I moved my boiler recently and being the worrier that I am I have to keep
testing it so that I don't fear blowing the street up.

In order for an explosion like in the link above, I presume it would be
impossible for enough gas to leak into an occupied house without an
overpowering stink.

IIRC you need between 5% and 15% concentration to be in the explosive
range... so that is quite a high volume of gas when you think about the
volume of a typical room.
