For many homeowners, controlling their humidifier can be a frustrating experience. They must check the outside temperature in order to adjust the humidifier’s output of moisture. Too much moisture will cause condensation on windows and too little will cause health and skin irritations. For the most part, individuals have difficulty maintaining the appropriate 35-50% relative humidity (rh). In turn, contractors and technicians receive more callbacks to adjust or explain the workings of the humidifier.
With new humidification technology, these frustrations can be reduced. Currently, at least two manufacturers have made available a line of automatic humidifiers. These units do their own calculations and adjust the level of humidity and moisture accordingly.
