Hi All -
We installed a pellet stove in our home this year and are just now beginning to use it. I read that the humidity in the house would be reduced considerably, as the heated air from the stove is very dry. This week we purchased a whole house humidifer to rectify the humidity issue.
Now for my question: which would feel warmer - moist (humidified) air or non-humidified (dryer) air? I have read opinions both ways. The answer might determine how much (or little) we humidify the air.
Thanks for your help.

moist air holds heat that you will feel. 40 to 60 per cent humidity is a range for winter though the extremes might not be best for you depending, 50 per cent humidity is best.
Depends. If you are below the optimal range of 40-60%, your sinuses may dry out, which is not good for your health.
On the other hand, suddenly raising humidity by a large amount - e.g. by hanging up wet laundry indoors - will make the air feel much colder, even when the temp. on the thermometer stayed the same. (speaking from personal experience as somebody who freezes easily).
As an aside, what type of heating did you use before, that the change to a pellet oven makes you think about drier air than before?
Does the humidifier of your choice come already with a hygrometer, or did you hang up a hygrometer for two weeks and track the development and see that the air was drier than before?
How good is the circulation of air in your house - are there stagnant corners? And did you place your sensors where you will be, or are they high on the wall where things might be different from what you feel on the couch?
