Why dose my carbon monoxide detector goes off when there are no CO2 levels present?




Native New


For some reason the CO2 alarm keeps going off. I know the stove tops are off, and the 9V battery that powers it, have not gone down to levels that will make the CO2 alarm "chirp" once a minute.

But for the last 2 weeks my CO2 alarm keep going off at all hours of the day or night. Even when I'm not home.

Can someone PLEASE HELP!!!

Thank You in advance.
I checked the date on it, it with was manufactured in December 2004.
The batteries are brand new. They were changed last month.



Answer
Most carbon monoxide detectors use a chemical reaction to measure levels. When they get old they can malfunction. Check the manufacture date on yours and see if it needs replaced. For more info, check out the furnace page at my source. It will give you more info about co sources and what to do.

I lost my owners manual on one of our trips and am worried about carbon monoxide in our RV. I do have a detector but still want to know how to turn it on an off... any help?


Answer
Carbon monoxide is created when gas is burned. If you turn the gas off that goes to your oven/stove and also turn the gas off the goes to your heater then you will be fine.
