carbon monoxide detector 9v image
Native New
For some reason the CO2 alarm keeps going off. I know the stove tops are off, and the 9V battery that powers it, have not gone down to levels that will make the CO2 alarm "chirp" once a minute.
But for the last 2 weeks my CO2 alarm keep going off at all hours of the day or night. Even when I'm not home.
Can someone PLEASE HELP!!!
Thank You in advance.
I checked the date on it, it with was manufactured in December 2004.
The batteries are brand new. They were changed last month.

Most carbon monoxide detectors use a chemical reaction to measure levels. When they get old they can malfunction. Check the manufacture date on yours and see if it needs replaced. For more info, check out the furnace page at my source. It will give you more info about co sources and what to do.

Why is my carbon monoxide detector chirping?

Started Monday night at around 4am. Not an 'alarm,' but just a chirp as though the batteries were low. I hit the reset button and it stopped immediately. Same thing happened Tuesday night. Hit reset, stopped doing it.
Yesterday it started chirping in the middle of the afternoon, so I installed a new 9v battery, thinking that it must be low. Apparently that wasn't the problem, though, because it started chirping again this morning.
Does anyone have any ideas?
*edit: I replaced the battery yesterday with a new one, assuming the battery was the problem and that it would fix it.

Hi John, Iâm Ken with The Home Depot and have had this question before. Since you have replaced the old battery with a new one and that is not problem, your unit is probably ready to be replaced.
Some manufactures say to replace your alarm every 5 to 7 years. This is to benefit from new technology.
So I would check the age of your alarm and if it is within this time frame I would consider getting a new one. Having a proper working carbon monoxide alarm is very important. Hope this helps.
