Introduction
The benefits of a properly humidified environment (35-50%, Relative Humidity) are many. They
include both personal comfort as well as the preservation of furniture, draperies, carpets,
wooden floors and cabinets, paintings, pianos, etc.. Your home will be more comfortable at a
lower temperature (i.e.: 68° F) at 30-40% Relative Humidity (RH) than at 71° to 72° F without
controlled humidity. Since every degree of temperature setback represents about 3% of your
heating costs, this can possibly represent a significant annual savings.
During the heating season, cold air is brought into the home and heated. When heated, this air
dries out and greatly increases its capacity to hold more moisture. By using a humidifier, a source
of water is provided to satisfy this increased moisture holding capability, rather than having it
drawn from our body surface and the surrounding hygroscopic furnishings in the home.
