When to Have Academy Air Replace Your Carbon Monoxide Detector

The best way to determine whether it’s time to replace your carbon monoxide detector altogether or not is based on its beeping patterns. Your carbon monoxide detector will play different beeping patterns depending on its needs. It’s very important to know what each pattern signifies. Most carbon monoxide detection devices have a universal beeping pattern in an effort to help keep you and your family safe:

  • Four Beeps and a Pause: This means there is fresh carbon monoxide in the air in your home. Go outside to the fresh air, outside of your house immediately and call 911. Carbon monoxide can be deadly and it is extremely important that in the event your detector is beeping four times followed by a pause, that you get out to fresh air as quickly as possible.
  • One Beep Per Minute: This indicates the batteries in your carbon monoxide detector are low and will need to be replaced. It’s important to change the batteries in the event of this pattern as it is both a nuisance and it can mean your device may not be able to detect carbon monoxide correctly with low battery power.
  • Five Beeps Per Minute: In the event your carbon monoxide detector is beeping five times every minute, your alarm has reached the end of its lifespan and will need to be professionally removed and replaced by certified professionals at Academy Air. This pattern specifically means that your alarm is no longer able to detect carbon monoxide.

 

Main Sources of Carbon Monoxide Leaks in Your St. Louis, MO Home

Carbon monoxide can be produced by any fuel-burning or gas-using appliance in your St. Louis, MO home. That is why it is crucial to have a carbon monoxide detector professionally installed by technicians at Academy Air. The main sources of carbon monoxide leaks in Missouri homes are:

  • Your home furnace
  • The drying vent in your drying machine
  • Fireplaces and chimneys
  • Gas stoves
  • … and others

It’s recommended to install a carbon monoxide detector near all of these appliances in your Missouri home to help prevent a potential carbon disaster. It is always a good idea to have a carbon monoxide detector in as many rooms as possible, but it’s crucial that you keep them in rooms where gas-using and fuel-burning appliances are located.

What is the Difference Between a Smoke Detector and a Carbon Monoxide Detector?

The general difference between a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector is that smoke detectors are a fire protection device while the latter detects carbon monoxide only, which can arise from many things aside from just a fire. Additionally, smoke detectors are installed on ceilings or higher up on walls because both heat and smoke rise. Carbon monoxide detectors are typically installed lower to the ground as carbon monoxide is a heavy gas that tends to hang lower:

Smoke Detectors
There are two types of smoke detectors including ionization and photoelectric smoke detectors. Photoelectric sensors detect changes in lights passing through a chamber when smoke goes through it and subsequently triggers an alarm. Ionization sensors detect changes in the ionization of the air itself. Many St. Louis, MO homeowners actually prefer to have both types of smoke detectors installed around their home to ensure the utmost protection.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Carbon monoxide detectors are also crucial to have installed in your Missouri home as carbon monoxide can be produced from many things besides a fire. Any gas-using and fuel-burning appliances in your home can produce carbon monoxide, which can be lethal in copious amounts. Carbon monoxide is odorless and tasteless, so having a detector is imperative to keep your home safe and secure. In the event of a carbon monoxide leak, you will absolutely need to rely on your carbon monoxide alarm to detect it, as you will not be able to sense it yourself.

Signs It’s Time to Have Academy Air Replace Your Smoke Detector

Most smoke detectors last around ten years before needing to be replaced. In the event that you notice any of the following signs, particularly in conjunction with your smoke detector being over ten years old, call Academy Air as soon as possible to have your smoke detector replaced with a brand new one which will help remain keeping your home and family protected:

  • Discoloration: Have you noticed your smoke detector beginning to turn a yellow-ish hue? This is a sign your smoke detector is nearing the end of its useful lifespan. Discoloration in smoke detectors usually occurs due to years of exposure to dust and other air particles and pollutants. The color of your smoke detector is a great indicator of when to have Academy Air replace it.
  • Constantly Chirping: Constant chirping from your smoke detector is not only painfully annoying, but is also an indicator that your smoke detector is on its way out and will need to be replaced by the pros at Academy Air surely any day.
  • No Response to Testing: You should always test your smoke detector at least once per month to ensure that it is in proper working order and will be ready in the event of a fire. If your smoke detector is not responding to the periodic testing, it is likely in need of replacement from the experts at Academy Air.
  • Alarm Going Off For No Reason: As smoke alarms age, they begin to fail and the alarm function will oftentimes go off for no apparent reason. A simple piece of dust blowing by can set off a failing fire alarm. Aside from this being a major annoyance it is also dangerous because when your fire alarm goes off for legitimate reasons, you may not be inclined to take it so seriously. If your smoke detector alarm is going off constantly, for no apparent reason, it’s time to call the certified experts at Academy Air to replace your smoke detector.
