Yep—39 homes!

Interesting. I would never have thought of a gas detector before Covid. After we all lost our smell for two weeks, we would not have noticed a gas leak. Normally, my wife could smell an outside pinhole leak from inside sitting in a closet.

Leveled 39 homes? No. Damaged maybe. But not leveled.

Electronic gas detector alarms are cheap - I bought one for 25 bucks on Amazon.

Does it detect actual leaks of gas prior to burning in the appliance or just CO? If it's just CO, then if your own sniffer goes haywire, you may still be in trouble. I know my sniffer went haywire and my wife couldn't smell anything for several weeks when we went through the moronic variant.

The gas company in Georgia will check for leaks anywhere in your home. They will even validate new installations. There is no charge for this service.

They detect the unburned gas.
