Hello dear community,
A few months ago, we moved into a newly built wooden house (prefabricated house) from 2017, equipped with a comfort climate heating system.
After developing dry skin, my husband bought a humidity meter.
It consistently shows an average humidity level of around 25%.
We have already tried several things: humidifiers, airing out the rooms, drying laundry indoors, leaving doors open while showering/bathing, placing plants...
Unfortunately, none of these measures have been very effective. I don’t want to keep drying laundry in the living areas all the time, and I’m not completely satisfied with the humidifiers.
Is this normal in wooden houses?
Does anyone have experience with this?
I appreciate every reply!
Thank you and best regards,
Minuk

You don’t have a wooden house; you have a timber frame structure built using prefabricated construction – by the way, with a 5-year warranty according to the building code.
Comfort climate heating: is that a Schwörer house? Yes, exactly, that is the correct term.
The 5 years warranty is correct as well.
No, it is a Bien-Zenker house.
Best regards

We had the same issue during winter. Cold outdoor air becomes warm, extremely dry air indoors. I can recommend the Venta air washer. It’s not cheap, but it helped a lot. And supposedly, there are no hygiene concerns with this device. Did you only have one that you moved from room to room? The one we bought is also from Venta and is called the V. Air Washer LK14. It doesn’t make much difference in our large rooms. Even in the bedroom or office, which are smaller spaces, I had hoped for better results.
Best regards

At the moment, the outdoor air is also extremely dry. Ventilation (manual or mechanical) naturally brings this air into the house. This is completely normal. With a controlled mechanical ventilation system, this effect is even stronger because you have a constant exchange of air. Does this mean that everyone with a comfort climate heating system probably has air that is too dry?

I’m not sure if the air circulated all the way upstairs. But it did improve the situation in the bedroom as well.
