Out here it is usually propane from a tank rather than piped natural gas, and that changes both the work and who does what.
Propane is its own trade
Regulators, tank connections and line sizing all differ from natural gas. Your propane supplier looks after the tank and the regulator at it; the lines and appliances beyond that are ours. Knowing where that line falls avoids two people each assuming the other is dealing with it.
Standby generators matter more here
This is the practical one. Rural areas sit at the end of the line when power is restored, so outages last longer, and if you are on a well an outage means no water at all. A properly sized standby generator is not a luxury out here — and the part most often got wrong is the gas supply feeding it, because it gets specified without accounting for everything else on the line.
If you smell gas
Leave the house first, then call from outside. Do not operate switches on your way out. With propane, be aware it is heavier than air and settles low, so a smell in a crawl space or a low outbuilding deserves particular caution.
Everything permitted and tested
Licensed, permitted, pressure tested and inspected, every time.
