Customer Reviews For The First Alert Explosive Gas and Carbon Monoxide Alarm - GCO1CN
Arrived on time. Same as pictured and easy to install. I use the included wall plug instead of the batteries. I tested it at my gas range and alarm sounds. I would recommend this alarm to others.
The detectors are easy to install. They are great for peace of mind.
Set up took just a few minutes and it tested perfectly.
Works great!
first alert shipped quickly, the explosive gas alarm has a backup battery and plugs into the wall. it shows it is working and the test button performed as it should.
This was a replacement unit for a similar original installation. These units have a 5 yr life expectancy and my original was at its 5 year anniversary. I had no maintenance problems during its life just battery replacements. Fortunately it was never called upon to alarm. Easy and convenient to install. With gas fired HVAC and gas cook stove I felt the need to add this protection.
Great product,great price,very quick shipping! 100% satisfied
Perfect, fast shipping. I would recommend
Excellent alarm for propane use. We have never had a problem with it.
this product is really and all of our customer loved this detector.
We purchased several CO alarms with the explosive gas detector a while back, model GC01CN. Nice because it has a variety of mounting options, and battery backup. The other afternoon, one of the alarms went off....thought it was probably a low battery warning. Battery checked fine, but over a 70 rating on the CO alarm!!! Yes, we evacuated immediately Checked the gas stove, it was off, and I thought there was a low likelihood that the furnace was the source as it was less than 6 month old, and we have an electric hot water heater.... Well guess what, it WAS the new furnace!!! There was a malfunction in a gas valve...I was assured that it was covered under warranty not comforting, but what was comforting was the performance of our First Alert GC01CN alarm. Thank you very much.
bought as replacement of expired alarm. just plugged in one of the three purchased, and it worked. that does not always happen. have three working alarms of this model and have always been pleased with them before.
I needed this in a room which has gas and potential carbon monoxide. This is my second such First Alert alarm. Hopefully, Ill never find out how well it works, but the first one held up fine until it reached its END as indicated on the screen.
This First Alert Alarm is recommended by Consumer Reports--and I trust them!
According to Consumer Reports, this is the best detector available!
I am very happy with my purchase. The unit is a good complement to the smoke alarms in the house, giving me peace of mind that I will be alerted if there is a presence of explosive gas or carbon monoxide in my home.
Our alarms are good and we made a great purchase
i so appreciate that this Alarm monitors CO as well as explosive gases. the last thing that you want is a gas leak that you do not know about!
great product glad they make for more dangerous gases
Just recently installed the First Alert Combo alarm. So far, it seems to be working fine. It is summer, so there is little to no gas to detect at this point, though.
Here are a few situations that may cause a carbon monoxide alarm "false alarm:"
- The carbon monoxide alarm needs to be relocated. Carbon monoxide alarms should be located 15-20 feet away from all fossil fuel burning sources like furnaces and stoves. Alarms should be located 10 feet away from sources of humidity like showers.
- Fossil fuel burning appliances may not be burning fuel completely. Check pilot lights/flames for blue color. Appearance of yellow or orange flames indicates incomplete combustion-a source of carbon monoxide.
