Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 21, 2010 7:51 pm We had moved in to our new home 2 weeks ago and I am suspecting there might be a gas leakage from our ducted heating. I could smell gas when the ducted heating is switched on. We just noticed the meter reading is 563. Previous reading was 57 20 days ago. Is this normal? I used in live in a 2 brm apartment so have no idea on meter reading and never really checked it. Planning to talk to the builder tomorrow. But, not sure how to actually confirm there is gas leakage. Any suggestions? Re: Gas Leakage 2Jul 22, 2010 8:07 am Gas leak? Take no chances... in Victoria... Quote: For gas leaks and other gas emergency assistance. Call 132 771 (any time) Can you smell gas?

Re: Gas Leakage 4Jul 23, 2010 6:38 pm If your house is fitted with a bayonet type gas connection, make/beg/buy/borrow a pressure guage that fits into the connector, turn off all appliances at the taps, then off at the meter and fit the guage and see if the system loses pressure. If the gauge holds, this will point to a leak after the stop taps, check for leaks using soapy water in a spray bottle or applied with a paintbrush.
