3:00 in the morning and the incessant beep starts.
Next you have the struggle to figure out which one it is and turns out it was the carbon monoxide detector. I'm wide-awake now. Guess I will catch up on some threads.
IT won't hurt to have one.Originally Posted by WellingtonCats
OMG! LOL! I've never heard of the monoxide detector....should we have one of those?
And then they will go off in the middle of the night...Originally Posted by Rosiemac
I had two new smoke alarms installed after i moved in, and thankfully as well as being wired up they have a ten year battery in them.
8 more years to go!

When I was up in the middle of the night I was telling myself that would be a good practice to start.Originally Posted by Pookie-poo
My mom has me convinced that you should always change the batteries at daylight savings time change (both on and off.) Since I've been doing that (for several years now) I haven't been awakened by the darn thing in the middle of the night anymore. I also change all my clock batteries at the same time, so I just don't have to think about it.
Poor Much.Originally Posted by katachtig
We found out that our carbon monoxide detector will go off if we are reducing wine for cooking. The first time it happened, I thought it was the regular alarm system and tried to turn it off. When that didn't work, I call the alarm company. While I was doing this, I had Much following me around, screaming at me to make it stop. The poor guy who had to take my call got to hear not only the alarm, but this very PO'd cat.
