It was doing the weird beepy thing that on the back it says means theres a dangerous level of Carbon monoxide but my dad had just moved it to a spot right behind the christmas tree and said it was not working.. it seemed to be working fine to me, but i reset it and moved it to the dining room, and it hasnt gone off...should i be worried?
well now im kinda worried cuz my dad just rolled over back asleep and said to just take the batteries out or move it and im 5 months pregnant in my room with the window wide open .. and also my cat is acting weird? like wont leave my side and that usually never happens...iduno maybe im paranoid..

Sorry to say it but, your father is putting the family in jeopardy when he moved the alarm. It's there for a reason, carbon monoxide poisoning. Every year at this time when people start heating they have problems they have to address in heating and venting.
Your house furnace filter may need to be changed, the plenium may need more air (filter again) and need an extra exhaust in the form of another vent pipe. You could achieve this be cracking a window in the house for temporarily use until the filter can be changed. If all of you are getting over sleepy in the evening, waking up with headaches, groggy then there a dangerous situation being ignore and should be looked into, you could possibly all die of carbon monoxide fumes created by a deficient furnace.

Why does my carbon monoxide alarm keep going off?

Everytime my mother cooks using the stove, the carbon monoxide detector goes off. It seems like every sunday when she cooks for a long period of time faithfully the detector goes off like an hour after the stove has been shut off. I take it down remove the battery and open the windows. about 20 minutes later i put it back up....no alarm goes off. the battery is new so that shouldnt be an issue. The only thing i am fearing is a possible gas leak. What should i do?
Answer
It could be a couple of things.
How old is the detector? They have a sensor that only lasts so long and they should be replaced every 5 years.
If your mother is cooking with gas is there an exhaust fan that removes the air to the outside of the house? If not it could be caused by the recirculation of the combustion air back into the flames.
A good flame should also be a light blue, if it is a lazy yellow flame then there isn't enough primary air (air that is mixed with the gas before combustion) if that is the case then you should ask someone who knows how to adjust it and they should also check for soot which may be evidence of flame impingement.
Gas, like electricity, it is safe if done properly but can be very dangerous if done wrong and Carbon monoxide is very dangerous and any warnings should not be ignored.
