Hello,
we have a nice living room with a fireplace, but when we heat the room, the air becomes very dry. You can tell by the dry nose, which I find quite uncomfortable. What can be done to increase the humidity in the air?

So, we bought a humidifier.
At first, we placed a bowl of water by the fireplace… that worked too, but not as well as the humidifier.
I can definitely recommend it… it makes the room pleasantly "moist."

Really? What exactly happens there?
The dust in the air becomes damp and settles on the floor. After that, we can breathe perfectly well.
Yes! That’s all that happens!

Because people ONLY need DRY air to breathe!!!!!!!

Hello everyone,
I can also recommend a well. I do have a fireplace, but I mainly heat with a combined heat and power unit. So far, I am very satisfied with it.
Have a great weekend!

Hello Dämmunsinn,

What do you mean by that? Satire, perhaps?

There are physiological requirements for the humidity level of indoor air; our mucous membranes need around 50% humidity (at 22°C (72°F) room temperature) to function properly.
When indoor humidity drops to 35–40%, using a humidifier is recommended.
It is important to keep the dust level in the rooms low because dusty air feels dry to our mucous membranes.

@Dämmunsinn: You want dry air? Ideally with 0% humidity or what?

Yes, dry air is annoying, but we always try using humidifiers on the radiator or placing damp cloths around.

And a fountain doesn’t necessarily have to be running all the time... 🙂
