Would killing the main breaker at least prevent the heating of the pipes so that the expert isn’t walking into a potentially dangerous situation?

I think in this case the power heating the pipes is not coming from this house’s electrical service, so killing the main breaker probably won’t help.

I’m a little concerned killing the main breaker might result in a sudden temperature change that might fracture the gas line. Of course if you turn the gas off you might get fried.

I read that this happened due to a downed power line. Unfortunately, killing the main breaker would not do anything.
