How a Gas Leak Detector Works

A gas leak detector can help keep your family and pets safe by alerting you to dangerous levels of combustible gases like carbon monoxide, propane, or natural gas. These non-corrosive gases are produced when combustible fuel is burned in stoves, furnaces, or automobile engines. When not properly vented, these odorless gases can build up and cause poisoning or even death in humans and animals. In order to protect against these dangers it is important to choose the right type of gas leak detector, install it in the right location, and understand how it works.

Most models work by detecting carbon dioxide or combustible gases that are released from burning the combustible fuel. To detect combustible gases, models have a sensor that reacts with the gas in the air to produce a signal. This is then detected by a microprocessor that can tell whether there are high levels of combustible gases present and alert the user accordingly.
