[quote=Anonymous]I'm in my 40s and have always had gas, even when I was a little kid. I think 8 or 9 different houses? We've always had a CO detector in the basement. I've never had a gas detector. The rule has always been: CO down low, smoke alarms up high. CO shouldn't ever be a problem... if everything is working right. And generally speaking, everything works right nearly all the time. In 40+ years, I've never had a problem nor known anyone directly who has had a CO problem. But if something isn't working right, it'll kill everyone in the house before anyone knows anything is wrong. That sounds like a good reason to have a detector. Gas leaks ... I've always assumed we'll smell them before they become dangerous. I know I can smell the gas from my stove if it doesn't light right away. So I don't worry about a detector for that. The upside: if there's a power outage, turn on the gas at your stove and light a match. You can still cook![/quote]
