hello,
I have a question, I want to have a detector in the boiler room, we have a gas heating system in the basement with underfloor heating
but I don't know exactly which one, do I need a CO detector for carbon monoxide or a gas detector
on Google it says there are different ones:
"Gas detectors are only necessary in houses or apartments with gas heating, gas boilers, or gas ovens, or in workshops and hobby cellars where gas welding is done. For caravans with gas heating or stoves, there are gas detectors with 12-volt connection for the car battery. The detectors alarm when even the smallest amounts of gas leak into the air, giving you enough time to take countermeasures and thus prevent a gas explosion. If you do not use gas in your household, a gas detector is not necessary. Otherwise, you can get a good gas detector here starting at around 30 euros.
Carbon monoxide detectors are unfortunately often confused with gas detectors, but these are two different types of devices. Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that is produced during combustion processes with too little oxygen. This can occur with any type of combustion heating (for example gas, oil, wood, pellets, etc.), but also with fireplaces, boilers, or stoves. Basically everywhere combustion takes place. If you have such a source of danger in the house, then a carbon monoxide detector (also called a CO detector) should definitely be installed nearby! CO detectors are available starting at around 30 euros."
I don't even know which gas the heating system uses, since my landlord always took care of it and he passed away
