Last time we talked about the importance of humidity in the house. It's important for
your comfort. It's important for your furnishings. It's important because, if the humidity is
higher, you're going to feel warmer and you can keep your thermostat lower and save energy.
How much humidity is required? Most people are comfortable at thirty-five to forty-five
percent humidity. How much water do you need? Depending on your home, you need about a gallon
of water per day for every hundred-fifty square feet. That's a pretty good sized bedroom.
Now, a central humidifier installed in your ductwork can put out the contents of these
four buckets in a day. A standalone humidifier puts out the contents of that tank and then
you refill it. Which is better for you? You can decide that.
