Hello,
We have a great controlled residential ventilation system from Zehnder ComfoAir Q450 and are very satisfied with it. In winter, we set the ventilation rate to level 1 (reduced). Currently, the rooms have about 35% relative humidity. In the living room, especially with the use of the tile stove, it sometimes drops below 30%. What should we do?
We are considering installing a humidifier in the living room (just under 60m² (645 sq ft)).
Do you have any tips regarding this? Especially concerning generally low indoor humidity?
Best regards,
Barossi

The Zehnder is a bit quieter and very easy for a layperson to maintain. The replacement filters are also very affordable online.

Baumfachmann22 Jan 2018 01:05Yes, it is possible, but it always depends on the individual situation. The issue with humidity is a bit complicated. You have the option to retrofit the heat exchanger with a humidity recovery function if needed. Many of my clients have managed without it. In my current house, I also retrofitted it—I previously had 27% humidity.
