Gas Leak Alarm FAQ Section
Q: Where should I install my gas leak alarm?
A: Install gas leak alarms near potential gas sources like water heaters, furnaces, or gas lines, but not closer than 5 feet. For natural gas (lighter than air), mount near the ceiling. For propane (heavier than air), install near the floor. Avoid placement near windows, vents, or areas with high humidity.
Q: How often should I test my gas leak alarm?
A: Test your gas leak alarm monthly by pressing the test button. Perform actual gas detection tests every 6 months using approved test gas. Replace backup batteries annually (if applicable) and replace the entire unit every 5-7 years as sensor sensitivity degrades over time.

Q: What should I do when my gas leak alarm sounds?
A: Immediately evacuate all occupants, avoid creating sparks (don't flip switches), leave doors open as you exit, and call emergency services from a safe location. Do not re-enter the premises until professionals declare it safe. Have your gas system inspected before restoring service.
