carbon monoxide detector three beeps image
Kristen Le
About 3 hours ago while my mom was cooking our Carbon Monoxide Detector began to beep. We hurriedly opened the doors and got out of our apartment and went into the hallway and called 911. They came within in 2 minutes, literally. As my mom and I waited outside, they opened every window in our house and unplugged our oven and all of our gas usage. They asked us for our syptoms and me and my mom were getting tired, but that quickly went away and she was dizzy but it's gone now because she just needed to eat. The fire department told us our carbon monoxide levels went down already, but since I suffer from anxiety attacks we didn't go in. It's been three hours and now we're back in the apartment.
Are we safe? I'm still having shortness of breath because of my anxiety. Are we safe?
It's 9pm in NYC.
Answer
Yes, you should be fine. If you begin to feel tired while you're inside your home, than get out and call someone.

Brand New Carbon Monoxide alarm beeping randomly?
Jeanbean06
I just had my heater fixed and the guy gave me a free CO detector, but about three days later it started beeping randomly. i thought it was signaling carbon monoxide so i got out of the house and let it air out but the alarm stopped pretty quickly anyway. But two days after that i had an actual carbon monoxide problem from a car, and the beep it does for that is different. When it goes off randomly (which it does almost every day) it beeps once, waits about thirty seconds, then beeps again. I can press the reset button and after a little fiddling it will stop. I dont know why it would be doing that if it is brand new and just installed.

Could be one of a few different problems, depending of what kind of CO Detector you received. Some detectors just plug into a standard electrical outlet (with a battery back-up). Another kind is just battery operated. The third kind would be hooked up to a household alarm system (I doubt this is the case since you received the detector from a furnace repair company). I would first replace the battery (usually it is a 9 volt style). If that does not fix the problem, call the company that gave you the detector, advise them that the unit appears to be faulty, and ask them to replace it (at their cost for giving you a faulty item).
