(OP)
hi..
Last night i smell some gas in my home. I don't know why. I call to the company and they said that the leakage is minor and leakage is from the furnance. Now i have my detector and is working fine.

There are acceptable limits of gas tightness, but these need a manometer and a shutdown of the system to pressure up and measure.
One thing I have learned over many years is that leaks, especially gas, don't get better by themselves.
One house I lived in had gas pipes built in but we were not connected to the grid until some time after we moved in. Then when the boiler started / stopped you got a "whiff" at a certain place then it went away. Eventually we decided to dig up the concrete floor, found the pipe about 1/2" below the surface with a nail from the carpet gripper stuck in it....
in an enclosed space, gas can easy build to the magic concentration limit.
I would not mess with it - isolate the system, get it pressure checked, find the leak, fix the leak, sleep happy.

Use a tele-scent then, not a tele-phone

According to experiments carried by US Bureau of Mines, "a smoked (puffed) cigarette would only ignite methane air mixture if the latter were caused to flow across the glowing cigarette at 1000 ft per min. Attempts were made to ignite propane, petrol and butane with lighted cigarettes without success and similar results were obtained with white spirit".

So unless the troubleshooter comes with the top of his/her burning cigarette directly to the leak hole where gas flows at critical velocity, nothing serious should happen.

I fear the worst for the OP though!

My concern is that the OP can smell the gas but the detector remains silent for all this time. It should be checked when it was the last time it was serviced and calibrated. These things cannot hang there forever without maintenance.
