Are natural gas detectors important? Is anyone using them? Our new house will have the following natural gas appliances connected:
Furnace
Boiler
Hot Water Heater
3 Fireplaces
Wall Heater in Garage
Cooktop
In our previous house we bought a new gas range/oven, and it wasn't hooked up properly. Shortly after the installers left we could smell gas. We caught it quickly and shut it off, but if we had been away or sleeping it could have been much worse. I don't hear much talk about people using them and they seem to be relatively expensive. I'll be prewiring new construction, so now's the time to do it.
Thoughts? Opinions?
Thanks,
Shane
