35% here. I don't have a humidifier thing. Some of you dorks should just move south.

Since I added the foam board insulation to the band board and sealed it with expanding foam, my humidifier hasn't ran this year. Easy to install.

this is outrageous

This is ridiculous already. The new crib will have a whole house humidifier and I will crank that bitch up to 85%.

I guess I don't notice when it's super dry.

IPA4Me · « **Reply #158 on:** December 08, 2016, 08:12:37 PM »

Meh. I like 35-40% RH. I'm a snot factory much drier than that.

A bit OT, but what geothermal system should I purchase for my pad to replace an existing, old geothermal system?

IPA4Me · « **Reply #165 on:** September 10, 2018, 07:25:04 PM »

I'd use Waterfurnace or Comfort Aire..

i bought all the stuff to do this in my house but then hid it all in a corner of the attic and moved

Getting pricing on a Waterfurnace 5 series unit. We already have an open loop unit so hopefully that helps a bit on the cost.

Fantastic system.

XocolateThundarr · « **Reply #170 on:** September 13, 2018, 10:44:11 AM »

Thinking this is what I am going to go with in a month or two:

Model Number: NDV064A111NTR0CA

Which includes the following items:
1. 60,000 Btuhs capacity ( 5 tons)
2. Factory installed Hot Water Generator
3. Full Variable Speed ECM Blower motor
4. Cupronickel water coil option
5. Right hand return
6. Aurora Performance Control option package
7. Intellistart compressor soft start up option
8. 10 year parts and 10 year labor warranty
9. 15 Kw internal auxiliary heater package
10 TPCC32U01 Communicating Programmable Color Touchscreen Thermostat with full energy and performance monitoring
11 High Efficiency Air Filtration

Also going to have them re-install the whole house humidifier that is currently in place. They also have an option to install a second tank that holds the water from the hot water generator and hook it up to our current water tank which would give us 100 gallons of capacity (probably going to do this as well).

Nice setup.

What size is being removed?

XocolateThundarr · « **Reply #172 on:** September 13, 2018, 03:38:44 PM »

It's an old Florida Heat Pump that was installed when the house was built around 93. I'm not sure of the size, but my guy said the FHPs back in the day were usually "in between" capacities. I'm guessing it was just enough for the size of house at the time, but really needed to jump to the next model up.

I'd be data logging to see how often that beautiful machine actually makes it to full capacity. Bet it does most days below 50%.
