My wife's parents complained about an intermittent gas smell in their basement a week or so after a standby generator was installed. They had the contractor, the gas company, and the fire department out at different times, and the basement was scanned with their test equipment. They were told the smell must be coming from work being done on another condo unit in their building (or they were imagining things). So I bought them this little detector, and a couple of days ago it detected gas. They had the contractor back in to look at the detector reading, and the contractor found a defective pressure regulator on the generator. This was a great investment.

I just got this today and after reading the very good instruction sheet I had it plugged into a ceiling cellar outlet in 10 minutes. I notice many people complain that it uses so much space on a standard duplex AC outlet that nothing else can be plugged in. A slender 2 prong power cord (for an LED 4 foot light in this case) still fit. (P.4). Or you could get an outlet extender from AMAZON - I really like this one "Wall Outlet Extender, AnnTane Multi Plug Outlet with 3usb and 1usbc USB Wall Charge Wall Surge Protector Power Strip(1728J) Wide Spaced Plug Extender..." and problem is solved! Plus this extender has a center screw to hold it to the duplex outlet which most don't. The alarm is noticeable but could be a bit louder (from my upstairs) and I did not see a "TEST" button. I checked mine with a whiff of propane from an unlighted torch and it did fine.Gas leaks are the cause of house fires and explosions. The earth can shift from seismic activity, ground slumping due to water, etc. all of which can strain the natural gas piping enough for a leak! It can even enter your basement through a sewer line from a gas line nearby leaking into your sewer line even if you have NO gas piping. Natural Gas is lighter than air so migrates upwards. Sewers are draining downwards to the street from your house...You get the picture, I'm sure.My cellar has a gas furnace, gas dryer, and gas water heater. This is darn cheap insurance for my peace of mind & family safety. If there is no high outlet, use an extension cord or get one installed; I had one ideally located under the bedrooms on the cellar ceiling joist & away from the appliances.I Highly Recommend this LLCHB Brand Gas Leak Detector, Natural Digital Gas Detector, Home Gas Alarm, Gas Leak Detector,High Sensitivity LPG LNG Coal Natural Gas Leak Detection, Alarm Monitor Sensor. Any similar one will do. Do this soon!I hope you’ve found the information and my review helpful.

I have just moved into a home with natural gas heat and water heater, and my lungs are pretty sensitive so I want to avoid buildup of fumes. This is a useful device but the mounting instructions seem puzzling to me. The instructions say that for natural gas, mount it near the ceiling. (For propane mount it low because propane fumes are heavier.)So here’s the thing: this is a plug-in device. None of my outlets are near the ceiling. The only ones that are not near the floor are under the kitchen cabinets, and since I don’t have a gas stove, it is unlikely that fumes will accumulate there. I suppose I can run an extension cord, but that is generally not ideal for alarms, plus it will look funky. I guess I will have a handyman help me out when I have to hire him for something else at the same time.The instruction sheet seems pretty thorough, although there are a lot of do’s and don’ts such as do not spray aerosols near the alarm. The box tells us this is made in Shenzhen, China. Specifications on the box say the operator temperature is between “-10 +50” but does not specify Fahrenheit or Celsius. I took a photo of the side of the box because I will throw it away and just keep the instruction sheet with my collection of manuals. The picture shows several foreign plugs but they are not in the box. My device came with the plug we use in my country.When plugged in, the alarm shows a big lighted zero on a bright red background that is slightly jarring, so that is a consideration as far as placement. Over all, I think this is a worthwhile safety device.

We have used a plug-in gas detector like this for several years in our laundry room where we run propane to the clothes dryer. What you want from something like this is no action. It’s only there to go off if you get a leak. Our last unit finally died and we got this inexpensive detector to replace it.You can test to see that it’s working and they recommend you check it out each week. Apart from that, you simply plug it into an electric outlet near, and preferably above, the gas connection in the room. When you first plug it in, it flashes as it automatically sets itself up, and then goes steady, “0” showing in the digital window, and that’s all there is too it.$22 for this kind of peace of mind from a detector that could save your life if there ever was a gas leak, is well worth it.

I needed a gas leak alarm in the furnace room. Even though this one isn't a well known brand name, the price is very reasonable, so I decided to give it a try.When first powered up, it takes a few minutes to warm up, during which it's LEDs blink.When it said it was ready I tested it by putting an unlit butane lighter to it's vents. The response was an instant and loud siren type alarm. As the gas cleared, the display counted down to lower numbers and the alarm changed to a less frantic beeping. Ended back at zero and no alarm. It obviously works!Plugs into a normal US power outlet, but it blocks the second outlet, so I won't be plugging anything else in there.The display is *very* bright. Not for sleeping areas.Overall, this appears to be an excellent gas alarm.
