Home Gas Detector Senses Toxic Fumes

Home gas detector senses toxic fumes FARM HOME Miscellaneous 11-5-31 Many poisonous gases are almost impossible to detect by the human nose. That's why an Iowa company says it developed a new home gas detector that'll let you know if natural gas, propane or carbon monoxide levels inside your house ever build to dangerous levels due to leaks or malfunction in furnace or appliances, or from a car in an attached garage. Company representative Ray Dean told FARM SHOW the new detector sets off an ear-piercing alarm when toxic gas sets it off. You can install it in the garage, basement, or any other part of the living area. The unit runs off 110-volt power, installing like a smoke detector. It's continuously self-checking and sets off an audible "chirping" sound if the unit itself ever stops working. Sells for $129.95.
