carbon monoxide detectors chirping image
Patrick D.
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 !!!

Vikcy
If my carbon monoxide dectector goes off how would I know if theres really something wrong or if the batteries just need to be changed?
Answer
The detector only detects gas The battery alarm is similar to a smoke detector low battery, alarm which is an intermediate chirp, when the it detects gas it goes off very loud, and continuous.
Carbon monoxide is odorless, Humans can't smell it and if you feel head rushy or light headed very good indicator of being poisoned. If you don't get out at that sign the next is passing out after your out
in the continued presence of the gas death will follow. You just won't wake back up.
So if it goes off You immediately open doors and windows and get out call 911 and state you have a carbon monoxide leak.
If you have gas appliances the risk is a lot higher for poisoning
hope it helps
