This morning, my carbon monoxide detector went off......?




ens


I'm all freaked out now. Management of my apt building is going to check it out and I opened up the windows. If I open up the windows, does that eliminate carbon monoxide. Basically, how do you get rid of it? I won't be here during the day and will return this evening. Can I expect it to be gone since I have the windows open? The stove is off. The heat is controlled by the building and isn't on. My landlord was thinking that the alarm went off b/c the battery needs to be replaced (although he hasn't been inside my place yet to check it out). I don't know about that one. Thanks everyone for your help!!


Answer
Your boiler or something that uses gas might be leaking, it may be a tiny leak that you wont be able to find.

When you get in, put your house into its 'normal' state and see if it goes off again. If it does then call your building manager and they should get the required plumber etc. in to fix it.

If that is not their responsibility then you will need to get a plumber in to isolate the leak. It may have been a false alarm or that the batteries in the monoxide detector need changed.

Why is my carbon monoxide detector going off when i just installed it?

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.
