My carbon monoxide detector chirps once every min or so, the light will flash red once in awhile which means battery power is getting to it. Will it still detect carbon monoxide until my husband gets home tonight to replace the pack that goes in it, or should i be concerned?

I know there isn't a carbon monoxide leak because this has been doing it for a week when I turn it on. The instructions say it is a normal noise for when the battery is dieing, I want to know if it will still work while it is cherping.

Mine continues to operate while it is chirping to tell you that the battery is low. It is when it stops chirping that the unit will not and cannot detect carbon monoxide. At least that is what the instruction manual that came with mine says.

i would call the gas company or oil company and have them come out to check it out. they usually will do it for free but if they are too busy, i would call a hvac tech and tell them what is going on and they should get there in a hurry.

Relax, it will continue to operate until the battery dies.

It will be ok for a little while but be sure it is not telling you something else

S/B, BUT MAYBE IN A DIMINISHED CAPACITY!
