How do know if I have a gas leak ? It's a ventless heater
My partner is putting radiant flooring with a professional in our living greenhouse. But for now he has purchased a ventless wall heater. He claims he smells nothing. I smell it in the house as he installed it and I hear hissing. I no longer have asthma but my lungs have a hard time I am dizzy coughing. He won't listen how can I do this anonymously? Someone called I was visiting my nana he told me someone called they came nothing is wrong. Oh yes there is. I smell something. I wonder is it nitrogen oxide? Please advise. Should fire department come instead of gas company he claims they came. Can you call? But I only live here I do not own the house. But I own my lungs. Thank you maybe you can send someone. I enjoy reading all your advice here.
We really can't advise too much since this is a safety matter and we really have no way to assess if you have a gas leak. I can't help you with how to go about it, its a matter of personal safety. Gas leaks will smell like rotten eggs, which comes from an additive put into gas simply to alert occupants to a leak. We have no option but to suggest you err on the side of caution, I just can't help you with how.
As for the heater - do yo mean a gas powered construction heater? I'm not entirely sure what you mean with a ventless heater so just checking. A gas construction heater is a pretty rudementary beast with a daunting flame coming out of it and without a doubt a hissing sound. But generally the gas is burned off, however it will leave a odor behind. I wish we could help more.
