Dry air and stale bedrooms were the complaint. We stacked only the equipment that addressed that.
Winter humidity sat near 20%. The kids woke congested and the piano was losing glue. Portable humidifiers were fogging one bedroom and ignoring the rest of the house.
We added a bypass humidifier on the supply, a 4-inch media cabinet, and an HRV balanced to the home so they could have fresh air without opening windows at −20°C.
They now hold about 35% RH without soaking the windows, and the furnace is not blowing unfiltered dust every cycle.
A tight house with no fresh-air path and a 1-inch filter slot.
Whole-home humidity and filtration without a pile of portable gadgets.
