What should be monitored to ensure the effectiveness of a humidifier during the heating season?

Temperature levels
Airflow rates
Humidity levels
Pressure differentials

The correct answer is: Humidity levels

Monitoring humidity levels is essential to ensure the effectiveness of a humidifier during the heating season. Heating systems tend to lower the relative humidity in indoor environments, which can lead to discomfort and potential health issues, as well as damage to wooden furniture and structures. By keeping track of humidity levels, you can assess whether the humidifier is maintaining the desired humidity range. A proper range is typically between 30% and 50% relative humidity, which helps to optimize comfort and indoor air quality. If the humidity levels fall below this range, it may indicate that the humidifier is not functioning effectively or that it cannot compensate for the drying effects of the heating system. Regular monitoring allows for adjustments to be made, ensuring that the humidifier operates efficiently and the indoor environment remains comfortable and healthy.
