carbon monoxide detectors chirping image
Chloegirl
I just plugged in a first alert carbon monoxide detector down in basement. The horn will sound once or twice every 20 minutes or so and the red light will flash every so often also. Is this a malfunction or is there CO in my home?

A very load chirping noise.

There is an irregular, electronic chirp emanating from our kitchen ceiling. What could this possibly be?

We thought it was our carbon monoxide detectors, but we took the batteries out of all of them and no dice. It seems very clearly to come from inside of the ceiling.... but the problem is that it's not a drop ceiling and we have no access inside of the ceiling. More like a chirp than a beep, and it occurs every couple of minutes, though with no regularity.

If you removed the batteries, then for sure you're going to experience the "chirping" sound. There should be a little indicator light that, with a fully charged battery, should be green. You experiencing the "chirp" sound tells me that the light on your detector is going to be an orange or red color. This is your indication to replace the battery, which, nine times out of ten, is going to be a 9 volt battery. In most cases, the actual light in which I have just mentioned acts as a "Test" button as well...Some units have a test button off to the side. Anyway, upon depressing this particular button consecutively for at least 10 seconds, the alarm will go off, indicating that it's fully operational again...Note: the alarm will shut itself off automatically, however there should be a hush button to do it sooner... This "chirping" sound was designed to be irritating. Placed there deliberately by the manufacturer to identify when to change the battery...Believe it or not, this annoying chirp can and has saved many lives...Good Luck !!!
