FREQUENTLY ASKED.
Everything you need to know before ordering.
The device is designed to monitor two different household hazards: carbon monoxide (CO) and combustible gases. Prepared Hero identifies natural gas, propane and methane among the combustible gases its gas sensor is designed to monitor.
Yes. According to Prepared Hero's specifications, the unit uses an electrochemical sensor for carbon monoxide and a separate semiconductor sensor for combustible gases such as natural gas, propane and methane.
The digital display is designed to provide real-time information about the monitored conditions, including the carbon monoxide reading and combustible gas level rather than showing only a simple status light.
No drilling, app setup or complicated wiring is required. The detector plugs into an appropriate wall outlet. Correct placement matters, however, so always follow the manufacturer's instructions supplied with the device.
This Prepared Hero model is designed to run directly from continuous wall power and does not require routine battery replacement. Importantly, that also means the detector will not operate during a power outage.
No. This model requires continuous wall power. If maintaining carbon monoxide monitoring during an outage is important for your home, use appropriate certified CO alarms with battery backup in accordance with local safety requirements.
No. Carbon monoxide and combustible gas detection are different from smoke and fire detection. Keep appropriate smoke alarms installed and maintained throughout your home according to local safety requirements.
Always follow the placement instructions supplied with the detector. Placement is especially important with combustible gases because different gases behave differently in air. Do not simply choose an outlet based only on convenience.
Treat an alarm seriously. Follow the emergency instructions supplied with the detector. If you suspect carbon monoxide or a combustible gas leak, move to fresh air or a safe location and contact emergency services or your gas utility as appropriate. Do not ignore or simply silence an unexplained alarm.
Follow applicable local codes and safety guidance. U.S. safety guidance recommends appropriate CO alarms on every level of the home and outside sleeping areas, with battery-powered or battery-backup operation recommended so protection continues if electrical power fails.
Certification documentation for this specific model should be verified before purchase if UL, ETL or another recognized listing is required by your local code or purchasing requirements. Do not assume certification based solely on the product category.
Yes. Follow the manufacturer's recommended testing schedule and replacement instructions. A detector should never be installed and then forgotten indefinitely.
