For some reason the CO2 alarm keeps going off. I know the stove tops are off, and the 9V battery that powers it, have not gone down to levels that will make the CO2 alarm "chirp" once a minute.
But for the last 2 weeks my CO2 alarm keep going off at all hours of the day or night. Even when I'm not home.
Can someone PLEASE HELP!!!
Thank You in advance.

The batteries are brand new. They were changed last month.

Most carbon monoxide detectors use a chemical reaction to measure levels. When they get old they can malfunction. Check the manufacture date on yours and see if it needs replaced. For more info, check out the furnace page at my source. It will give you more info about co sources and what to do.

Usually it could be a sign that battery is going bad, or the CO detector itself is going bad. How old is the detector? Also, how do you know there are no levels present?

If you're sure the batteries good, and you've had a PROFESSIONAL check your CO levels, then as said above...the unit's bad and it's time for a replacement.

Just so we know....CO2 is carbon DI-oxide not carbon MON-oxide, which is CO. di means 2, ,mon means one. but i would try a new battery or a new alarm, either may be defective.

check for a spider web in it, or dust on the eye,
