If you raise your rooms humidity to at least 30% RH then it will hold the heat better and not require as much heating to keep it at 70/75F it will also lower your heating bill because humid air holds heat better than dry air.

Think about it if there are more water molecules in the air the molecules would be closer together therefore holding the heat produced by the heater better than spread out dry air. You can argue what they tought you at your job all day but it is just a way that they convince people to let them seal all the holes up and make money.

The truth is a humidifier will make your home hold it's temperature longer. It has nothing to do with turning the heat down because if I wasn't running the humidifier then the heater would be working just as hard to keep it at 70 as it was at 72. Fact: before humidifier heater rarely kicked off, ran almost constantly, after humidifier it only kicks on for 10 minutes or so every half an hour or so.

Ok look Do this experiment boil some water, pour equal amounts into same size glasses, put liberal amount of salt in one and mix till dissolved, see which one cools down quicker. The water without salt of course because there are more molecules closer together in the salt water, the same concept of having extra water molecules in the air the molecules are closer together so they hold on to heat better, C'mon man this is like middle school science class.

Humid air holds heat far better than dry air because it has more mass.

You shouldn't make a house air tight.  In fact, I keep windows open 1" even in January when it's -30F outdoors.  I don't wish to breathe the same air over and over again.  Indoor humidity in the winter should be maintained around 30% as already said, with fresh air supplied from outdoors.

This should be in the science and tech forum BTW, and don't get so butt hurt, next you will probably be arguing  doesn't freshen fabrics. I have no scientific facts that back up what I have experienced but you don't have to throw a tantrum and start posting threads trying to make me and RR look bad. I was just telling you my situation, my house feels warmer in cold dry winters with a humidifier running and my humidifier ran out of water and it is starting to feel a bit nippy in here I will go fill it and put this childish nonsense behind me. If you are really being truthful then I am sorry for this post, but it just sounds like you are poking fun because you have been schooled and told different, so if you are trying to make me and RR look like idiots I suggest you keep it to yourself or at least post it in the right forum...

Well RR bans for pleasure so if you want to keep your negative rating up about me that has no reason because I gave you no advice I am sure I can find some inappropriate things you said about him in earlier post and PM the to him. Your choice.

You know what, I was totally wrong man. Now that you put it that way it makes so much sense.

You're right. Everyone should humidify their house to cut down on their energy bills. Because the extra thermal mass of the water in the air energizes you through brownian motion. And since the humidifier is more electrically efficient than the furnace, it actually heats your house cheaper.

Thank you so much and I'm so sorry I misunderstood before. I'm such a dummy. Can you find it in your heart to forgive my ignorance? I can't believe I even had the nerve to challenge something RR said. I mean, that guy knows everything about everything. The mushrooms teach him stuff through his dreams.

If anyone reading this isn't already humidifying your house to over 50%, do it now. You'll save at least 80 dollars a month on your electric bill. You win. Game over.

Bad move kiddo, were not in middle school,
we are a community devoted to the advancement of mycology
and the education of exploring scared sacraments that may
be vital to the understanding of our existence. Much of this requires
a certain level privacy and the understanding that it is of our right
to do so, but falls under the law as a penalty,

talk like that shows the clear lack of understanding of just where you are.
We are at the shroomery, lets act like it

we are fully capable of governing ourselves,
the mods need not deal with such petty squabbles.
they are here to moderate, not ban for your pleasure.

I would suggests reviewing your behavior and ask yourself if
thats who you want to be labeled as while you are here at the shroomery.

I'll chalk this up as your first run in with anonjon and cut you some slack.....

hmmmmm......

I will note this in your ratings to warn of your tattle tail nature,
I will remove it when I feel it is appropriate.

+5 unearned blues for you,
this can change when I see better behavior.
Where I come from, talk like that is a


I also would suggest reading more posting less until your posting form is corrected.
