Natural gas alarm question?

The alarm is a plug in alarm and plugged right by the furnace and boiler and it went off and i slightly moved it and it stopped alarming, and i have one upstairs and it didnt go off. Any advice??!

Answer:

I doubt it check your vent stack for a blockage as problems there can have an effect on your plumbing and cause the traps to 'blow' thus allowing smells back into the home and the slow draining you are describing failing that have your main line snaked in case of a blockage there ok,good luck.
I've done this in the chemical engineering lab at PSU. nitrile gloves Add a magnetic stir bar 1 part methanol, 1 part vegetable oil, and some lye (NaOH) to a beaker. Put on a magnetic stirrer and heat to approximately 50 degrees C (any hotter and your methanol vapors might ignite.) Let it react for an hour. Let settle and separate the aqueous and biodiesel phase with a sep funnel or decanting if you don't care about yield/purity. You're done, as far as safety nothing here will kill you, just don't let the methanol get too hot or near a spark.
Sounds like an electrical problem. Could be a wire not plugged in or a wire that was cut and is shorting out. Did I say I hated locking torque converters.
