The Best Gas Leak Detectors for Your Home

Equip your house with one of these high-tech detectors that can alert you about harmful gas leaks in any room

Dangerous gas leaks like carbon monoxide are invisible and undetectable to our senses and to ordinary devices like a smoke alarm. They’re also colorless and odorless, and can cause symptoms such as memory loss, shortness of breath, even death in the most extreme cases. Having a designated detector at home is a small financial investment for something that can be life-saving in the long run.

What Are the Most Common Harmful Gas Leaks at Home?

Carbon monoxide and radon top the list. Though they’re both common and dangerous in differing ways, they each require a separate detector for the most accurate readings.

Carbon monoxide can stem from appliances like boilers, central heating systems, water heaters, cookers, and anything that uses gas, oil, coal and particularly the smoke from burning wood in a fireplace with a closed flue. It’s near impossible to know if something is emitting CO, but if an appliance has a yellowish-brown stain around it, it’s a bad sign, and all the more reason to get a good detector and call your gas company.

How Do I Detect Harmful Gas Leaks at Home?

Having a specific detector is the best, if not the only, way to be alerted if these leaks are occurring in your house. While the symptoms of carbon monoxide show up as soon as you’re exposed, radon poisoning, for instance, could take years before any signs of illness start. There’s no medical test to show if you’ve been exposed to radon, making it extra important to catch it early by installing a reliable detector.

The good news is that once you find out if there’s radon at home, it’s possible, with the help of professionals, to fix the problem and install proper ventilation.

What Are the Best Gas Leak Detectors?

These four detectors cover carbon monoxide, radon, propane, methane and smoke, and are designed to be on guard 24/7 to alert you if there’s a leak.

1. A6 Air Quality Monitor
With its easy-to-use app, reliable and intuitive information, and versatile smart-home integrations, this is the device we’d turn to first to find out whether an air purifier or HVAC filter was working as expected.

2. CM100 Carbon Monoxide Detector
This unit protects you and your family from carbon monoxide. With a digital display that’s easy to read, and a memory that shows the highest levels that it detected. The alarm is seriously loud, about 85db/3m, designed to wake up even the deepest sleeper and then silence it as you’re headed outside.

3. YB035 Smoke Detector
YB035 is a photoelectric smoke detector which can support NB-IOT wireless transportation. It adopts photoelectric sensor and advanced dual optical path design. When the smoke concentration reaches to danger level, the detector will give visual& audible alarm and send warning information to the management platform simultaneously.

4. I1 Natural Gas Detector and Propane Detector
Propane leak detection usually flies under the radar with gas alarms, but Cazoner hasn’t forgotten about it with this model. Installation is as easy as plugging it in, and its small size means it doesn’t cover up other outlets either. The medical-grade polycarbonate material is flame-resistant, and stands up to oxidation over time, while the unit uses an impressively low amount of power – only .3W.
