carbon monoxide alarm 911 image
Sasha
Who should I call?
Should I open windows?
Should I evacuate immediately?
Whats the first thing I should do if the alarm sounds?
Answer
Carbon Monoxide gas is colorless, tasteless and odorless.
First thing: Get Out the house!
2. Leave the door open to ventilate the house.
3. Wait an 1 hour then open windows for cross ventilation and step out.
All this assuming nothing is on fire. Carbon Monoxide is a product of something Burning, even your car's exhaust will trigger the alarm if there is enough concentration of these gas.
Off course if there is smoke, there is fire and something is burning. Call 911.

Kidde Carbon Monoxide Plug-In beeped every 10 seconds until we re-plugged in it. Should we be worried?

My sister's boyfriend didn't bother to look at the alarm before he unplugged it, but when he plugged it back in it stopped beeping and the light is green next to "operator". It hasn't gone off again since.
I feel a little lightheaded right now, and I'm not sure if it's because I'm worried or if something is actually wrong.
I feel like if it was something it would've gone off again already?
I'm freaking out and I don't want my sister blowing money unless it could actually be something.
Answer
You have a 9 volt battery backup in the detector. The manual says that if the battery is low it will beep every 15 seconds. If you had a problem with carbon monoxide you would hear a pattern of 4 quick loud beeps followed by 5 seconds of silent. The cycle will continue as long as a dangerous CO condition exist . So, unplug it from the receptacle and change the 9 volt battery. Be sure to use a new battery, not one on sale. BTW: Mild exposure symptom would be headache,nausea and vomiting.Medium exposure bad headache, confusion and drowsiness.Extreme exposure unconsciousness.If you still are worried, then get out of the house and call 911.
