We have a carbon monoxide alarm (as I'm sure most houses do nowadays) and all of them started going off this morning. I took my dog and brother outside and called my dad. He looked at the alarm system and it turned out it was just a malfunction. So then it just started going off again. I took out the batteries (it's flipping annoying) and opened a bunch of windows. My dog isn't allowed downstairs, so she's locked in her room. I opened all the windows in there too. Do you think it's just malfunctioning again? I don't know how to work the alarm system, so I can't tell if there's legitimately anything going on...
Did I do the right thing? What should I do? Ahhhhhh freaking out
Carbon monoxide? What can I do?

There will be a name on the detector ( like First Alert) and a model number. You can get the contact information from their website and give customer service a call. They should be able to give you a reset procedure OR it may be that you have a CO problem and the detectors are doing what they are supposed to do. If you can't get customer service, I would call the fire company and let them use their CO sniffer to see if you have a problem or a bad detector. If they are plugged into the wall independently and they are are all going off you have a CO problem, if they are hardwired and interconnected so they all go off if one does you might just have one bad detector. Be sure to check the batteries as even hardwired detectors have a battery back up. Rechargeable battery detectors need their batts replaced about every 5 years . Most manufacturers also recommend replacing smoke and CO detectors every 10 years so if they are at least that old maybe a rreplacementis called for. Your life isn't worth guessing if they are malfunctioning, so consider calling the fire company if they continue to go off.

Well, you should shut off anything that could be causing a carbon monoxide buildup, namely a gas furnace, water heater, or other source.
Opening the windows and getting circulation into the house will help, but it'd be better to eliminate a potential source.
Then you can undertake to find out whether or not there's a system problem going on.
