Like where does it leak from and to. Does the carbon monoxide leak into the venting and like go all around the houes or is it a part of the furnace that leaks it. Cause my dad said he had a detector in the room or something and im a bit confused and concerned.
Answer
Typically, you will get a Carbon Monoxide leak through a crack in the heat exchanger (a blocked flue or chimney may also cause a CO leak.
If your heat exchanger in your furnace is cracked, the gas byproducts that should be venting out of your chimney, "may" leak throught the crack and into the stream of air being sent throughout the house. A Carbon Monoxide detector only alarms at certain levels and placement of the unit is key too. Depending on the size of the crack and many other factors. I recommend have it checked out by a reputable hvac contractor in your area. Better safe than sorry.

How do I install a hardwired smoke/carbon monoxide detector in my home?

At times, the present detector's alarm sounds for no reason and must be replaced. I'd like to do it myself and avoid the expenses of a professional. I know how to shut off the electricity at the site and have all necessary tools.

Call an electrician if you mess up the detector will not work this could be very dangerous. It isn't like wiring a light if you mess up a light it just wont work you mess up this and the smoke will fail to sound during a fire.
If you don't know how to do it how do you know you have the tools you need.
********"Hi i am glad to me you" has no clue what he is taking bout there in no positive or negative wiring in a house. Electrical tape is almost never to be used for a permanent connection it will dry out with age and loose it adhesive leave the wire exposed to arcing and become a fire hazard. In the rare case tape is use for a permanent connection(burndies for very large wires in industrial setting) it is a special fat rubber tape that you will not find at home depot a roll is about $10 and an entire roll is used for just one connection making a ball of tape about the size of a baseball
Many code rules in play here smoke placement using 14-3 not 14-2 all smokes must be on an arc fault breaker
this is NOT a do it yourself type project
