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.
Why is dry air bad?
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.
What's the difference between humidifier types?
We have a
mini-article on the technologies behind each type of humidifier in the
FAQ section.
How can I improve the performance of my humidifier?
-
Sealing doors and windows, and fireplaces that are not in use.
-
Use tape or special window and door sealers.
-
Do not keep your humidifier in a confined space, get the most out of your humidifier by making sure it is not being restricted by it's surroundings.
-
Do not humidify over 50%, also reduce setting if moisture forms on windows, walls etc, or if there is dampness around the area of the humidifier. Recommended humidity levels are between 30-50%, this will vary on your personal comfort and the type of humidifier you own.
