Condensation inside

Just look up dew point calculator. There are many. Enter the air temp and humidity for dew point. If you have an infrared thermometer you can check the suspected area, window frame, door and such.

What dew point should I be aiming for?

@suntan will tell you as wet as possible between the sheets.

Gotta level up for the craft room sensors?

What's has your humidity levels been around the past few days?

Ours is around ~20%, although we have the ecobee set for 36% it never really comes close to that, or even rises much at all (even when the temperature was slightly warmer)

We had an ecobee installed earlier this year, last few winters we used a non-smart thermostat/humidistat and I swear humidity levels never dropped this low. Or if they did, I could atleast bump it up at the humidstat and it would go up. With the ecobee it just seems to stay low regardless of the setting.

We have an evaporative type humidifier, which means it would really only work when the furnace heat/fan are both running, correct?

My inside humidity was 30% yesterday - today its 28%.

Its cold again outside but the windows arent all wet so I think we are on the right track.

a+ way to dry out a house. Wood burning fireplace.

Couple long hot fires and my house was sub 20%. Had to turn the humidifier back on lol

[ExtraSlow]

That'll do it. Probably mostly from air exchange.

Anyone who's still wants less moisture, today's a great day lol.

[nagooro]

Im sitting at 15%, I don't even want it this low lol..Tried cranking the humidity target on the ecobee up, but doesn't seem to wanna increase the levels, even before this cold snap.

Will check the humidifier and maybe give it a clean and check the water panel. Excess water is being drained, not sure if its going through the panel or not...

[killramos]

Ecobee uses some smart programming to lower the target humidity based on outside temps.

At -35 like it is now your home can tolerate almost 0 humidity without your windows sweating. So that’s my guess as to what is happening.

[nzwasp]

Currently at 20% inside. No condensation on the windows however I can’t turn the humidifier back on because the place we got it from supplied the wrong sized filters. I have a general aire 570.

16% this morning.
Ran hot shower with fan blowing from bathroom into rest of house
Now 44% good enough for rest of day as it drops off.

I placed MIL in the mud room on top of the washer, we're now at 50% humidity.

[nzwasp]

gross and unrealistic
