A home needs humidity for both the house and your general health. 30% to 40% humidity is correct. When you get below 30%, furniture and rugs dry out and get crackly. You can get static electricity shocks all over the house. Your sinuses will dry out badly and you can start having severe nose bleeds. Over 50% humidity and you run a definete risk of mold and mildew starting all over the house, which poses a direct safety and health hazard. Homes without a humidifier usually run into these problems in the winter months when the house is sealed up against the outside elements. You can run small humidifiers to help this, but the best long term remedy is to install a humidifier in the furnace itself. AprilAire is a brand I have used in three different homes so far. It installs easily into the plenum chamber behind the furnace, taps into a cold water pipe easily and has an adjustment dial which allows you to set the amount of moisture coming into the home. Maintenance is easy,,,,,you just clean out the filter inside the unit. Best of luck to you and I hope you can find this useful.<br><b>References : </b><br> Both answers above are completely correct, but I will add just one more item for your consideration.

Humidifiers installed on a forced air furnace with a bypass provides a comfortable house and eliminates the dryness, static electricity, scratchy throats etc. You run a humidifier in the cold months (Nov-April) only. Turn it off when the weather starts to get warmer. A central air conditdoner dehumidifies the house by removing moisture (humidity) from the air.<br><b>References : </b><br> YES and you can turn the thermostat down 2 or 3 degrees and maintain warmth.

Relatively speaking. A humidifier puts water into the air which makes perspiration evaporate more slowly so you don't feel as cool. Evaporation cools. Reduce evaporation and you reduce the cooling effect. Just the opposite is true of an A/C. It takes water out of the air, making your perspiration evaporate more quickly making you feel cooler.<br><b>References : </b><br>Bio major Yes. Relatively speaking.
