Our CO2 alarm went off today advising Carbon Monoxide detected. We immediately opened all windows and turned fans on. We put our fur babies outside. We never had any symptoms and we believe it happened because hubby ran the zero turn lawnmower in the garage with the door just slightly open. The alarm has not sounded since then and it’s been 8 hours. I even tested the alarm. Is it safe?

For future reference I should point out that CO2 is carbon dioxide, it is what gives certain drinks their fizz, it is also what you find in these.co2.jpg.feaeac0103b6d51d7c098e39ed733180.jpg Carbon monoxide is written as CO

 

I would agree with you that running an internal combustion engine within a confined space was not a good idea and was the cause of the alarm condition.

Since the alarm has not sounded since, but did sound when you pressed the test button, I would say there is no more CO present.
