Questions about carbon monoxide alarm?
Every since I first got the alarm, it has always stayed a steady red when plugged in. Well this morning it was chirping at intervals of 30 secs. ( thought battery needed replacing) so I replaced the batteries and the chirping has subsided but there is still the steady red light that’s been on there since day one. The brand of the detector is first alert. So is everything fine now?
Additional Details
The power light is red on the alarm, I just replaced batteries and tested it, it was definitely the batteries, the other alarm is very loud comparably
Kidde Carbon Monoxide detector at constant beep. Emergency?
My family’s Kidde carbon monoxide detector went off with a really long, loud, and constant beep this afternoon.
My dad thought the battery needs changing so he just changed one battery.
At 8pm this evening the detector went off again with the same sound when no one was home and the super (we live in an apartment complex) just took out the batteries and put them back in.
I just came home and found out that the alarm went off and I’m very concerned.
I just changed ALL the batteries now.
Its there Carbon Monoxide in the air? Is this an emergency?
I called the non-emergency fire dept # and they didnt answer so I left a message.
Now I’m debating whether or not I should call 911.

Smoke alarm won't stop beeping?
We just recently installed a new light fixture in our house, and we had to turn off a breaker to do it… unfortunately, it was the same breaker as the smoke alarms, and now they’re all going haywire. I have two Kidde KN-COSM-IB combo smoke/carbon monoxide detectors that are three years old. At first they were just beeping every minute or so, so I tried to reset them by turning the power back off and taking out the batteries for a few minutes, but now they’re beeping and saying "low battery." So I replaced all the batteries. Still beeping every 20 seconds telling me the batteries are low. Any idea how to get this to stop? Otherwise I’m going to disconnect them and remove the batteries so my ears stop ringing!
Sorry, I wasn’t clear… they kept beeping the entire time the breaker was off, but even now that I’ve reconnected it it’s happening. I’ve changed the batteries twice with no luck…
We actually went to the store and got a new set of batteries, and after we installed those and reset the breaker, it’s been quiet. I guess I was just unlucky with two sets of bad batteries! Regardless, I’m just glad that it’s stopped… the light fixture is working without any problems and the smoke/carbon monoxide detectors are testing normal. Thanks everyone for your help!
