Which feels warmer???

[Frostin]

Me and the old lady are having the discussion of which feels warmer in the winter having a humid house or a dry house??? She thinks we need to buy a humidifier because it will make it feel warmer, I think she's wrong but I dunno... any input??? Also, if it matters, we typically use two electric heaters in addition to our gas furnace.

humid heat deffinately feels warmer than dry heat. and a dry cold feels warmer than a humid cold.

Humid is hotter but less comfortable.

BUY a humidifier?

Why not just get a relatively large pot and set some water to a slow boil?

The steam will humidify your house...:eek:

putting humidify air in your house will keep your wood furiture form drying out in the winter.

We run 2 of them in our house, mostly for the static electricity problem. It gets so dry, that everything you touch, you get shocked from.
