Igesi yemvelo iwumthombo oyinhloko wokuphila kwabantu kwansuku zonke, kodwa bambalwa abantu abaziyo ukuthi igesi yemvelo ivelaphi noma ukuthi idluliselwa kanjani emadolobheni nasemakhaya.

Ngemva kokukhishwa kwegesi yemvelo, indlela evame kakhulu ukusebenzisa amapayipi ahamba amabanga amade noma amaloli amathangi ukuthutha igesi yemvelo enoketshezi. Ngenxa yezici zegesi yemvelo, ayikwazi ukugcinwa futhi ihanjiswe ngokucindezelwa okuqondile, ngakho-ke ivame ukuhanjiswa ngamapayipi amade noma igcinwe emathangeni ngokuxutshwa. Amapayipi namaloli athutha igesi yemvelo eziteshini ezinkulu zegesi yemvelo, bese, igesi izohanjiswa eziteshini zamasango ezincane emadolobheni ahlukahlukene.

Ohlelweni lwegesi yasemadolobheni, isiteshi sesango legesi yemvelo yedolobha siyisiteshi sokugcina solayini ohamba ibanga elide ohambisa igesi, owaziwa nangokuthi isiteshi sokusabalalisa igesi. Isiteshi segesi yemvelo siyingxenye ebalulekile yohlelo lokudluliswa nokusabalalisa igesi yemvelo, futhi iyindawo yomthombo wegesi yokudluliswa nokusabalalisa inethiwekhi emadolobheni nasezindaweni zezimboni. Igesi yemvelo kufanele ithunyelwe kunethiwekhi yasemadolobheni yokudlulisela nokusabalalisa noma ngokuqondile kubasebenzisi abakhulu bezimboni nabezentengiselwano kuphela ngemva kokuhlolwa kwendawo kanye nokunuka. Lokhu kudinga ukusetshenziswa kwezihlungi, amamitha okugeleza,ama-valve epayipi legesi kagesi, kanye nezinye izinto zokwakha isethi ephelele yesistimu yokucubungula igesi.

Ekugcineni, igesi izongena ezinkulungwaneni zemizi ngamapayipi edolobha. Idivayisi erekhoda ukusetshenziswa kwegesi ekhaya yimitha yegesi yasendlini, kanye nemotor valve in gas metresasetshenziselwa ukulawula ukuvulwa noma ukuvala ukunikezwa kwegesi. Uma umsebenzisi esemva, ii-valve yemitha yegesiizovalwa ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi akekho osebenzisa igesi engakhokhelwa.
