ELT- How serious?

I was listening to Shannon Center Atc on a scanner today, when several aircraft reported that they had picked up a faint ELT.
Im aware that its an Emergency Locater Transmitter,what I dont know is when they are used by an aircraft?
Do they indicate a serious problem? and
Do both commercial and light aircraft have them?
Thanks for your help!
