9. Increasing Humidity in the Home: Factors that
Affect Humidity
For homes that are in very dry climates with humidity
levels in the teens, it may take several days or up to a week
to notice increases in humidity in the spaces. This is due to
the fact that virtually all the moisture has evaporated from
the wood, drywall, carpets, draperies, and furniture. Until
this moisture is replaced materials will absorb moisture
from the air, causing little or very little relative humidity
rise in the rooms. As with any whole-house humidifier, the
Humidifier can only increase the moisture in the house
when the fan is running Therefore, in climates where little
heating is required and the heating/fan system is therefore
run very few hours per day, the fan must be run in the non-
heating modes to increase the humidity in the rooms.
This can be accomplished in one of three ways.
1. The Intellistat in setup step 11 can be set to ON, then the
Intellistat will run the fan and humidifier any time the
humidity is below the setpoint.
2. The fan in setup step 13 through 15 of the Intellistat can
be programmed to run so many minutes per hour during
certain hours of the day. The Humidifier will run any time
the fan runs and the humidity is below the setpoint.
3. The fan can be run continuously with the fan ON button.
The Humidifier will then run constantly on a call for
humidity with the Intellistat.
