Almost every dwelling unit and commercial building in the US has smoke detectors and more of them are adding gas detectors that sense when unhealthy levels of carbon monoxide, natural gas, or sulfur dioxide are present. These are harmful gases and besides utility workers, people who use natural gas in their homes for heating or cooking need the alarms to make sure unhealthy levels of gas do not build up.
Carbon monoxide and natural gas leaks need to be detected before they cause physical harm. Both carbon monoxide and natural gas have no odor, although all natural gas suppliers add sulfur scented compound to the gas before it is delivered to the home. Most people can smell it, but as people age, their ability to detect faint scents declines. Most gas detectors have a test button to make sure that they sense the gas and will sound the alarm and flash their lights, if equipped to give visual warnings along with the high decibel siren.
Most of the units fit on the wall close to where the source of gas leaks could start, by a furnace or a stove, for example, for early warnings of gas leaks. Carbon monoxide gas detectors should be placed near the furnace, which is the most common way that it enters a home. Some people have carbon monoxide gas detectors on every floor of their homes, while others put them near the bedrooms. New building codes require all homes and buildings to have smoke detectors, although not all require gas detectors in homes or buildings.
Gas detectors save lives and make a thoughtful gift for people who live in homes or apartments without them. They may not be the handsome or pretty, but they will save lives, and that can be the best gift anyone can get from a friend or loved one. Gas detectors are inexpensive and widely available in local retail stores or online in a variety of types and styles. Equipping your home or giving someone else a gas detector is a good way to tell them that they matter to you.
