I have three Nighthawk Carbon Monoxide detectors. One in the basement, one in the kitchen and one in an upstairs bedroom. The kitchen and bedroom detectors have been showing "10" for the past 48 hours (the basement reads "0"). There is an attached garage, but neither car has been running for the past 14 hours. I decided to turn off the furnace and water heater for a couple hours and open four windows. There was no change in the readings. I then unplugged them, plugged them back in, and waited an hour. The readings of "10" returned. Since there is no combustion I"m wondering where the detectors are picking up the CO? There are no noticeable odors in the house, even after being outdoors for 2 to 3 hours. Any ideas?
