If you suspect a natural gas leak, leave immediately. Don’t flip switches or use phones inside (even a cell phone!). Once safely away, call us at 800-296-9815.

As snow continues to fall, check to make sure that the location where your natural gas appliances vent to outside your home aren't covered with snow. To help keep you and your loved ones safe, gently remove snow from the area of the vents, and avoid using a snowblower for this task.

With a significant amount of snow expected this weekend, we wanted to give you an important reminder to help keep you safe. Use care when clearing snow on and around the natural gas meter. Sweep rather than use a snow blower or shovel and check that outside vents for your natural gas appliances aren’t blocked. And, if you're able, clear a path to the meter in case of an emergency. If you suspect a gas leak or need to report any damage, call us at 800-296-9815.

As the cold and snow approach over the coming days, our team will be working around the clock to provide safe, reliable service to keep our neighbors in Minnesota warm.

The CenterPoint Energy Foundation is proud to create access for students across the communities we serve to fun, interactive science experiences that help them see themselves as scientists. Can’t wait to worm our way into more hands-on learning soon! 🐛🐛
