i'll see your thread of the year, and raise youOriginally posted by BluehorseshoeComment -
they are not necessary in most homes... we produce more then enough humidity by just living in the homeComment -
storming in here nowComment -
Jack it up and get a nice case of mold and mildew in your home.
I prefer heaters in the winter and dehumidifiers in the summerComment -
do you live in cold climate ,and have a warm air heating system?Comment -
I love humidifiers bro and heaters. I had a break in though and somebody jacked my humidifier. I might have to get another one.Comment -
The thought of adding humidity doesn't appeal to me.Comment -
haha i hate humidity in the summer but in the winter it helps you breathe sometimesComment -

be careful with humidifiers boys... like sikler said, too much moisture is bad.. the average home produces more then enough humidity just by living (taking showers, breathing, ect..). Take a look at your windows while your system is running, and see if there is moisture.. also take a look in your attic and see if the roofing nails coming down are rusty

Good chance a lot of these guys are in short term rental units. They'd care very little about the mess they leave behindOriginally posted by dlunc3Comment -

Also our heater is run by oil and the humidifier is broke. Sure thats probably a health hazard?Comment -
What type of heater? Oil-filled radiator like this one isn't a health hazard at all. It doesn't burn oil and the oil never has to be changedOriginally posted by zoo youk

I have no idea what kind... Know its def alot bigger than what u posted thoughtOriginally posted by sicklerWhat type of heater? Oil-filled radiator like this one isn't a health hazard at all. It doesn't burn oil and the oil never has to be changed
Live at my step dadsComment -
why are you still heating with oil? switch asap to natural gas... if not available, go with geothermal (30% tax credit), or even an inverter heat pump... oil is very expensive and inefficientOriginally posted by zoo youk
also... if the oil fired heater is older, be very careful of carbon monoxideComment -
I don't think he's using an oil furnace. Space heater is what he seems to be sayingOriginally posted by dlunc3Comment -
oil fired space heaterOriginally posted by sickler
sounds like a disaster to meComment -
It is a oil furnance
About 3 4 years old, not sure why my step dad thinks its not a big deal that the humidifier is broken.
Meanwhile its probably slowly killing usComment -
Ok furnace it is. I've never heard someone call a furnace a heater. Furnace is furnace.
Hope that's 3 or 4 years old and not 34, zooComment -
tell your step dad that he can save himself 66% or more of his fuel bill if he switches to natural gasOriginally posted by zoo youkComment
