I just moved into a new home that is all electirc. In my previous home I had natural gas, so I had a carbon mononoxide dectector. I just unpacked my old detector and plugged it in for the heck of it. It had a high reading of carbon monoxide. Is that possible or is it defective. Can I have carbon monoxide without having natural gas.

If there is no gas or fireplace in your home, I would look into the box that you moved it in. There are many chemicals that the fumes will mess with the sensor.
Take outside if possible and turn on, let set for a half hour to fresh air the sensor.
Also with the cold weather many people use fireplaces, if the humidity was high and no wind, many times the smoke or smoke by products i.e. CO will stay low to the ground and enter your home.
