I must give praise when it is due...since my home is just about total
natural gas I had 6 CO detectors in different areas of my house....2 of them were 2 years old...1 I was having problems replacing batteries every 3 months (should have lasted much longer) the are 110vac powered, however for emergency a 9 volt battery is used. The other was a CO and explosive gas detector (2 in one) that was doing great for 2 years, however it gave me an error message that told me to contact the Nighthawk company. I called Nighthawk's customer service and explained the problems with my 2 detectors, after asking for the inormation listed on the detectors...date..serial# etc. told me they would send me 2 new like detectors. In 5 days I had the new detectors in my hands from Nighthawk..... In this day and age of unreliable customer service, I think it is commendable of Nighthawk...there are other companies out there that have great service also, and I surely think we should know about them when their service excells NIGHTHAWK C.O. DETECTOR (**********) 10 star rating in my book |

A gas leak isn't going to trip a smoke or CO detector, but it sure is one hell of a hazard. If more people had gas detectors I suspect a lot of lives and homes would be saved. Gas detectors are standard equipment in RVs, kind of surprising that RV standards would be ahead of residential standards. |

I know there have been fires and deaths due to explosive gas igniting, but I
think if I had to bet on it I'd bet there are many more deaths due to fires related to electrical issues and other ignition points than gas leaks. How many times have we heard of deaths in fires where the standard smoke detectors were inoperative. "Pete C." wrote in message ster.com...

On the electrical thing, we've gone from fuses to circuit breakers to ground fault circuit interrupters and now arc fault circuit interrupters. My point is that everyone knows they are supposed to have smoke detectors, and they know they should have CO detectors if they have combustion appliances, but few people think about gas detectors if they have gas appliances.
