It is the LP detector and it is hard-wired. It is probably faulty.

If it's the one below the bench, near the furnace (near the battery on my clamshell) - that's the LP detector. It's hooked up to the main battery. Mine only chirped when I killed my battery. I went nuts trying to locate the cause of the chirp when this went off - pulled the batteries on both the CO & smoke detectors before I realized the noise was coming from under the bed. Battery-powered LP alarms are available if this is the problem & you choose to not have a hardwired alarm. After a coworker described an explosive hunting trip (yes, there was an LP leak that sent someone to the burn ward), I don't doubt the reason for keeping that alarm functional.
If it's on the wall, it's probably the CO detector. 3 AA batteries takes care of it. A new one is about $20 (just got a new one today at Wally-World that's the same brand & size).
If it's on the ceiling, it's the Smoke Detector.

I have read all the previous posts about LP detector issues, but none seemed to cover my situation. When our furnace goes on at night, the LP detector alarm will randomly come on. It is very annoying! Our windows are open for ventilation, and there is no actual LP leak that I can smell. I have tried resetting the detector but the same thing happens. My assumption is that the detector is faulty and needs to be replaced. Am I right?
