Relative humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air relative
to the amount the air can hold at the same temperature. The
colder the air; the less moisture it can hold. As air is warmed, its
ability to hold moisture is increased. Relative humidity is impor-
tant to your health and home as proper humidification helps
reduce respiratory difficulties and helps improve the indoor air
quality.
A good relative humidity is one just high enough to barely start
condensation along the lower edges or lower corners of the win-
dows. More than that can be damaging.
Frequent fogging or excessive condensation on inside windows
indicates the indoor humidity level is too high for outdoor
weather conditions. Damage to the building may result if the
condition persists. Condensation on inside of storm windows
indicates a poor seal inside windows. Adding weather-stripping
to tighten inside windows usually corrects this problem.
The following table shows the recommended maximum indoor
humidity in relationship to the outdoor temperatures.

There are many types and styles of thermostats but operation is
usually similar. BE SURE TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH YOUR THER-
MOSTAT. The simplest type of thermostat only starts and stops
the furnace to maintain the desired room temperature. The most
widely used types will control both heating and cooling func-
tions and will have a Fan Switch with Auto and ON settings. On
Auto, the circulating air blower will cycle on/off with the furnace
but if switched to ON it will run continuously regardless of
whether or not heating or cooling is being provided.
In addition, there are thermostats which automatically switch
from heating to cooling mode and those with night set back ca-
pability. The night set back, or multiple set back, type allows for
a different temperature at night or during the day when no one
is at home. Programmable thermostats will allow for more con-
trol and tailoring of the heating and cooling functions. The level
of this control depends on the type of thermostat applied.
