carbon monoxide alarm 3 beeps image
So i live in an apartment and our carbon monxide alarm went off. It was loud beep 3 times every few seconds. i freaked out and opened all the windows and press the reset button. So far, my dad and I feel fine, we dont feel dizzy or anything. but im worried, should I call 911 if it starts beeping again?
I think i know where the carbon monoxide is coming from. but im not sure. I have this old air purifier that blows air. and I use it as a fan. whenever i turn it on, it has the word "Carbon" light up. and i dont know what that means. and the air coming from it always smelled funny. could this be what caused the alarm to go off? i stopped using it right away. im just worried now if we're gonna get poisoning
Answer
You can only get CO from something that's burning, so unless your air purifier burns something, it's not the source. Call the fire department and have them come over and check things out if it happens again. There may be a leak in your heating system, or some car exhaust may be getting into your apartment, or something like that.

is there carbon monoxide in my house?

I recently tested my dual "kiddie" carbon monoxide / smoke alarm and after the test I got 3 more beeps informing me of carbon monoxide 3 seconds after the fire and CO test beeps. So I tested it again and I got the same 3 carbon monoxide beeps 3 seconds after the test and then nothing but the green "hush" mode light.. I wanted to know if this means there is carbon monoxide in my house? This only occurs when I hold the dual alarm in the air around my indoor gas air heater/cooler thing-when it's running.- Should I be worried because I never get carbon monoxide warnings otherwise. Why am I getting three additional beeps and a warning for carbon monoxide after the initial test beeps....
Answer
Carbon monoxide is heavier than air,and will normally be raised by the heat of an appliance and then fall,which would set off any detector.If the alarm is not activating on its own,then there shouldn't be a problem.
