Carbon Monoxide Detector Beeping.

[Tilly2]

This evening out detector has beep/ chipped about once every hour.

I have just called British Gas to ask for someone to come and change the battery as we can't do it because it's tamper proof.

I was transferred to the BG Emergency service and an engineer is coming out within the next two hours!

I have had to turn off the boiler and open the upstairs windows.

God! I think they've gone a bit OTT! I know you can't smell, see or hear Carbon Monoxide but we only have a gas boiler and that was serviced about six weeks ago.

We have a gas fire but that hasn't been on.

I think as part of the service Tilly they should have changed the battery.

[Tilly2]

So now we have someone coming at 9.00 pm to change it. Botheration!

[TWR]

Get the bottle out, & leave the bloke alone. lol lol xx

Can you borrow a canary from anyone?

[Tilly2]

I've got Dad's miners lamp upstairs, Jo. Will that do?

[scorpiojo]

;o)))

[Tilly2]

He's bound to turn up just as we start to eat our evening meal.

[Tilly2]

He's been and gone.

We need a new detector. I told you it was an OTT reaction by BG. Stupid!

[Tilly2]

I am slightly concerned that no one was concerned that I might be slowly becoming overcome by Carbon Monoxide poisoning.

I thought AB was a caring community......?

Pah!

[scorpiojo]

Glad to hear you're ok, Tilly ;o)

I have one which is out of reach
Beeped every 30 seconds when battery needed changing
Had to grab some poor bloke in the Close to help
He has since moved

[TWR]

Are you still with us Tilly? I'm caring lol

[donny48]

I was looking for a phonebox to get changed in. There are very few left.

Tilly, why the need for a tamper proof monitor?.Go and buy one that will allow you to change the batteries.

[TWR]

I would think B.G Fitted the detector Danny, it will be part of the warantee.

[thelewisgang]

I agree with not having a tamper proof one. You can buy them quite reasonably now in most supermarkets. I always change the batteries in mine on an annual basis as they always seem to "beep" during the night. Think they only have a 7 year lifespan x

[TWR]

Warranty even.

I bet you have got a 'Tilly' lamp also?

[Tilly2]

A.O.G, I don't have a Tilley lamp. They look dangerous to me. I do have a Tilley hat, though. I thought I might need to wear it last night after I turned off the heating.

Danny, it's a British Gas detector and they don't like you meddling with their things.
