garage door sensor blinking red light

diagnostic codesCouple of questions...Is this commercial or a residential unit?Is it a smoke detector or a CO detector?Is it hard wired with a battery back up or is it just a battery operated unit?There can be a difference between "silencing" and "resetting" an alarm. If this is an older single, stand alone, battery operated smoke detector, then, yes, it might be time to replace it. The average life of a smoke detector is usually only 5-10 years depending on where it is located. (Closer to the kitchen less, in a bedroom longer) If this unit is a CO detector, you might want to look around a little more carefully. Is it close to the garage where car exhaust might have set it off? Did something change with a gas furnace, stove or water heater? If this is the case, call the gas company or fire department to come check CO levels. If it is an alarm that is part of a system that has been silenced, the blinking red light usually indicates the offending agent is still activating the detection device.

Since it's not a fire, then the other suggestion of replace, clean, and contact the manufacturer or monitoring company are probably the best bet. It can get pretty complicated...even firefighters recommend this once there is no threat determined.First off, if the fire alarm is going off in your house, GET OUT. Evacuate everyone, and call 911 immediately. Let us reset the alarm and determine the root cause.In your case, sounds like you skipped this step. There's a few more things you can do. I'm assuming it's a few days later, so your house hasn't burned down - that it's definitely an alarm issue. If I'm wrong and the alarm is serviced by ADT or whoever, call the alarm company and have them send out a maintenance guy.Assuming it is a do-it-yourself unit, here's some things you can try. Is the replacement battery good? Take a known good battery (i.e., it powers something else now), and test that. Check the battery contacts and make sure there's actually a good connection. Google the alarm model number along with troubleshooting and see if that brings up anything.

where to buy e36 m3 door panel That's very difficult to answer without seeing the house. As one poster said, the prep is the most important part. On newer homes that don't have a lot of peeling paint, the prep can be very minimal even as low as a couple or a few hundred dollars for the prep labor. On a 100 year old home with 12 coats of peeling paint on it, then the prep costs can be very high and can easily exceed 50% of the job's labor cost.A 2100 sq ft two story home could easily cost $1000 just for the labor to prep for the paint job. That number could climb too. Throw in lots of caullking or window glazing, and you could be talking a couple or a few hundred dollars more for labor.

Painting that home with one coat of paint and a different color on the trim could run roughly $1000 or more just for labor. Add a second coat and that could cost close to another $1000 for labor. For paint, you may need 20 gallons of paint. You can pay from $30-$70 for a gallon of good quality exterior paint. The manufacturer of the paint should be specified in any painting contract. Otherwise, the contractor could bid at a Sherwin-Williams $60 per gallon paint and then paint the house with $35 Valspar and pocket the difference. $25 dollars per gallon times 20 gallons? That's a pretty penny too. That was the long answer to your question. The short answer is $2000 to $4000 and up, depending upon the amount of prep, the number of coats, the amount of trim, and the paint used.Door Panel Installation and Troubleshooting The faceplate came off when I pulled the battery tab.
