Installing a gas detector is an essential part of your home or office security in Tbilisi.

Importance of gas detector installation at commercial facilities
Our handymen services for companies in Tbilisi spread on commercial establishments, especially those that use gas for cooking, heating or other purposes, can significantly increase their safety by installing a gas detector. This device not only protects people’s lives, but also improves the functionality of the facility.
Why is a gas detector necessary in a commercial facility?
Ensuring security
A gas leak is a serious hazard, as it can cause an explosion or poisoning. The detector warns the owner of the space in time about the leak, which makes it possible to respond quickly.
Legal requirements
In Georgia, installation of a gas detector is mandatory at commercial facilities where gas is installed. Naturally, this issue is especially important for facilities that serve customers (restaurants, hotels, hospitals, etc.).
Insurance conditions
As a rule, the insurance company reduces the amount of the premium if a gas detector and other safety mechanisms are installed at the facility.
Automatic systems
Modern gas detectors automatically stop the gas supply when a leak is detected, which allows you to solve the problem with minimal damage.
Enhancing prestige and reputation
Installing a gas detector is a demonstration of concern for the security of the facility, which creates an image of reliability and responsibility.
Where should the detector be installed?
- Near the gas source.
- In the kitchen area, if the facility is a restaurant.
- with the heating boiler, if the system works on gas.
- In technical rooms where gas appliances are located.
Installing a gas detector in a commercial facility is not only a necessary safety measure, but also a serious investment that protects employees, customers and property. With timely installation, you will avoid serious problems and create a comfortable and safe working environment.
Statistics of accidents related to gas in Georgia
Natural gas safety is an important issue in Georgia. According to the data of the Georgian National Energy and Water Supply Regulatory Commission (GNERC), the statistics of accidents related to natural gas consumption in 2018-2020 are as follows:
2018: 134 cases, including 23 fatal cases.
2019: 399 cases, including 19 fatal cases.
2020: 144 cases, including 20 fatal cases.
It should be noted that the number of accidents in 2019 increased significantly compared to the previous year. However, the number of cases decreased in 2020, although the number of fatal outcomes remained almost unchanged.
Taking into account these data, it is necessary to comply with gas safety norms and to install appropriate equipment, including gas detectors, to prevent accidents and protect our lives and those of our loved ones / customers.
How often should a gas detector be checked?
Obviously, the more often the gas detector is checked, the better.
Monthly check
Turn on the test function (if available) or use a special gas test device to make sure that the detector responds to gas leaks.
Technical inspection once a year
Invite a specialist to check the general condition of the detector, the accuracy of the sensors and the electrical connections.
Battery replacement
If the detector is powered by batteries, they should be replaced every 6-12 months or as instructed.
Complete replacement of the detector
Gas detectors usually work for 5-7 years. After that, they need to be replaced, because the sensors lose their accuracy.
Is it possible to add an automatic shutter to an existing system?
Yes, it is possible to add an automatic shut-off to an existing gas detector system, but this depends on several factors:
Types of gas detector
Your detector must have ports or interfaces for connecting additional devices.
Gas pipe and exhaust system
It is necessary to install a special valve on the gas pipe, which closes automatically if a gas leak is detected.
Integration process
The valve must be connected to the detector signal, which requires the intervention of a professional electrician or technician.
Additional devices
If your detector does not support an automatic shut-off, it is possible to include an additional mechanism in the system that provides a signal transmission to the valve.
