carbon monoxide alarm 1 beep image
Mcrforever
My smoke alarms have been beeping like they need a new battery all morning, but now they are going off nonstop and i'm not sure what to do. My mom is at work and i wont be able to reach her for 2 1/2 hours. none of my neighbors are home, and i don't know what to do. i took the batteries out of them, but they run on electricity as well. Please help. thanks
i walked around and felt all the walls so there is no electrical fire. there is not open fire, or kitchen fire, My house is not on fire, and the co2 detectors are not going off so its not carbon monoxide.

Look for smoke. If you see none, open a window in case there is a carbon monoxide buildup. Put new batteries in them. Mine beeps when the battery is low, but it does not keep on. Mine is battery dependent. By now if you haven't seen anything out of the ordinary, it's likely low batteries.

Is my family going to die?

Today, when I came home from school, it smelled a lot like gas. I went into the kitchen and found out the smell was coming from there. I looked at the stove. I have on of the stoves where you turn the nozzle and then the fire comes up and its numbered 1-8 for the level of fire to cook. I heard a little continuous beeping noise and noticed that the nozzle was just above 1 (on ), so I turned it off and the noise stopped but now it still smells bad. In the past we had carbon monoxide problems with our stove TWICE and had to be evacuated. We also have a carbon monoxide alarm, so when it goes off, we know but its not doing anything. I've been in the house for about 10 minutes now and I just got a minor headache. Should I be worried? I don't want to go to sleep and have neither me or my family wake up again.

The entire stove needs to be replaced and the battery for the Carbon monoxide detector as well, if you rent tell the landlord and notate it, call the fire department-it will be on their records...If everyone's passed out in the house open the windows and get a neighbor to help you drag them out, if everyone can get out...then get out and don't mess with the windows, let the professionals with air pacs (SCBA's) do the work when they get their on the truck...Nothing is risking your life over. The headache is the first sign of oxygen deprivation and CO poisoning.
