HVAC Supply houses usually sell CO in a spray can to test detectors. They come in a kit that includes a plactic shower cap that is put over the detector, the tube from the can is poked thru the cap and a two second burst of CO is administered. Tape is put over the hole in the cap and within a few minutes the detector should go off. It is not like a smoke detector as it may take a few minutes to beep.
As said before, they should be replaced every 6 years as they do wear out without warning.
call your local fire dept. they can check it for you .that's what we did .going to replace ours soon .they said that they are only good for 5 years or so . same with the smoke detector and propane detector .
