This natural gas alarm works similarly to a smoke detector but is specifically designed for natural gas, such as the type used for cooking in NYC. I’m a landlord, and I wanted to install gas detectors in all my units. I tested this one before installing it to see if it would detect the gas from the stove if I turned on the stove without igniting the gas. The alarm started beeping within 30 seconds. The manual states that it has a service life of 5 years. This is fine. I imagine that the sensor will be full of cooking grease at this time anyways so I would need to replace the alarm anyways. It is really easy to install. Insert the batteries and drill two screws into the wall, just as you would with smoke detectors.

This product didn't work, it kept giving a fault, it shipped with old batteries, and whether inside the RV or outside in fresh air was stuck on 190 ppm - and 9 ppm is deadly. We threw it away.

I'm mostly pleased with this detector as it seems to detect gas reliably. The installation was easy enough and the instruction manual is mostly clear about where to mount the unit. The device definitely functions correctly as I was able to get it to go off by holding it near my unlit stove. The biggest issue I have is with the instructions. They are not written in a way that instills confidence in this device. The manual contains odd grammar and punctuation that you don't want to see for a device that I'm using to protect my family from Co2 and gas leaks. One of the only things I would potentially understand about the quality of this product is the instruction manual and it's clear many corners were cut putting it together. The detector does work though but I don't know that I will ever 100% trust this device.

I grabbed this combo CO and explosive gas detector hoping for some solid peace of mind in the RV, especially since it covers propane and natural gas leaks along with carbon monoxide, and overall, I'm quite satisfied, it generally does what it's supposed to do, which is the main thing, right? What I really like is having that dual protection in one unit, super convenient, and the digital display showing CO levels is a nice touch, also having that battery backup gives some comfort if the main power goes out. Setup is basically just plugging it in, which is super easy. Now, for a tiny critique, it can be a bit sensitive and might trigger false alarms for the explosive gas part occasionally. Also, keep in mind it needs to be plugged into an AC outlet for primary power, the battery is just for backup, which is important to remember depending on your RV's power setup.

I put this in my furnace room, which also holds my gas water heater. Natural gas is currently our cleanest scalable energy source, handily beating intermittent sources such as wind and solar (which, when you look at all the inputs, are far dirtier than their advocates claim). But wind and solar don't have piping or appliances that can leak, gas does. And a gas furnace system can develop problems that lead to gas being in the heated space. The first line of defense is regular system inspections by a qualified person (e.g., certified HVAC tech). Adding a CO and natural gas detector like this provides additional peace of mind. It also gives you more time to respond, which is a huge plus.But this one does more than what you might guess from experience with typical gas detector alarms. It displays the the PPM of CO, something that certified HVAC tech can make sense of. It is, however, a blind alarm for natural gas. This isn't a problem, since mercaptan is added to the natural gas supply so that we humans can readily detect its presence. So you don't need to know the PPM or the % LEL (Lower Explosive Limit). But there is a problem, namely that you have to be near enough the gas to smell it. Placing this device near a gas stove, furnace, or water heater solves that problem.If the alarm goes off, it would seem like the first thing you do is shut off the gas valve (located outside, by the meter). But this requires a wrench, and it takes too much time to get one. Your priority is to get outside before you succumb to the gas. So get outside and call 911 to report the leak. If you can quickly open a window before exiting, that is great. If not, don't worry. If it's cold outside, grab a coat and make sure you have shoes on because you won't be going back inside for a while and you may be called upon to direct traffic or perform some other function. But stay out of the way other than doing exactly what you've been asked to do.This device uses 3 AA batteries. Alkalines come with it, I will replace those with rechargeables once they die.This comes with everything you need to mount it, and there's no programming needed. Just push the button to turn it on. Then check it periodically to see that the display is still on, if not then replace the batteries.

A bare-bones 'Sensor' which is about all it says on the box. The directions (diagrams and numbers) inside are either microscopically unreadable or almost completely uninformative. Turning it on, the largest read-out window lit up and read '70 ppm' which some research indicates would be dangerous over a few hours of time. In a state of mild alarm, it hung there several minutes until it dropped to 58 ppm. Nothing in the directions tells you what you see in the window means, or the threshold level of ppm that will make the alarm go off. Zero guidance or help. Since the window stayed lit I assumed it was designed to display a continuous, ever changing read out (ideally you want to see '0') but alas, after setting it up in the hall and taking a look the next morning, the big, lit window was dark, but the flashing green light indicated it was working. Who knows? Gambling with my life that it's better than nothing.
