Maybe cause the humidifier puts out vapors
of dihydrogen monoxide, and might cause
false alerts?

My sister has a stand alone humidifier located against a wall a few
inches away from where a carbon monoxide detector is plugged into a wall
outlet.

An electrician doing some work in her home told he the detector
shouldn't be located so close to the humidifier but didn't tell her why.

Other than the possibility of accidentally splashing water onto the
carbon monoxide detector while filling the humidifier, is there any
valid reason why they can't be located near each other?

Thanks guys,

Jeff
