Whole-home gas leak test (meter, shutoffs, appliances)
Why it matters
Range-only leak checks miss critical appliances like dryers, water heaters, furnaces, and the meter connection itself—the biggest gas-safety blind spot in most homes. Undetected leaks at these hidden connections can lead to carbon monoxide buildup or explosion.
Stop forgetting to do this.
Hearth generates a personalized maintenance schedule so you never miss another whole-home gas leak test (meter, shutoffs, appliances).
