Question:
Why Do I Need a Humidifier When I Can Just Open My Window?
Answer:
Typically you need a humidifier the most when the weather outside is cold. When the weather outside is cold, the air is usually dry. Opening the window during dry, cold weather will reduce humidity levels inside the home or office and would be counter-productive. Keep the windows closed during cold weather and use a humidifier to keep humidity levels optimal.
