Lines were checked when we got a new hot water heater and when we got a new boiler.
Budget friendly, only so much per month. My income was never steady. I never went for this so much per month stuff. Budget? All should have an emergency fund.
If, you have gas, you should know where the shut off is. Same is true for water, electricity etc.

We do not have "plastic" gas lines in the attics of about 24,000 homes between CR-42 on the north and CR-466A on the south. This is corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) gas lines with a yellow covering to clearly indicate they are gas lines. It is thinner, flexible, easier to install, and cheaper than steel pipe. CSST was the subject of a 2007 class action lawsuit where the court found, "CSST posses unreasonable risk of fire due to lightning". The public had not been warned. At the time there was a six month window to obtain a voucher toward a lightning protection system. There was no product recall and CSST is used in over ten million homes across the country. South of SR-44 a second generation of CSST is being used that is supposed to be more resistant to lightning.
