What relative humidity level should you use? The rule of thumb is 30-50%. Use the digital monitor humidistat / hygrometer at the top of this page to monitor your room or home humidity level.
During winter, when the heat is on, the relative humidity in your house can become very low. This is because heated air can hold much more moisture than cold air. So, as the air in your home heats up, it becomes "thirsty" and begins sucking moisture out of surrounding surfaces: plants, walls, furniture, books, paintings, human bodies, everything. Whenever we heat air we dry out the air to uncomfortable and damaging levels. By keeping the humidity above 30%, you can normally turn down your thermostat a few notches. Your heated air will feel warmer, creating a safer, more efficient environment.
