Today I investigated the LP gas leak detector that was not working. Ha! It was a simple fix. All I had to do was plug the power wires back in. It is pretty sensitive too. I grabbed a small propane torch I use for lighting the wood furnace and turned it on without lighting it and held it in front of the detector. It didn’t take but a couple seconds and the alarm was going off. It took quite awhile for the gas to clear enough for the detector to clear. I suppose that’s a good thing.

Now, the question is this: was it unplugged for a reason? It would drain the batteries over time if left unattended and not connected to power. Maybe someone unplugged it for that reason. Me? I want to know before the thing explodes.
