lol looks like I learned something new today. I've never heard of a hygrometer before. Since my house gets really dry in the winter, I think I'll try one, too. Thanks.

Knowing the humidity level is important.

 

I use this Hygrometer: http://www.theweatherstore.com/dihyth.html

 

It is not the most accurate at +-5%, but it is close enough for ballpark. You can get +-1% Hygrometers, but the price is just too high in my opinion. I would recommend you ensure that whatever you purchase is at least +-5% or better.

 

I keep the humidity in my home at 45% summer and winter. I must run the Humidifiers all year due to the dry climate AC in summer and Heater in winter reduces the level down to less than 20% here.
