We have two in our house, one in the basement near the furnace and hot water tank and another up in the hallway. I agree on how important these things really are they really do save lives.Sam Monacohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13265336321113623191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4454151844730611439.post-1363311203898203852019-10-26T14:18:01.828-04:002019-10-26T14:18:01.828-04:00I needed a Carbon Monoxide Detector, because I mig...I needed a Carbon Monoxide Detector, because I might have died without one. Fortunately, the seller had to place one in the house upon its resale to me. After having my roof replaced, I closed the doors late that night as I had them open for ventilation through the screens, and about four hours later, I was hearing the alarm loudly saying, “Carbon monoxide.” Yes, this alarm talks. I tried resetting it, and it still kept talking. I began opening the doors and windows and tried to figure out who to call. I called the Fire Department, and they asked me to please wait outside even though the alarm had now stopped yelling. Yes, it was loud. Their detector found carbon monoxide in my hallway but at a low level, because the house was now open. My furnace and hot water tank are both in closets in that hallway. When the roofers placed the cap back on the hot water tank, the new roof opening did not align with the flue on the hot water tank so they had jammed the cap on it hard enough to completely break the flue in half. The carbon monoxide was coming from my hot water heater. The fire department had called the gas company who arrived shortly and flagged and turned off my hot water tank. <br /><br />Do not depend on a ceiling smoke detector which also claims to be a carbon monoxide detector. Carbon monoxide is heavier than air and sits close to the floor even though with time it might make the ceiling alarm alert you. Having said that, the next time I had to replace the battery in the ceiling alarm, when I put the new battery in, it said, “Carbon monoxide previously detected.” Yes, it talks, also. What good did that do me? It never triggered an alarm the night I need it, and it is in the same hallway as the carbon monoxide detector. <br /><br />I cannot stress having one of these enough! My next door neighbor had had his roof replaced about three weeks before I did, and had this happened in his house, he did not have a carbon monoxide detector and might not be here today. He now has two. One in his furnace/hot water tank area, and one near the gas fireplace.<br />Fun, Factual, Weird, and Breathtakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16264785911211388147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4454151844730611439.post-87864628499195947832018-11-15T11:45:03.471-05:002018-11-15T11:45:03.471-05:00Very informative blog Sam.

The battery obviously got low and the unit beeped at me. I had not heard it before so 'assumed' it was the smoke alarm 'low battery' reminder. Nope, turned out to the the carbon monoxide detector. Now I know what it sounds like, so it's good that you tested yours with your family so everyone now knows and will recognize it if ever goes off.
