carbon monoxide detector 3 beeps image
Marissa
Every fire alarm has a carbon monoxide detector in our house, we also have 2 wall ones...the one in our basement (Fire alarm) is beeping 3-4 beebs every like 5 seconds, we put the 2 wall plug in ones down there and it doesn't detect anything..none of the other fire alarms down their are going off and neither are any others in the house..
What should we do? (My moms at work, i'm 16 and have no idea...I called my mom and she told me to try replacing the battery so i'm about to go buy one but still...any ideas?
If you look at it its the red light going off with CO and "move to fresh air" written next to it. My neighbor who is pretty good at this stuff is on his way over to help us out. Thanks!

I answered your question about the braces. Im 16 too! :D
And well, yeah wait till your neighbor comes over to help. I dont think there is any Carbon Monoxide in your house. It sounds like either the batteries are dead or it is a product malfunction. Sit tight and wait until your neighbor comes. He should be able to help out! If it keeps happening, replace the alarm completely. If it still goes off, there must be some carbon monoxide setting it off! But I doubt there is anything to worry about!

Carbon monoxide alarm going off?
Tic-Tac
During the day I always keep two windows open and usually the front door (I have house cats, they like to look/smell/head the outside). I'm a housewife, so I'm home pretty much 24/7 too.
Earlier this morning I was washing dishes when I kept hearing a beeping. The beeps were varied between 15 secs to 1min and sometimes came as just one or a group of about 3 beeps.
I looked for the source and found the (plug-in) kiddie carbon monoxide detector was the source of the noise. Since its a plug in, I know its not a battery issue, a small light saying to move to fresh air would flash on for maybe a second, then turn right back off.
Its never done this before and I'm a little bothered by it. Could it just have been a fluke? Maybe the alarm is old or something? (The alarm has been here since before we moved in)
It just seems weird that it would only flash on for a second. And the moment I moved the bookshelf (that's about 2ft from it) it just stopped altogether.
I was hand washing the dishes too...no appliances were on. We do have a gas oven/stove, but it hasn't been turned on since I made dinner last night.
Answer
If your detector has a battery, the battery may need to be changed. Our electric smoke detectors have backup batteries that need to be changed about every 18 months. It's also possible that the detector is old. You could also stop by your local fire station and ask the firefighters if they have any ideas. When we had a smoke detector that wouldn't stop beeping in the middle of the night (never during the day!), I asked our local firefighters and learned that smoke detectors only last for about 10 years. I don't know about carbon monoxide detectors.
