Voicing question

Yes, Damper Chasers affect the RH in the room, and in fact the home.  I have always tried to
convince piano owners to put a room humidifer on the same level of the house as the piano is
located.  Or if they will afford it, install an automatic humidifier like "April Air" on their
furnace.  The RH is directly influenced by the amount of water being added to the air in the
home.  Damper Chasers might put a gallon or so in the air over a couple of days.  Room
humidifiers can put 4-6 gallons in a home in a day (I know, I bought the biggest one Bionaire
makes!)  Then I installed an "April Air" humidifier on our furnace.  Just after it was installed,
I turned the control knob all the way up on a cold November day.  In a 5000 sq foot home, the RH
went from 28% to over 65%.  All the family members complained to the point I had to turn the
control dial back down.  Never did see just how high the RH could get with this furnace system.
