Questions and Answers for HOME-FLEX Electronic Gas Leak Detector

A:  Hi, Jorge - The EGLD is designed to be used by placing the sensor within 1" of a fitting, burner, connection point, etc. If by "anywhere in the house" means, for instance, standing in the middle of your living room not close to any gas appliance, IF it does indicate the presence of gas, depart the building immediately and call the fire department and/or gas company to ascertain the situation.

A:  Yes, Ange, it should detect a gas leak from your stove. It is designed to detect natural gas, propane, methane, and butane.

A:  Hi, Chris - Very interesting question. If the dead rodent is indeed emitting methane, the detector should sense it.

A:  Hi, Liam - That means the detector is ready to work and that no leaks are detected. The indicator lights will change from green to either yellow, orange, or red and the alarm will chirp if a leak is detected.

A:  That means everything is fine. If gas is detected, the light turns to yellow or red depending on the seriousness of the leak together with a loud beeping noise. Be sure to take the cap off the wand and turn it on when you are sure there is no natural gas present—outside would be a good location choice.

A:  Clear

A:  Certainly, but not for all types of gases. It detects natural gas, butane, methane, and propane leaks.

A:  Indoors is probably the best place to use that device!

A:  Hi, Katie - Probably not. Refrigerator coolant is typically freon. Our gas leak detector is designed to detect natural gas, propane, methane, and butane.

A:  I'm not exactly sure where it's made from I could grab my stick and look at it.. BUT I will tell you it works, well. The year before last I had a gas leak and I kept walking past my furnace smelling it. I called the gas company out and they didn't find anything. A year went by and it got stronger and stronger so I had my husband go out and buy one of these things. I found the leak immediately. Call the gas company out show them where it was and it was really leaking at this point. We shut the gas off. The company my landlord hired to fix the leak tried three different times in each time the stool detected the leak again. As did the gas company. Finally the man replaced everything and the leak was FINALLY fixed. My family and I owe it all to this little tool.. I'm certain it prevented a tragedy and in turn saved our lives..

A:  Wanda - It's tough to determine your question. This gas leak detector detects 4 kinds of gas . . . . natural, liquid propane, butane and methane. It is not designed to measure air pressure.
