Hi there,
I've started using a humidifier every night in my bedroom. So far I've used it for roughly 2 weeks.
Since my bedroom's window is towards the street (without fence), the window is always closed.
If I continue using this humidifier every night for let's say a year or over, can the humidity damage the structure or attract termites?
I had never used a humidifier before so not sure if this can affect anything.
Appreciate your knowledge on this.
I read that termites like the humidity that's why I was worried but couldn't find more details online. It's mostly about humidifer safety.
When using humidifier, I always set a hygrometer near me to measure if I'm near getting dust mite or mould level. Somewhere 65% humid level is a sign of dust mites and 70% is mould level.
So if I get a hygrometer and maintain the humidity less than 65% I shouldn't get any bad consequences?
Yes, exactly!
Thanks!
If most or everyday you wake up you see heavy condensation on the window glass (from inside), it is a sign that humidity is somewhat higher and may lead into mould. hopefully you’ll get some more helpful answers
Thanks. Yes there is some condensation on the Windows even on the ensuite, that's why I got worried.
I don't know about the building but I've had problems with these things & random crashes with my computer. When I turned the humidifier off again, the computer stopped crashing.
Ohh, not good. We only use it overnight when ready to sleep.
Running humidifier whole night gives me stuffed nose in the morning. Not sure if others also experience the same.
Husband snores less loud with humidifier on, that's why we use it, 😂.
Nah for termites, maybe for mould. Usually used with air cond
