If a gas is escaping or an electrical line is penetrated, the excavator is required to notify emergency personnel, notify the operator, and take reasonable steps to minimize hazards to persons and property until either the operator's personnel or emergency first responders arrive on scene. Examples of reasonable steps would be to keep traffic clear of the area where the damage occurred or to evacuate the public in the area.

For any suspected gas emergency, or questions regarding a gas odor or carbon monoxide, please call us immediately at 1-800-427-2200. For additional safety information check our safety section.

In the United States, most cooling needs in the 1930s and 1940s were provided by gas. By the 1960s, electric chillers began making inroads into the cooling market due to lower cost equipment, low electric rates, and higher efficiency machines. In the 1970s, the use of gas was restricted and electric cooling use continued to increase. By 1990, only 5% of all air conditioning in the United States was provided by gas.

In many cases, the optimal cooling system would incorporate both electric and gas chillers. In a “hybrid” plant, the gas chillers may be used for the “base load” and the electric chillers would be used only during the peak cooling periods. In general, this is a more economic and more reliable solution than a thermal energy storage system.

Yes, gas service is very competitive. A family of four consumes an average of 465 therms per year totaling approximately $856.00 per year. The equivalent amount of electricity for a family of four would cost approximately $1,628.00 per year. Compared to electricity, natural and propane gas are relatively cheaper than electric energy for typical applications. Back to Top

Beans, or legumes, and other vegetables tend to cause intestinal gas. Learn why this happens and how you can prevent gas. A description of the causes, symptoms, treatments, diagnosis, and risk of colon cancer for ulcerative colitis patients. March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month! Check out articles about cancer from the About Health Guides, and a new health fact each day.

Yes. Tankless water heaters do need a larger gas line since its required Btus are higher than tank water heaters. The reason why the Btus are higher is because it needs the energy to heat the water to your set temperature in mere seconds. The actual gas line upgrade size will be depend on which tankless model you choose and the distance from the gas meter.

Yes, since the replacement of a furnace is not one of the items exempted under the Uniform Mechanical Code from the permit process. A permit would be required prior to the replacement of the existing unit. No. Once a gas service has been disconnected we are required to witness a gas test prior to authorizing reconnection. It is unlawful for anyone (including the utility) to reconnect the gas service without first receiving authorization from the Humboldt County Building & Safety Department.

All electric and gas work must be completed by licensed plumbers or electricians. Once you have decided which contractor to use, they should file a Contractor’s Work Request with Con Edison Energy Services. The most effective way to file is on-line at www.coned.com/es under Project Management.

Our tankless water heater's electric power requirement is 120V AC, which is the standard power outlet in U.S. homes. Some local codes have specific requirements on the electric connection. For example, some local codes do not allow extention cords when connecting to the power outlet. Our tankless heaters only come in gas models (natural gas or propane) to heat the water, but electricity is required for the digital remote and to power the PC board, which is the brain of the heater.

It depends on how often you are using it and under what circumstances (for example, a forklift that is used 24 hours per day, 7 days per week will needs ervice more often than one used only 2 days per week). In general, however, we recommend a lube service at least every 1000 hours or every four months - whichever comes first. Return to Top

Shortly after the gas release, Union Carbide launched an aggressive effort to identify the cause. An initial investigation by Union Carbide experts showed that a large volume of water had apparently been introduced into the methylisocyanate (MIC) tank. This caused a chemical reaction that forced the pressure release valve to open and allowed the gas to leak. A committee of experts working on behalf of the Indian government conducted its own investigation and reached the same conclusion.

Get everyone out of the house as soon as possible and call 911 from a neighbor's house. Do not turn anything electric on or off. Alert the neighbors and leave the immediate area.

Odds are you won't have a natural gas leak in your home; but if you do, your nose will let you know. While natural gas has no odor of its own, Willmut Gas adds an odorant that gives it a distinctive smell (similar to rotten eggs). Adding the odorant is one of the precautions we take to make natural gas the safest energy you can use.

I think it sometimes does. I have talked to people that had no prior problem with tearstain until the puppy was about 5 months of age. This is usually when a Maltese will start to cut their adult teeth. There really isn't much you can do other than to keep the facial hair of your Maltese as dry as possible during this time. After the teeth are in, the problem should subside.

A grill either uses a fuel such as propane, natural gas, or charcoal or it has an electric burner similar to one found in an electric kitchen range. The two kinds of gas that can be used with gas grills are Natural Gas (NG) and Propane Gas (LP). NG is usually connected to your house. It will cost more to install but is much cheaper to use. With NG you never have to refill the a tank.

Golf carts are available in gas and electric models. For most applications, either will perform. Many people prefer electric carts because they are quieter and require comparatively less maintenance. But they are dependent on an electrical source for recharging – and for that reason, other people prefer gas carts. Both types of carts have about 1000 pounds hauling capacity and will perform for 15-20 years (depending on the quality of maintenance).

We do not convert electric lanterns to gas. Most electric lanterns are not designed to handle the heat produced by a burning flame and should not be converted for safety reasons.
