well earlier this evening there was a mini fire in my cooking pan. i guess it was a grease fire and yeahh.. well my brother took the pan away and put it out. about 3 or 4 hours later i found the corbon monoxide detector and i set it up and it started beeping and wouldint stop. Is it doing this because i just installed or i have carbon monoxide in my house...

Answer
You may have carbon monoxide in your home. You can call the fire department and they will come out with a detector to measure the level. This same thing happened to my mother a few years ago when she bought and installed a carbon monoxide detector. She called the fire department and they determined that the gas stove was leaking gas.

I have a logic 4 alarm.in my house its never been switched on but all night its been letting out beeps ?

I dnt no how to stop it


Answer
Battery or batteries must have been getting old even with it not switched on. I betcha it would stop beeping if you replaced the battery or batteries. If you care about your sleep, replace the batteries. Otherwise, it's going to wake you up.

I have both smoke detector & carbon monoxide detector that came with the rental house. Had to replace batteries in one in the middle of the night. The other started beeping off & on a few months later. Tester showed batteries were okay, but still it kept beeping off & on. Slept with windows open & was quite fearful due to warnings all over detector that I should leave house & so on. Finally, figured out how to open it & went ahead & replaced batteries. It's fine now with no more beeping. That gives me the general rule of thumb. If it beeps & there's no fire, replace batteries. If it's a carbon monoxide detector, you can leave the house & call the fire dept. to check it out like the box says, or you can gamble on it & open the windows & run the ceiling fans in the dead of winter in case it's really carbon monoxide. If no more beeps, forget it. It's fine.
