Temperature-compensating whole-house humidifiers?
Do they work (the temperature compensating part, that is)?
We're in that part of the winter when it's -20F at night and +15F during the day, and I try to remember to adjust the manual setting on the humidifier in the morning and evening, but sometimes forget. Even tripple-paned, argon-filled, low-E windows will have condensation in the morning if the humidifier is set too high over night, and there's the additional danger of long-term damage from condensation inside the walls. On the other hand, I don't like drawing sparks from static electricity if the humidity is set too low, not to mention the possible damage to the woodwork and furniture from drying out. Since we already have a whole-house humidifier, upgrading to a temperature-compensated model wouldn't be a major engineering effort. But, do they actually work? -- Bert Hyman St. Paul, MN |
