Ok I have a inside Daka wood furnace, use as my whole house heat, 2700 sq.ft. 72 degrees 24 -7, my humidity stays right around 28-, even with a nice room humidifier does not get any higher, checked with several readers all read the same, Does anyone check theres with a digital reader if so whats it read and whats your solution. Thanks, Ray
I'm running a quadrafire fireplace and about the same sq. footage.
Primary is the burner and hardly ever go below 68.
Humidity is between 20-50% depending on the weather WITH the humidifier going. The house is 3 years old and tighter than a Banjo string.
At a certain point, thanks to the cold dry air outside, ya just ain't gonna beat it. Rght now it's 24 degrees outside, 74 in here, and 38%.
As a cold front moves in I can watch it progress as the humidity in here tanks, then goes back up as the front moves onward.
I thought maybe it was the house leaking a bit, but had my HVAC guy check pressure differential and the place is almost TOO tight.
Maybe a higher volume humidifier would help, I dunno. Mine is rated for twice the square footage I have,so I can't see any chance of that working without localized condensation or other issues.
Best of luck to ya!
Maybe one of the guys has a gem nobodys uncovered yet.
Stay safe!
