Regulator buzzing

Hi there,
I have a natural gas boiler and starting in the spring, and continuing over summer, the regulator occasionally buzzes. It isn’t every time it runs, and it doesn’t seem to do it over winter, when the boiler is cycling more often. What is the deal?

Cut wires

I cut a couple wires around the meter. I didn’t see while trimming back bushes. Cause for major concern?

At least they didn't guess......

Well, it's certainly gas..... how much? You'll have to get a shovel and find out.

Help me understand what happened?

Everyone who was upstairs was feeling ill. The oven was left on, by someone else so I dont know how long, all day likely. I started feeling short of breath for a few hours , took my inhaler, figured the shortness of breath was just my asthma, but it progressively got worse and I became dizzy and weak. Eventually I realized the oven was left on. I turned it off, opened a bunch of windows and sat next to one and started smelling sulfur. Thought I was crazy for a moment bc I mostly smelled it coming from the windows. But me and the other person sitting next to the window on the couch both kept feeling worse and worse to the point where my vision faded and my while body felt like it was on fire. About 15 minutes after noticing the oven, I yelled for everyone to get out, and almost immediately after getting out i felt relief. We called 911. They took about 15 minutes to get there. By the time they got there they didnt find anything besides the gas meter being near the window. They said its normal for it to burp. But that being next to the window wouldnt cause any symptoms. Is that actually normal and is that true? Would there be more gas burping if an oven had been left on all day? My vitals were mostly normal besides some tachycardia. I felt better the longer I was outside. So did everyone else. Im just a little confused. Is it possible maybe it was the oven? And that opening the windows left nothing to be found? It is a gas oven. I have honestly never felt that ill that fast before. Nothing made it better besides going outside. Normally if I am dizzy and short of breath sitting and having my inhaler helps.

More than 1,000 active gas leaks in Miami. Has it impacted you?

I’m a reporter with the Miami Herald. I wrote about a house in Morningside that dropped in value 50% because a gas leak from the 80’s never was cleaned up.

There’s a state fund for cleaning it up, but in the case of this homeowner it’s been ineffective and slow at best.

Has a gas leak impacted you or anyone you know?
