carbon monoxide detectors how long do they last image
alpster111
Here's the deal, my management company ( I live in an apartment in downtown Boston), installed a carbon monoxide alarm this past fall and since then it's randomly gone off 5 times - a month apart, each time. They claim that it's impossible for carbon monoxide to be there since the whole system isn't going off...but I mean, 5 times in 6months??? Each time I've called them and had to have someone come shut it off, take it down, and promise me they'll install a new one...and then the same thing happens. Anyone know how I can test to see if there really is carbon monoxide in my apartment? Anyone I can call? eg. fire dept This is just getting ridiculous....
Answer
They're blowing you off, so it's apparent that you need to get proactive.
Purchase a CO detector with an LED readout. Place it in the area of your existing detector (Get the type that plugs into a wall outlet) and see what happens.
CO detectors do have limited lifetimes because the sensors last only so long - you'll probably find this info on the box or, more likely, in the instructions within the box.
It is also important to realize that pollution, contaminants, paint vapors, and solvent vapors can destroy the effectiveness of a CO detector. It is wise to remove it when painting, stripping paint, spraying for insects, etc.
Good luck to you.

Should i be worried about carbon monoxide in my house?
What's up
for the last couple of days, my heater fan blower thing outside has been making loud sceeching noises.
this morining, the fan doesnt work at all. cool air was coming out of the vents.
is it possible for carbon monoxide to come into your house because of this.
do we got to keep the indows open all day long if there is any in the house?
Answer
No heat = no combustion = no carbon monoxide.
Close your windows, stay warm, and get it fixed.
And a detector is a good investment.
