Its 12:25am and I ain't slept for shit in three fucking daya cause bof kids are sick and now dis shit. I get woken up by the high pierced screech of this gawd damned fing. I search all over the fucking house for the gawd damned 9 volt batter only to open the sumbitch up and find out it takes 3 AAA's. WAT IN THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT I AM FUCKING TIRED. I go through 3 fucking screw drivers to find one tiny enough to fit the hole yet big enough to fit the slots in the set screw and now I gotta go fru the hole fucking house and raid our TV remotes to find 3 fucking AAA's?!?!?! To top it all off I'm pretty sure I've just come down with whatever the hell the kids have. In the 10 min it's taken to figure this thing out I've come down with a headache and I'm a little lightheaded. To add insult to injury I've replaced the batteries and it's STILL fucking going of WTF!!!! I've fuckig had it, I'm going to

Why do you have a CO2 detector?

I can only assume he is monitoring the changes in greenhouse gases in his home.

Would have been funnier if you started typing gibberish for a few lines but good effort.

R.I.P dude... And dude's family.
The things need to be in a CO (monoxide) free environment to reset.

Go to Costco today and buy a new one that has a ten year battery in it. Provided, of course, that you ain’t dead from CO poisoning already.

I wish I would have read this thread earlier. I could have done a wellness check on the Duff household to see if everyone was alive.

Mine kept going off in the middle of the night so I got a new one even tho the old one was only 4 years old. I knew it wasn't detecting dangerous levels of CO because I also have an electric detector I use for redundancy. If only Duff had a backup detector he would still be with us today. |

Lol Duff I had similar situation about 4 years ago and about 2am it went off. I reset it and it kept going off. It was about -5 so I grabbed the dog and went out to the truck and called the gas company. He showed up about 2 hours later and did a inspection and said CO2 is all good, these things go bad all the time.

Back when we lived in Chicagoland, the CO detector went off at like 3:00 am. A freak wind had caused a downdraft in the furnace flue. The bedrooms and the CO monitor were on the second floor. I was able to shut the furnace off and safely air out the house. The very scary part was this was the week after thanksgiving. If this had happened the week before, all the grandchildren from my wifes side of the family had been sleeping in the basement. They all would have died, effectively wiping out the future of her family. I doubt the next thanksgiving would have been very festive. The moral of this story is make sure you have a CO detector installed near your furnace, not just near your bedrooms.

Better consult your HOA to see wut size and color co detector you are allowed to have. |

If your heat source is in the attic, yew might be a redneck |
