STEVE: Love your videos and your knowledge about everything!
Per the Kidde CO Detector user manual: "Ten (10) years after the unit was installed, this unit will automatically alert you that it is time to replace the unit.
This is called “End of Unit Life” mode. See Troubleshooting Guide." The Troubleshooting Guide lists "2 beeps every 60 seconds" as the end of life alert. As soon as I saw that this was literally 10 years after you installed the unit, I figured that's what was up with the alarm. I also recognized the chirping. That's not an alarm, that's an end of life signal. I know this because I had a client whose house was filled with beeping detectors -- all over the house. I don't know how they could stand it. They couldn't understand why when they changed the batteries, the detectors still beeped.
I can confirm, had that exact model, after 10 years did the same thing, it's because the sensor has a limited lifespan and they don't want somebody to die because the sensor failed and did not alert to a CO problem.
Look at those beautiful PVC pipes. Nice looking run. 😎👍
I love Rheem 90% furnaces but that flame rod is a pain in the ass to sneak out
Notice how he said a good flush as opposed to that other word. Steve is careful around the ladies. Lol.
🤣🤣
So was I !@@willydavid
Great tip Steve! I'll keep a gallon of white vinegar on hand to clean out the pump reservoir every year.
Reminds me of our local record store. Silly smoke/co2 detector with the low battery warning. I offered to bring him a new 9v battery to shut it up. Came in a month later and it's pealed off the ceiling with the battery leads hanging loose.
Can't fix stupid. Much as I like the guy and the store- Smoke alarms do save lives- And he's got a vintage store full of vintage plastic, tapes, records....That would be a hot mess with toxic fumes.
I'm sure the local fire Marshall would love that one. Probably best he fixes it before he sees it.
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again ya’ll. 👍👍. System is in great shape for 10 years old, nice install.
I think those Carbon Dioxide Detectors are supposed to be replaced every 10 years. A person that I watch with a Camper just had to change theirs. It was 10 years old.
yeah they don't last forever life span for them is 5-7 years
some are 6 years..
Most Battery ones now day's last 10 yrs
Every 7 years. The newer ones will beep constantly at the end of its lifespan
The best CO detector is a clean blue flame
The hard wired ones do that. After so many years they have to be replaced. I have them and have had to replace them when they start beeping like that.
All of the alarms I have say they will start beeping 10 years after you first power it on. (hard wired and battery only)
That one had a "service" light on it, just couldn't see the actual led in the video.
I like the interconnected combo smoke/CO2 that are hardwired AND have 10 year lifetime batteries. Don't have to even think about them.
We're running Houston! I had to do that with simple, humidifiers every year, Give it a good 'flush' LOL Steve.
Condensate tablets help too, they are made with copper to prevent microbes growing
Great tip on the bleach/ vinegar!
What’s the expiration date on the unit?
Steve’s never this nice, she must be a keeper!
The Anti DI Y Guy cleans Flame Sensors with a $100 bill.
All co detectors have a life span. Even battery operated ones. Having a single hardwired detector is al most pointless. Only makes sense if you have interconnected detectors.
CO and Smoke detectors are supposed to be replaced every 7-10 years. Manufacturers have added end of life alarms as people would fail to change them at the end of life. The detectors become less sensitive over time. In our state, they only allow hardwired or ones with 10 year batteries as they found people would fail to change the batteries and just take the batteries out when it started to chirp.
Beep beep, time to spend more money
You’d figure the acidic condensation from the furnace would clean the slime.
Steve, you gotta score a sweet honey to ride in your bread truck chariot.
His luck he’d score a ravin bitch. Lol
He does already, Molly 😂
That's a great idea, since I can buy either vinegar or bleach from Sam's Club in bulk. Plus, I can get a couple of those paper funnels from the gasoline station. I believe those carbon monoxide detectors are good for 10 years. I can't smell or taste, so it's a matter of life and death, that I have a carbon monoxide detector.
