Propane gas detectors are essential safety devices for any home that uses propane for heating, cooking or water heating. These devices sense gas when it is in the air, giving residents an alarm that signals that gas is leaking into their house. This type of warning can help avoid fires and explosions and give enough time to evacuate the premises if necessary.
Although propane gas has an odor mixed into it that helps people detect when the gas leaks into the house. An electronic detector is perfect for residences where people can�t easily recognize the smell or for homes where propane-lines run through remote areas where residents rarely go.
