I just had my heater fixed and the guy gave me a free CO detector, but about three days later it started beeping randomly. i thought it was signaling carbon monoxide so i got out of the house and let it air out but the alarm stopped pretty quickly anyway. But two days after that i had an actual carbon monoxide problem from a car, and the beep it does for that is different. When it goes off randomly (which it does almost every day) it beeps once, waits about thirty seconds, then beeps again. I can press the reset button and after a little fiddling it will stop. I dont know why it would be doing that if it is brand new and just installed.

Could be one of a few different problems, depending of what kind of CO Detector you received. Some detectors just plug into a standard electrical outlet (with a battery back-up). Another kind is just battery operated. The third kind would be hooked up to a household alarm system (I doubt this is the case since you received the detector from a furnace repair company). I would first replace the battery (usually it is a 9 volt style). If that does not fix the problem, call the company that gave you the detector, advise them that the unit appears to be faulty, and ask them to replace it (at their cost for giving you a faulty item).

Smoke Detector Problem? Driving me nuts!!!?
Q. My smoke detector in my hallway has been going off for NO reason. No smoke, no nothing. I'm sure its a smoke detector and not a carbon monoxide detector. Three weeks ago it started to go off, and then it stopped. Today it went off with a single beep. A few minutes later, it emitted three beeps, then one. It just goes off at random times and is annoying the crap out of me. Can anyone tell me the problem?
Answer
If it is a hardwired unit, it may need a vacuuming. Smoke detector's don't last longer than I think it's 7 or 8 years. There is something in it that wears out. Sorry, it's been awhile. Take down the unit and take it to an electrical supply store and ask them for a compatible unit. Then reinstall. Actually, you should replace all the smoke detectors if they are the same age and hardwired.
