Vehicle Exhaust Is an Invisible Hazard in Enclosed Garages

Carbon monoxide is odourless and colourless — by the time someone feels symptoms, levels are already dangerous. Diesel exhaust adds nitrogen dioxide, which attacks the respiratory system at low concentrations. In Fort McMurray's winters, vehicles idle longer and garage doors stay closed, pushing concentrations higher.

A properly designed gas detection system monitors air quality continuously, alarms before levels become hazardous, and automatically brings exhaust fans online — protecting workers, residents, and your liability as a building owner or employer.

Gas Detection for Every Type of Garage

From condo parkades to heavy-duty fleet shops, we size and install systems for your exact space and vehicle mix.

Underground Parkades & Condos

Multi-level residential and commercial parkades need continuous CO and NO2 monitoring with demand-controlled ventilation to protect residents and control fan energy costs.

Auto Repair Shops & Dealerships

Vehicle exhaust in service bays contains carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. A fixed gas detection system protects your technicians and keeps your shop compliant.

Fleet & Maintenance Garages

Bus barns, trucking shops, municipal fleet garages and fire halls where diesel and gas vehicles idle indoors for extended periods.

Complete CO & NO2 Detection Systems

CO (carbon monoxide) sensors for gasoline vehicle exhaust
NO2 (nitrogen dioxide) sensors for diesel exhaust
Central gas detection control panel with alarm relays
Exhaust fan & make-up air interlock (demand-controlled ventilation)
High-level audible/visual alarm notification
Annual calibration and sensor replacement program

Demand-Controlled Ventilation Built In

We interlock your gas detection panel with exhaust fans and make-up air units, so ventilation runs only when CO or NO2 levels rise. You get code-compliant air quality without paying to heat and move air around the clock — a major saving in northern Alberta's climate.

RMWB permits & Alberta Electrical Code

Gas detection installations in commercial garages tie into your ventilation and electrical systems. We handle the electrical permit, fan interlock wiring, and commissioning per provincial safety regulations, and coordinate with your mechanical contractor where required.

All work is performed by Alberta-licensed electricians and inspected per the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) as adopted by the Province of Alberta and enforced locally by the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo.

Fort McMurray FAQs

Why do I need NO2 sensors if I already have CO sensors?

CO sensors detect gasoline-engine exhaust, but diesel engines produce mostly nitrogen dioxide (NO2) — a toxic gas CO sensors don't see. Shops and garages with diesel vehicles need both sensor types for complete protection.

Are gas detection systems required in parkades?

Enclosed vehicle garages must control exhaust air quality under provincial safety regulations, and most designs use CO/NO2 monitoring to trigger ventilation. We install systems that meet current requirements under the Alberta Safety Codes Act.

How does demand-controlled ventilation save money?

Instead of running exhaust fans 24/7, the gas detection system only ramps fans up when CO or NO2 levels rise, cutting fan energy and heating costs dramatically in large parkades.
