The explosive gas part of this detector has given us several false alarms (very disturbing in the middle of the night).We just had the gas company come and make sure we don't have a gas leak and the gas man said he sees false positives on these combo units all the time.He recommends a CO only detector.Gas has an odor so unless you have no sense of smell, you can tell if you have a leak.We threw out our $60 Nighthawk and will buy a CO only detector now.

Product Description:
Protect yourself, your family, and friends from carbon monoxide poisoning plus propane and natural gas leaks with this combination detector/alarm. The alarm plugs into standard household electrical outlets and is equipped with a 9-volt battery back up for continued protection during power outages. A Peak Level Button lets you see the peak CO level recorded by the alarm since it was last reset or unplugged. A continuous digital display shows carbon monoxide levels, and a metal oxide sensor detects natural gas (methane) or propane with the display showing whether an is present.--Brian D. Olson
