I have read several posts about the lightning strikes and gas lines in the Attic


I work for a large Utility in New York. We are responsible for the installiation and upgrades of electrical and gas services to Both Residential and Commercial buildings.

I have to ask WHY in 1 story home are gas services run through the attic ?

The service line enters the building underground --why does it run to the attic and down to appliances...

It appears the Water heater is in the Garage (the model I stayed in during my visit ) The only other possible gas fired equipment would be the stove or maybe AC unit .from what I saw the AC units are Electric --and I dont think anyone is cooking in the attic...
What am I mising ?
