If you smell gas, follow these steps straight away:

Do this first:

• Turn off all gas appliances.
• Don’t smoke or use matches, candles, or any naked flames.
• Don't switch anything electrical on or off, that includes doorbells, lights, or appliances.
• Open windows and doors to let fresh air in.
• Check if any appliance has been left on without being lit.

Still smell gas?

• Turn off the gas at the meter.
• Call the Bord Gáis 24-hour emergency number: 1800 20 50 50.

To turn the gas off:

• Make sure all gas appliances and pilot lights are switched off.
• Find the safety shut-off valve, it’s usually in your gas meter box outside your home.
• Turn the valve so it’s at a right angle to the pipe, this means the gas is off.

To turn the gas back on:

• Turn the valve back to its original position, so it’s in line with the pipe.

Need help?

• If you can’t reach or turn the valve, call Bord Gáis Networks on 1800 200 694.

Here are some simple steps to help keep your home safe:

• Planning home changes?

If you're making changes that might affect your gas system, get advice from a Registered Gas Technician. You can find one on the RGI website.

• Keep vents clear

Never block a ventilator, it’s there to make sure your gas appliances get enough air to work safely.

• Use a qualified installer

Gas boilers and appliances should be installed by a Registered Gas Technician, following Irish Standard 813:2002 Domestic Gas Installations.

• Use appliances properly

Only use gas appliances for what they’re made for, for example, don’t use a cooker to heat a room.

• Check for faults

If you think a gas appliance might be faulty, don’t use it. Get it checked by a professional.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a very dangerous gas.

It’s:

• Colourless, you can’t see it
• Odourless, you can’t smell it
• Tasteless, you can’t detect it by taste

Breathing it in can cause serious illness or even death.

Where does it come from?
Carbon Monoxide can be produced when fossil fuels like natural gas are burned.

It’s most likely to build up when:

• Appliances are poorly installed, damaged, or not maintained
• There’s not enough ventilation in the room

You can find a list of Registered Gas Installers in your area on the RGI website.

Tip:
It’s a good idea to contact at least three installers so you can compare prices and services.

Meters are being replaced with smart meters to help future-proof Irish homes and deliver benefits for:

You (the customer):

• No more estimated bills, smart meters send automatic readings.
• You’ll get clear, up-to-date information about your energy use.
• This helps you choose the best tariff and manage your bills more easily.
• Smart meters also give you access to new products and services.

The environment:

• Smart meters encourage energy efficiency.
• They support the use of more renewable energy.
• This helps reduce CO₂ emissions and Ireland’s reliance on fossil fuels.

The economy:

• Smart meters help manage energy demand more efficiently.
• This supports a more stable and cost-effective energy system.

Want to learn more? Check out our Guide to Smart Meters for everything you need to know.

Yes. All data from your smart meter is:

• Encrypted, so it’s protected from unauthorised access.
• Securely stored in a central system called the Meter Data Management System (MDMS), which is operated by ESB Networks.

ESB Networks follows strict data protection rules to keep your personal information safe.

For more information, visit the ESB Smart meters and data page.

If you rely on medical equipment, it’s important to register with us as a vulnerable customer. This gives you extra protections, including protection from disconnection.

How to register:

• Fill out our Vulnerable Customer Registration Form.
• Once registered, we’ll share your details with ESB Networks or Gas Networks Ireland so they know not to disconnect your supply.

If you’re aged 66 or over, you can register with us as a Vulnerable Customer. This protects you from having your electricity or gas supply disconnected during the winter months (1st November to 31st March).

How to register:

• Fill out our Vulnerable Customer Registration Form.
• Once registered, you’ll be added to the Special Services Register with ESB Networks or Gas Networks Ireland.
• They guarantee your supply will not be disconnected during winter.

According to the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU), a Vulnerable Customer is defined as a person who is:

Critically dependent on electrically powered equipment. This includes (but is not limited to) life protecting devices, assistive technologies to support independent living and medical equipment, or

Particularly vulnerable to disconnection during winter months for reasons of advanced age or physical, sensory, intellectual or mental health.
