🛢️ I smell gas — who do I call?

Direct answer

Open windows, do not switch anything on or off — no lights, no phone inside, no doorbell — leave the building, and call the gas emergency number of Liechtensteinische Gasversorgung — Notruf (+423 236 15 00) from outside; it is free and staffed 24/7. If someone is unwell or the smell is strong, 112 — emergency (112). The gas company comes, makes it safe and tells you what was wrong. The landlord pays for repairs to the installation; Amt für Umwelt / Amt für Gesundheit (llv.li) can inspect an installation the landlord neglects.

❓ Frequently asked

Is the emergency call free?

Yes, and it does not go on your bill. Never hesitate because of cost.

I am not sure it is gas

Call anyway. A false alarm costs nothing; a real one costs a building.

The landlord will not service the boiler

Annual gas safety checks are a legal duty in most countries; report to Amt für Umwelt / Amt für Gesundheit and refuse to use an uncertified appliance.
