Carbon Monoxide Detector Replacement FAQs
How to Know if Your CO Alarm Has Reached Its End of Life
Wondering if your carbon monoxide (CO) non-digital alarm has reached its end of life? Here's how you can tell:
When your CO alarm emits a quick beep every 30 seconds and the red LED flashes, it means the unit has reached the end of its 7 or 10-year lifespan. This is a clear signal that it's time to replace the alarm to ensure your home remains protected.
Battery Replacement Won't Help
It's important to note that replacing the batteries will not stop the chirping sound if the unit is at the end of its useful life. The chirping is an indication that the alarm itself needs to be replaced, not just the batteries.
Time to Replace Your Alarm
When your CO alarm has reached the end of its life, it's crucial to replace it with a new one to continue safeguarding your home. Keeping your CO alarm up-to-date ensures that you and your family are protected from potential carbon monoxide hazards.
