Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Before booking a repair, if it's safe to do so from outside, note whether the smell is near the unit only or spreading through the room. Also, if you smell gas, don't check anything yourself — shut off the gas supply valve if it's safely reachable, open windows, and don't touch switches or open flames. Beyond that, a gas smell is a safety emergency, not a repair question, so leave the area, call your gas utility's emergency line, and only bring in a technician once it's confirmed safe.
