carbon monoxide detectors for the deaf image
lovestolau
I live in a very small, 5 room house. I have tried several smoke detectors over the years, and there seems to be no place I can put one that doesn't go off whenever I take a shower or cook. They are supposed to be placed a certain number of feet from heat sources such as kitchens or bathrooms, but there is no place in my house that is that far away. My kitchen is at one end of the house, and my bathroom a little past the middle. Even having the oven over a certain temperature (and yes, it is clean) makes it go off. I also have trouble with carbon monoxide detectors. Every time someone takes a shower, the gas alarm goes off. A family member wears a hearing aid, and the sound of the alarm is excruciating and makes the hearing aid buzz loudly. I presently do not have either installed because I can't spend my entire day turning them off. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Talk to someone from your local deaf association. They might be able to get you the alarms for the deaf..they work like a strobe light and yes they will wake you up..there is different placement for them, so this route might work for you and for the family member whose hearing aid is not compatible with the alarms..but..please..till then put the batteries back in..you can take the batteries out when cooking or put a fan on to dissipate the heat, but please do not go to sleep without the protection of an alarm for the safety of you and your loved ones.

If it's unplugged the device will still work and a cautionary beep is emitted to let you know your battery is dying.
Take the 9 volt out of the back and replace it. If that doesn't work maybe the censor in the actual device is defective.
As a cautionary step I would take it outside and attach an extension cord to it. If it's detecting extreme levels of carbon monoxide outside, you'll know it's faulty and should just replace the entire unit.
