One thing you can rule out on your own: 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. If it's still acting up after that, any further diagnosis — finding the actual leak point — needs a combustible gas detector and licensed training, not a nose and a guess.
