, leaving the door open to help dissipate the gas. Do not unplug anything, operate any switches, or use any appliances.
Call 911 from a safe location, like a neighbor’s home, to report the problem, and call your utility provider to have the gas shut off. Once the authorities have deemed your home safe, call our team at Wolfer’s for gas line repairs.
