Works Great! by Brigham (Oakley, UT United States)  5 Stars
June 18, 2009
I have a propane furnace. I have read many reviews about this Gas Detector and was a little skeptical about buying it. I bought it about 6 months ago and have loved it. It has never had a problem. I did spray the house once using Lysol and the alarm went off. Good to see that it works on a variety of different gases. Would recommend to anyone! I give the alarm a full 5 stars.

second detector. by HDS (Wheelersburg, OH)  4 Stars
October 23, 2008
This is our second combustible gas detector. We added this one when we installed a second gas-log fireplace in the new room. These units work well, especially for propane which can collect along the floors and low places in the home. Most outlets are placed perfectly for detecting it. No wiring, no installation. Just plug it in and it starts working.
The instructions are very good and easy to read and follow.
I tested the unit by using an extension cord and placing it in the firebox while I pushed in on the pilot light valve. The unit triggered right away so it takes very little gas to set it off. The unit also has a test button so you don't have to do this. (I just wanted to see if propane would really set it off. Not that I don't trust test buttons, but real gas is better than a test button in my mind.) Most LP vendors will test your detectors for free with a spray can of propane. (This is the way we had the first detector tested.)
The alarm on this unit is a little louder than on our older one but still not as loud as I would like. We can hear it from anywhere in the house so it will work. In any case, I believe it is loud enough to wake me up if I was sleeping. Still, I wouldn't mind a louder alarm.
There is a blinking indicator light so you can tell the unit is working.
Neither unit has triggered falsely. And we have had no leaks but I feel safer with the detectors.
For the price I don't think you can find a better unit, and certainly not find one easier to install.
