When choosing areas to install your Carbon Monoxide detectors, you’ll want to avoid putting them in areas with excessive obstructions, like under a curtain, for example.

If your CO detector chirps constantly without a clear reason, fails to sound during a test, or does not power on even with fresh batteries, it may be malfunctioning and should be replaced promptly.

If your smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors are located in areas with exterior doors, like entryways, the change in temperature when the door is opened could trigger the detector to go into alarm. This is due to water vapor in the detection chamber that turns into condensation in lower temperatures. If this is a frequent occurrence during Eastern Shore/Mobile, AL winters, be sure to contact (251) 210-7488 to ensure your smoke and CO detectors are functioning as intended.
