My smoke alarms have a nasty habit of going off in the middle of the night. I'm in a humid area, wondering if that is the cause or maybe something to do with the HRV pumping different temperature air over them.

[–] Dave 2 points 10 months ago

Smoke alarms normally say not to install within X distance (50cm maybe?) of a duct. Not sure if that's because of dust or heat, I know our DVS gets big circles of grime around them from what I assume is grubby ceiling air (even though it has a filter) that needs cleaning every few years. Hard to see if you're not up close, though.

Humidity might be an issue, because I was silly enough to put a smoke alarm where shower steam would reach (our house has a weird layout) and it would set off the smoke alarm. However, I've never heard of just generally humid air being a problem, but that doesn't mean it isn't.
