Here’s a more in-depth question: The fire alarm went off in my home the other day, but there were no signs of smoke, carbon monoxide, gas, or anything like that. It just went off. This resulted in the firemen, and a firetruck, along with a police car showing up at my home. Although there was nothing wrong, I know that this costs tax payers dollars. But, how much does it really cost for them to come out even when there’s nothing wrong? If it helps, I’m about a mile and a half away from the fire department, and probably 4 miles from the police department.
To the person that said there was something missing, this is a home security system. As soon as any alarm goes off, it goes straight to local law enforcement, i.e. if the house was burgled and the alarm went off it would go straight to the police department, and the people who run the security system would contact my phone and ask for the password and they’d call to make sure everything was ok. So any time the alarm goes off at all, it goes straight through to enforcement.

I just bought a carbon monoxide alarm. I live in a single wide mobile home that was made in the 70s. The stove and furnace are both gas. The stove is fairly new but the furnace is older. I figured I should get a carbon monoxide alarm because of the natural gas. How many people actually use them? Was it even necessary? Or did I just spend 25 bucks for nothing?

My family just got a carbon monoxide plug-in alarm and it is plugged into my wall in my room. I unplugged the alarm so I can plug in my hair dryer into the outlet. After 10 min of blowdrying my hair, the alarm went off while it was unplugged. The hair dryer was letting off some steam, which a lot of hair dryers do if it gets too hot. Do you think it was a fluke? Or was carbon monoxide really exposed?

I never heard of a Carbon monoxide alarm before until my sister came home with one yesterday. I was just wondering how it works? if Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless and whatever else how can you get it in a house what does it come from? I’m clueless about it. I spent most of science class in school asleep.

i know there are motion detectors, glass break sensors, door/window sensors and video. i know too that there are auto dial systems. heat and carbon monoxide sensors.

but i just want the simple door/window sensors & motion detectors with dial feature thank you!
i train dogs. i know the limitation of even trained K9 watchers:)

Everytime my mother cooks using the stove, the carbon monoxide detector goes off. It seems like every sunday when she cooks for a long period of time faithfully the detector goes off like an hour after the stove has been shut off. I take it down remove the battery and open the windows. about 20 minutes later i put it back up….no alarm goes off. the battery is new so that shouldnt be an issue. The only thing i am fearing is a possible gas leak. What should i do?

I used thermacare for my back pain. The instructions say to just open it and it will heat up in 30 min. For me it took longer, after about an hour I wore the thermacare wrap around my back. In 1 hours time I heard an alarm twice, may have been my smoke/CO alarm, but it stopped.
I checked their site and found that the wrap has charcoal, salt and some other natural items that slowly burn when exposed to oxygen.

Wondering if anyone knows if its possible to produce any carbon monoxide as part of its combustion?

We are all getting headaches and I didnt think of something in the home until my youngest one started complaining last week. We have several combo fire/carbon monoxide detectors in the house. I have replaced all batteries to be sure they are working properly. The alarm is not going off (other then when i put the batteries in and also when i test it) so i am assuming its not carbon monoxide. We live in a duplex and have one family attached to us. What else can I check and how? Thanks!

My house is small. Everything in it is electric. I’m wondering if it would still be useful or even necessary for me to purchase a carbon monoxide alarm?
