Propane/Natural Gas Leak Detector Alarm - Home Gas Tester Sensor Sniffer for Monitoring Combustible Explosive Gas Levels

RC: My husband approved for he tested it twice here in the house and it really does what it’s was for. Although we have not tried it with a gas stove yet. We’ll be using this for a trip which 90% uses propane tanks / LPG tanks for cooking.

Daniel K.: Very easy to install. Bought it to replace an older device to measure eventual leaks in the basement equipment. So far did not had any alarms.

Linda: I kept telling my spouse I could smell propane outdoors at the whole house automatic transfer generator. He kept telling me he didn’t smell a thing - for months. Turns out we had two separate slight leaks at connections. When I contacted the gas company, one of the first things they had us do is turn off the propane at the tank. When I installed the detector, the spot I chose was in a corner next to the dining buffet - only chosen because it made the unit easily accessible as well as virtually unseen. It just so happens the 120 gallon propane tank is on the other side of the wall in a somewhat recessed area outside our mobile home. So once the tank was shut off, the safety valve released a small amount of gas……and this detector on the other side of the wall inside detected it and the warning alarm sounded. Leaks were corrected, gas is back on and I have more confidence now this unit is protecting us.

TAK: Update - I realized our other natural gas detector is at 0 when this one is at 4... same location ... and I moved this one around the house - and always 4 the other one always 0- but I did the lighter test with the other one to confirm that one works perfectly fine - so this one just is not working correctly- after about 6 months of use.

The hardest part was setting it up as they say (so high up, but not above the stove, not by a window ... etc)
We got this after we found a gas leak right after moving into our new place. But it seems to consistently be at a 2-4% ... which I don’t get why because the gas company has been to our house saying all is fine.
However... this morning our heat went out which was an issue with the air intake and outtake from the house (condensation and freezing) and this thing woke us as it went off.
We have a different one not as sensitive plugged in until we decide if this one with such a low % alarm rate is the right fit for us. I honestly don’t like it created a false alarm for us. ... there was a build up of gas but not in a harmful way and we would have woken cold and realized that the heater was out. ... instead we woke half...

Old iron guy: I felt that it would be much safer in a household using propane for heat, hot water, and cooking to have a propane detector to alert us about a leak or a stove burner inadvertently left on but not lit. This product was the best one I could find for our situation. It has a cord so it can be plugged in to an outlet for power, rather than relying on a battery; thus the detector can be located where it is most likely to respond, even if the wall outlet is not right in that spot (ours wasn't.) The alert when gas is detected is loud and unmistakable. It appears to be well made and practical and comes with an ebook of good information and instructions for best use and safety. The price was right, shipping was fast, and the end product was a safer situation for us. Some might prefer battery operation, but our appliances won't be in use if there is a power outage of any reasonable length, and I worry that a battery might go dead without warning, leaving us unprotected. So far, I have nothing but good to report about this product.
