Anyone know anything bout Carbon Monoxide Detectors?

Alicia

About 6 am this morning our carbon monoxide detector started beeping, my husband called me at work, (cuz he couldn't find the phone number), for the number to our apartment rental office, he called and it gave him an emergency number, he called and left a message. The emergency maintenance person called him back, and said to open all the doors and windows, and they would be down soon. this was at 6 am. I got off work at 11 am he came and got me, we took a co-worker home, and went home ourselves, it was still beeping. I had been home about 15 minutes when the maintenance man came and went to the furnace (which is locked with a deadbolt so we can't get into it) and ( i assume) took the old carbon monoxide detector out, and put a new one in, and locked the door back. I guess my question really is, if the battery was low, should it still have been beeping for 5 blessed hours? And does a carbon monoxide detector work the same as a smoke detector, when you open the doors and windows, should it stop beeping?

Answer
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors will beep if the battery gets weak.
After the a new battery is installed the beeping should stop.

Carbon monoxide build up can be caused by lack of or poor circulation in a room.

Carbon monoxide detector wierd noise?

Fox

It isn't going off. No loud beeping. It sounds like It is vibrating. It's not literally vibrating. Just that kind of noise. Is it running low on battery? I don't have any gas appliances running and all my windows are open. Can anybody help with this?

Answer
Either the battery is bad or if the detector is over 5 yrs old it either needs to be replaced or in some the sensor only can be replaced. Try the battery and if that doesn't work and there is no replaceable parts replace the whole detector.
