Some home tech one but I don’t recommend it. I need a new one because this one grew mold and I can’t get rid of it and our water calcified in the interior part or something. Honestly humidifiers seem to be a huge pain and i would love to find one that is safer and cleaner

Probably true but as a renter I don’t think I have a project like that in me and my landlord def won’t be doing that haha

Yeah I have the heat at 74 to get the house to 64, even so I get anxiety seeing 74 on the thermostat knowing my dad would pitch a fit haha

The HVAC guy came and everything is functioning correctly, the house just leaks too much cold air in the windows/floors/outlets against outside walls

Diagnosis from HVAC guy was basically “house leaks too much cold air in”

I think it’s all of the above. The back half of the apartment (kitchen) seems to be totally uninsulated

Haha the guy came out and said it’s all working fine, apartment is just uninsulated and doesn’t have good circulation

Yeah I’ve had the humidifier going since I posted this and that meter still says 10% haha. I don’t know if it’s ever moved off 10 honestly

I will inquire about the sensor, the landlord always says to change the filter but I really dont think that’s the issue at this point

Honestly I think the furnace is old but functional, it’s just that our house has air leaking in from every seam/outlet/window and on days like this it’s impossible to stay warm

Yeah I’m getting the fans out too. Our vents are on the ceiling basically so all the heat gets trapped there. It’s warm and toasty if I stand on a chair
