Q: Do you need to wrap gas pipes for winter?

• <div><p>As long as a licensed professional installs your gas lines, you don&rsquo;t have to do anything extra to prepare for cold weather. If there are pipes that require a wrap, your installer should have done it for you already. If you want to be absolutely sure your gas system is good to go for winter, the best option is to schedule a gas line inspection. </p></div>

Q: Can you turn your own gas supply off?

• <div><p>Natural gas companies advise only shutting off the gas supply at the meter yourself if you smell natural gas or suspect there is a leak, typically following an emergency. Instead, you can shut off gas to individual appliances when necessary. If you want to turn off your natural gas entirely, you should contact your utility company. You&rsquo;ll generally also need to acquire a permit to work on your natural gas line.</p></div>

Q: Can I install a pre-fabricated gas fireplace myself?
