I have a natural gas furnace with a Honeywell pass through style humidifier installed on the cold air return with a bypass to the hot air output.
I have it so configured so that the water flows through the humidifier when the furnace fan runs and the humidistat calls for humidity. The fan is set to run constantly.
My problem is that I can't get the humidity inside the house above about 33%. My goal is for 40%-45%.
I have 3 digital hygrometers that all show the humidity around 30%-35%.
I even got a 2nd whole house console style humidifier yesterday that I've been running in conjunction with the furnace humidifier and so far still haven't seen a difference.
The house is about 7 years old, and as far as I can tell, sealed pretty tight.
The furnace runs about 6 1/2 hours a day to maintain the temperature at about 68-70 degrees but the fan runs 24/7.
What can I do to raise the humidity to proper levels?
Thank you.
