My carbon monoxide detector is going off. It beeps every 30 seconds and says Err. How do I fix it!?!?and if I get a stupid answer you will be reported.
Answer
Carbon monoxide detectors are touchy. First you need to eliminate the possibility that CO caused it, then check the battery.
They have a very sensitive collector that accumulates CO until it sounds an alarm. Certain indoor pollutants can cause it to go off, like hair spray or air fresheners. It has been my experience that once they malfunction they need to be replaced unless it is simply a battery issue.

Do I need to worry about Carbon Monoxide?
.
I have a very old gas stove/oven and baked a frozen pizza in it tonight. I thought I had turned it off, but accidentally turned it the wrong way, so the oven was empty on broil for about 30 minutes. I could smell gas so I went to check and turned it off. We are able to go to bed with a window cracked, do you think we need to worry about Carbon Monoxide from the gas oven? I've never smelled it quite so strong as I did before I turned it off...
Answer
First of all, carbon monoxide detectors are not that expensive and they can and do save lives! Second, you can not smell carbon monoxide. That is why it is so deadly. People don't know they are being poisoned by it. Third, the more fuel burning appliances you have the greater the risk of one of them malfunctioning and killing you and your whole family with something that an investment of $30-$50 could have prevented. What you smelled may have been another dangerous problem, but it wasn't carbon monoxide.
