Every winter the same sad news comes back: a gas line leak, a leaking LPG cylinder, a room filled with gas overnight, and then a spark from a light switch or a matchstick. In the cold months we keep windows shut, run heaters and sometimes leave burners on for warmth, so a small leak has nowhere to go.
A smoke alarm or gas leak detector costs less than a dinner out, yet it can wake your family in time. It does not stop a leak or a fire, but it gives you the early warning that turns a disaster into a scare.
We checked what is actually in stock at Bangladeshi shops this month and picked six detectors: smoke alarms, gas leak alarms for LPG cylinders and line gas, a smoke plus carbon monoxide (CO) combo, and WiFi models that send an alert to your phone. Below you will also find simple advice on which type you need and exactly where to put it.
