The air in my house feels dry and gross

[IPA4Me]

Seal those leaks @benja!

My apartment air is super dry. What are the chances they would care enough to fix it? I'm guessing 0 percent.

True story alert: Young dobber had a studio apartment for a few months that had the driest rough ridin' air you can imagine. I would boil water on the stove to try to increase the humidity.

Do you smart people think this was a good idea? (never mind the inefficiency, electricity was part of the rent)

40% per the Nest....

My windows would be so sweaty

[IPA4Me]

Oof. That's no good, SD.

[steve dave]

Yeah, that's why I keep it ~35

[Tobias]

mine's been about a steady, unassisted 32% over the last week I guess

We don't even have a humidifier going...just people, cooking, showers, and stuff.

I just use lots of lotion to stay moisturized.

[star seed 7]

what's the worst part of summer?  humidity!  why you want humidity in your winter too is beyond me but alright i guess different strokes

[Benja]

I bet we're closer on this issue than we think, seven. I mean, I love me some dry heat sometimes. Arizona in November is amazing.

I never had a humidity gauge, but the air didn't seem as dry and gross, so I thought it did.

How many people do you have in your house showering, cooking, and "stuff"?

Sounds like it was a great idea. That was how we did it with our wood stove. Big pot sat on top simmering.

I mean, that's pretty much exactly how steam humidifiers work so yes, slobber, that was very industrious of you. Although you could have just bought a tiny crappy humidifier for like 15 bucks.

my house (built in 1908) has brand new windows and doors and HVAC with whole home humidifier (kept at 35%) nothing gets sweaty or anything, but it's just always cold. Like, as soon as the furnace shuts off it feels instantly cold again. I'm assuming this is just because I have no insulation in the walls, right?

I insulated the attic over the summer when we replaced the roof, also put in roof vents and eave vents, which helped keep the upstairs cool on the hot days. I'm thinking the next step is to insulate the basement somehow, because the floors on the first floor are ice cold. any suggestos on this? batt insulation in between the joists? spray on?

Radiant floors bruh. Hell you could probably just shut off your central air bc the heat from the floor will keep you quite comfortable even though the thermostat might only say 65

yeah, I'm not going to tear up 106 year old original hardwood floors I just had refinished to install radiant heating...unless it's possible to do this without destroying my house, not gonna happen.
