Find the Right Gas Leak Detector for Your Home
Different fuel sources require different types of gas detection. DeNova Detect offers specialized gas alarms to help homeowners monitor for natural gas and propane leaks. Selecting an alarm designed for your home's fuel source is an important part of maintaining household safety.
Natural Gas Alarms
Natural gas alarms are designed to detect methane, the primary component of natural gas commonly used for stoves, furnaces, water heaters, and other household appliances. Because natural gas is lighter than air, these alarms are typically installed near the ceiling according to the manufacturer's placement instructions.
Propane Gas Alarms
Propane gas alarms are designed to detect potentially dangerous leaks from appliances that use liquefied petroleum gas (LP gas). Since propane is heavier than air, it can accumulate near floor level. Propane detectors should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommended mounting height and location.

Gas Alarms Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a natural gas alarm and a propane gas alarm?
Natural gas alarms detect methane, while propane gas alarms detect propane (LP gas). Because these gases have different properties, the alarms have different recommended installation locations. Always select a detector specifically designed for the gas used in your home.
Do gas leak detectors need to be plugged in?
Not necessarily. DeNova Detect offers battery-powered gas alarms that operate without an electrical outlet. This allows for flexible placement in locations recommended by the manufacturer.
Can a natural gas alarm detect propane?
Not unless the alarm is specifically rated to detect propane. Natural gas and propane detectors are designed for different fuel gases and should not be considered interchangeable. Always check the product specifications before purchasing.
Do I need a carbon monoxide alarm if I have a gas alarm?
Yes. Gas leak alarms and carbon monoxide alarms serve different purposes. Natural gas and propane detectors identify leaks of their specified fuel gases, while carbon monoxide alarms detect dangerous levels of carbon monoxide produced by incomplete combustion. Combination alarms can provide both forms of protection when specifically designed and rated for both.
