Natural & propane gas
are the safest and most reliable fuels available. At Greater Dickson Gas
Authority, we want you to know how to use gas appliances safely.
We encourage everyone in your household to learn how to properly operate
appliances and to become familiar with safety precautions. It also is important
that you operate and maintain your gas equipment in accordance with the
manufacturer's instruction.
If you have any questions or need help, experienced GDGA personnel can assist
you. Please contact us.
How to get the most out of your gas
appliances:
Periodically, you should inspect the
burner flames of your gas appliance. The flame should burn with a clear blue
color. If it is blue, chances are your burner is adjusted properly and is doing
its job. A yellow flame may indicate that your burner isn't operating
efficiently. Call GDGA for a trained technician to perform any needed
adjustments.
Don't try to service gas burners
yourself - call a qualified technician or call the GDGA for a trained technician
to come out to your home to spot and solve any problems.
Be sure to have your gas logs or
heater cleaned and serviced before every heating season.
Carbon Monoxide can come from many
sources, not just natural or propane gas equipment. If you have an attached
garage, you could have a problem with carbon monoxide. Even cigarettes produce
carbon monoxide. It's never a bad idea to have at least one carbon monoxide
detector installed in your home.
