Answer: No Explanation: CO detectors only detect the bi-products of the gases emitted from your furnace or gas operated equipment and if you have an attached garage, the CO emitted from autos and gas powered equipment. Gas leaks can be detected early if you can identify the smell of rotten eggs due to the leak. |

Answer: No Explanation: Carbon monoxide and natural gas are two different things. Carbon monoxide is produced when a hydrocarbon fuel is not combusted completely. Natural gas is about 96% methane with a small amount of ethane mixed in. It is a colorless and odorless gas. An odorant is added to it to give a garlic like smell to it so you can detect leakage. |

Answer: No Explanation: Carbon monoxide detectors do not detect natural gas leaks, because natural gas isn’t carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is actually a byproduct of incomplete combustion of natural gas – the most common time for that to happen is when a gas appliance doesn’t function correctly. Carbon monoxide, according to the EPA, is an odorless, tasteless, colorless deadly gas. Natural gas, on the other hand, does have an odor, so you can smell it when there’s a leak. |
