Reliable gas detection for residential safety
In a home, a natural gas leak can pose a major risk to occupants.
VIGAS was designed to address this challenge with a simple, reliable, and long-lasting solution: continuously monitor, alert immediately, and support property managers in tracking their equipment.
With its advanced sensor, long-life battery, and powerful audible alarm, VIGAS helps enhance home safety without complicating installation or increasing maintenance requirements.
A solution suited for single-family homes, multi-family housing, managed residences, and property portfolios equipped with natural gas.
Natural Gas Leaks: Detect the danger before it escalates
Natural gas is a safe and efficient energy source, but a leak can quickly become a serious hazard. For example, in New York City, natural gas is made up of over 95% methane, making reliable methane detection essential for residential safety. Because methane is highly flammable, it can accumulate indoors and create an explosive atmosphere.
The VIGAS Natural Gas Detector provides early warning of methane leaks, allowing occupants to take action before gas concentrations reach dangerous levels. Early detection helps protect people, property, and buildings from the potentially devastating consequences of gas-related incidents.
Detect danger before it escalates
VIGAS identifies methane leaks early, helping prevent dangerous gas accumulation inside the home
Reduce explosion hazards
Early gas detection helps occupants act before methane concentrations reach explosive levels
Protect what matters most
Designed to safeguard families, homes and property from the consequences of natural gas leaks
Always on, always watching
Continuous methane monitoring delivers peace of mind day and night
Reliable natural gas detection
Natural gas is primarily composed of methane. Invisible, it can accumulate in the event of a leak and create a dangerous situation if no alert is triggered in time.
VIGAS provides continuous methane monitoring in residential indoor environments. When methane reaches the alarm threshold, the detector triggers a clear alarm so occupants can respond quickly.

VIGAS is designed to monitor natural gas in homes
Advanced sensor
MEMS semiconductor technology provides stable detection of natural gas (methane)
Early warning at 10% LEL
VIGAS detects methane and activates an audible and visual alarm at 10% of the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL), providing early warning before an explosive atmosphere develops
Indoor use
The detector is designed for indoor residential environments
MEMS sensor designed for stable detection
VIGAS features a MEMS thermoelectric semiconductor sensor. This technology reliably detects the presence of natural gas and maintains continuous monitoring over time.
For occupants, this means active everyday safety. For property managers, it means a self-contained, long-lasting device that is easy to integrate into a risk prevention strategy.

Clear alarm for fast response
In the event of gas detection, VIGAS triggers a powerful 85 dB audible alarm at 10 feet. LED indicators also make it easy to quickly identify the detector’s status: normal operation, alert, fault, or maintenance information.
This audible and visual combination provides a clear alert for occupants, even in a home environment where attention may be divided.

10 years of battery life, with no battery replacement required
VIGAS operates on a sealed lithium battery designed to last for the detector’s full service life. No battery replacement is required under normal operating conditions.
This design significantly simplifies maintenance, especially across housing portfolios. It reduces on-site interventions, limits the risk of missed battery replacements, and helps maintain a consistent level of protection over time.
