January 24th, 2011

My 10 week old has a little cough and some congestion. The pediatrician is not worried, but I would like to provide some relief to my child. I would like to add some eucalyptus oil to our Vicks Warm Air humidifier. Our model has a liquid medicine chamber just for this purpose. How many drops of oil should I add per night and do I need to mix the drops with another substance like olive oil? Are there other essential oils that are beneficial to babies to encourage relaxation during sleep?

Cool Mist Air Humidifier making my room COLD?

January 15th, 2011

I recently got a Cool Mist Air Humidifier, maybe less than2 weeks ago,and my room has usually been at 65/66/67 for personal preference (I sleep really well if it is cold and my lizards don’t mind it and I don’t myself) but the Cool Mist is bringing my room down in temperature a lot. Currently my room is 61 degrees and it is 24 degrees outside – Winter. What do you suggest I do? It does help me breathe when sleeping. Thanks!

Air Purifier or humidifier ?

December 29th, 2010

i have terrible allergies and i am always sick. i was thinking about getting an air purifier or a humidifier but im not sure which would be best for me. i have a lot of major electronics in my room and im not sure if the humidifier would interfere with them. also, if i get an air purifier i would like it to be one that you clean the filter because i cant afford to keep buying replacements. does it sacrifice quality to get one with a re-usable filter??

which one would you recommend?
have any other suggestions on what else i could do??

What is the point of cool-air humidifiers?

November 25th, 2010

Humidifiers are primarily used during the dry season; which could also be considered the cold season. So, it makes sense for there to be hot-air humidifiers but where do cold-air models fit in? You still need to keep your room warm, but with some heating options like hot air heat it seems like it would cancel out any benefit of having a cold-air humidifier, since it would have to be on high constantly just to compensate for the heating. I’ve heard many people say it’s good to keep your room cool even when you have a cold/sore throat but I don’t understand how this could be better than the healing benefits of hot steam air or even a sauna. What are the benefits of a cold room? It’s 75 in my room right now and I’m still cold because this evaporative cold-air humidifier is pumping out cold air. I’m thinking I’ll trade it in for a Vick’s vapor rub humidifier. What’s the correct answer here?

Thanks for any help.

How to stop Humidifier Display from Flashing?

October 31st, 2010

Just installed an Flow Though AIR KING 6000 Humidifier with an electronic display. The display keeps flashing the original factory settings. When I adjust the temp it resets and continures flashing. If I adjust it past the relitive humidity point, it turns the relay on for a split second and resets and continues flashing. Can’t seem to get this thing working.

The air in my house is really dry, what brand humidifier should I get?

October 31st, 2010

I swear I go through humidifiers like crazy! All the ones I get just seem to kind of spray a mist into the air in the area of the humidifier but the overall moisture in the room never gets better. The past 3 that Ive had (and they werent cheep!) i put right next to my bed….. it misted water into the air and soaked my nightstand and side of my bed…and even though it was less than a foot away from my head, I still find myself waking up stuffy and dry.

Sometimes I boil a pot of water on the stove and the steam seems to really help the air in my kitchen/dining room….but I obviously cant keep a pot of boiling water on the stove all night (and its not realistic for adding moisture to the bedrooms..)..

What brand humidifier can you reccomend for me? I dont have a tun of money to spend but I’m willing to pay for something that works really well.
Not looking for an air purifyer or filter..just something to add moister into the room.
I do have a honeywell air filter that I love.

Do I turn the Humidifier with the air conditioner?

October 1st, 2010

Thanks for responding. When I had a home inspection of the home the previous owner had the humidifier on and the inspector said that was dangerous because the Humidifier squirks water into the system and it wasn’t suppose to be on. That means the home inspector had no idea what he was talking about. So do I need this with the airconditioner and also where can i find those big yucca plants I live in baltimore

Should I use a humidifier in South Florida?

May 20th, 2010

We have had a couple of cold fronts blow in this week and my son’s voice has been a little hoarse, he has had a slightly stuffy nose, breathing heavier at night and has been generally cranky. He is 7 months old. I am not sure if it is allergens in the air or that the air is drier than normal. I don’t think the symptoms are severe enough to be a cold. Should I use a humidifier or do you have any other suggestions? Thanks!
