I heard that it was because the regulators were inside the houses, and not performing correctly. whereas, if they are outside the home, and not performing correctly, the gas is let out into the atmosphere, instead of building up inside the home. thank you for your tips on this matter!

If you're going to hire someone to check for gas leaks, make sure it's a licensed plumber that can also repair any potential leaks. I'm guessing this would be less than $100. Having said that, I don't think you need to hire anyone to come in. If you have a gas leak, you should be able to smell it. You can buy the leak detection solution that I mentioned in my blog at Home Depot for about five bucks, and you can swab this on any suspicious areas. Good luck! Hi Linda,

Lots of good information. On average, what should it cost to have someone come in and check for leaks? My home is over 60 years old and would love to put my mind at ease. Shoot! I just had the house inspected for refinancing. Probably could have gotten some info then... Thanks, Linda Reuben,