I like that suclucion make the home owner happy just put in a new one that she can replacement that they can service themselves
My drain lines tie into the floor drain. I throw a 1" bromine tablet in my furnace humidifier where it drains. It slowly leaches into the water and keeps the condensate lines and my floor drain clean and fresh.
I ran into EOL on one off my detectors.
Look at that nice house phone.
Love how the roads are big in the States.
I think the CO Detector was overstepping its Boundaries and was sounding the ALARM that the SLIME level in the condensate pump was in the OVER-RIDE Percentage. Similar to the movie " CHINA SYNDROME "
most smoke and CO detectors time out at 10 years...they beep to say replace me
Nice work
Is it better to put vinegar or bleach in condenser pump?
Great job 👏👍
Why would it be the water heater if it is working properly?
two beeps is replacement tone . she likely has to replace all of them in the house , new models aren’t compatible with old detectors .
"After ten (10) years of cumulative power up, this unit will “chirp” two times every 30 seconds. This is an “operational end of life” feature which will indicate that it is time to replace the alarm. To help identify the date to replace the unit, a label has been affixed to the side of the alarm." This is Kidde's manual on their CO detectors.
We got a chirpa!
Well well well miss molly!
Hello Steve!
Another quick fix and a good educational tip for your customer Steve! Keep the videos coming friend 💥💯👍☝️🫵
Howdy Steve and Molly
Most detectors have a 10 year life span and will beep to let you know it’s replacement time…that’s also why you write the date on them 🤷♂️
However, this old Co detector has 3 wires: Hot, neutral, and communication. It was to communicate with all the other alarms in the house if it went off. Now, she has lost that communication with that new battery powered unit. I know that unit because I have the same model…
There are strict CO alarm laws in mass. One called Nicole’s law requires one within 10 feet of bedroom doors. They have a fixed life of 10 years.
Copper waste plumbing...
If that home ever went foreclosed thieves would have a field day!!!
The truth is most CO detectors lack a DIGITAL DISPLAY readout. To avoid nuisance alarms, they will alert only when CO levels pose a deadly risk- not at lower levels. It's best to use a detector with a digital display so you can have more information to troubleshoot any beeping and alarms.
Although 70 ppm is the upper normal limit for continued CO exposure, the UL requires detectors to alarm within 90 minutes when exposed to 100 ppm; 35 minutes when exposed to 200 ppm, and 15 minutes when exposed to 400 ppm.
When a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, it indicates the presence of carbon monoxide- which can be fatal. Never ignore the sound of an alarm. Leave the home immediately and call 911.
The health effects of CO depend on the CO concentration and length of exposure, as well as each individual's health condition.
Concentration is measured in parts per million (ppm). Most people will not experience any symptoms from prolonged exposure
to CO levels of approximately 1 to 70 ppm, but some heart patients might experience an increase in chest pain.
Carbon monoxide detectors kind of suck. It takes so much carbon monoxide to make them beep that the homeowner will be already be sick by the time it sounds.
y not just replace the hardwired unit? U can use the same harness.
Hi Steve, could you share the brand name of the water detection pucks you mentioned ? Nice job, btw and love your channel.
if its 10 yr old battery im sure its dead......that hard wired one goes to other that go off when that goes off..... now they wont work when yours goes off..
Still looks good customer agrees
Steve that detector should have been replace with a new one period,
Keep the original in stallation ,was perfect
Without having to go through another detector install with battery ,,,,,,
Not good
Water heaters are WOKE 😂😂
CO alarms have a limited life span. The sensors are only good for 10 years, max.
They last only about 7-10 years and they beep to indicate they need replacement.
inducer sounds angry
9D? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
why put another one there? its lasted 10 years ok, replacing the battery on that one is the same as replacing your battery powered replacement!
No All CO detectors have to be junked after 10 years. Some even earlier. There is always an expiration date on the back of the detector. A fresh battery will not extend the life of the CO element.

First comment yippee
