    Carbon Monoxide went off 3 times now in one month!

    Rubbish! you are commenting without engaging your brain, ( I wonder if you have one!!!!) I said from the beginning, this was not even a Co issue, but a false alarm issue, you lost the plot, you just proved that you are the ****** in this scenario. I even stated clearly that I suspected it was...

    Carbon Monoxide went off 3 times now in one month!

    One possible source we overlooked that just sprang to my head is that my wife light up tea light / candle about 1 meter below the area where this Co detector is mounted, I am not even sure if at the time it went off if this tea light was burning, so may be this will have to be looked into, often...

    Carbon Monoxide went off 3 times now in one month!

    No it is not a detached property, nor semi, its a mid terraced but towards the rear the houses narrow down by 2 meters approx, on each side ( well actually 6 feet exactly) so my flue faces their side wall, as my boiler is situated along this rear side wall, as my kitchen is mid way, whilst they...

    Carbon Monoxide went off 3 times now in one month!

    That won't surprise me though, elements can get red hot if some fault developed and anything spilled in them could give rise to Co as it burns out, usually the insulation is fire proof, years ago I came across someone who was into solar energy trapping, using materials like the bricks used in...

    No, we did not, neighbours flue did not even come in to question as their's is along the other wall facing the garden, whereas mine faces their side wall, 4 meters gap between the two properties.

    Carbon Monoxide went off 3 times now in one month!

    So what do you imply, I spend a thousand pounds on a top quality CO detector that has the same chance of a component failure as a cheap £5.00 detector? Remember the Billion Dollar space shuttle that fell out of the sky and killed all of its astronauts, due to one single component failure...

    Utter nonsense and rubbish. You have anything constructive to add rather than making stupid remarks. in which way does your remarks help other than to fan the fire.

    Why don't you ask this question to rules and rulers instead of barking up a wrong tree?

    Carbon Monoxide went off 3 times now in one month!

    How much do you think I should spend on my safety ? and why don't I breath through an oxygen mask to ultimately safeguard my life? and when going out and about, do I wrap myself in bullet proof jacket and have two personal body guards armed with guns, just in case some mad man tries to stab me...

    Carbon Monoxide went off 3 times now in one month!

    What my point was, what would an average person do when a CO alarm goes off, since CO is colourless, odourless gas, therefore it is difficult to say if the detector simply went off for ne real reason, i.e. false alarm, or possibly reacted to something else apart from CO. Therefore my conclusion...

    Carbon Monoxide went off 3 times now in one month!

    This is made by Kidde, Model No 900-0260, and says it will start to chirp away 7 years after initial power up, but I am wondering if it needs replacing soon after it detects any real CO, as when subjecting it to real test with known source of CO such as cigarette smoke or coal fire, or even car...

    Boiler as at the time the CO went off it was not running, CH was off, no one using hot water either, and checked boiler was cool, only a small pilot light was on, (VCW 221GB which is a balanced flue vaillant) my wife had not been cooking anything either, so no fumes from the oven or gas burners...

    Carbon Monoxide went off 3 times now in one month!

    Earlier last month (April) my heating was still on ( i run it on low flow temp of between 35° - 40 C continuously) we still had a fair amount of chill during April. So one April day it went off, causing me to get a gas safe mate to look at the boiler just in case. He could find nothing obvious...

    Matt emulsion not sticking

    Of course you would need to key the gloss first with some sort of sander, this has already been suggested above by others, I had to do that with a 80 grid sander, this enabled the mat to key in so that when it dries it won't chip away. But I was talking of when rolling back and forth is when...

    Can't get radiator off! Help?!

    Pack a block of wood of a right size, preferably little tight, between the wall and the body of the valve, make sure the block covers the bottom nut, so as to stop it turning when you apply downwards torque with your wrench or adjustable spanner, and then don't apply torque alone, you also need...

    Under prised, why not say £60.00 was for the actual time on premises plus the travelling time and mileage on top, so depending on how many trips per week, add your mileage allowance at HMRC rate, plus half 1 hr travelling per trip.
