| Jan 25, 2016 at 14:46 | comment | added | Sterno | Maybe I'll decide buying a humidifier is the best option. But before I spend the money for multiple rooms in my house, I want to hear about alternatives. That's the point of this site, right... learning alternative solutions to problems? | |
| Jan 25, 2016 at 14:31 | comment | added | Jay | Why do you not want to buy a humidifier? I see several answers suggesting using a tea kettle or a rice cooker to boil water. Yes, this works, but it's way more expensive than buying a humidifier. Putting a bucket of water on a radiator or heating duct works and is cheap but isn't very effective. | |
| Jan 25, 2016 at 7:19 | comment | added | user12027 | @DavidRicherby It's not a humidifier, it's a plastic bucket that holds water and exploits your already existing vents to help it evaporate faster. It doesn't plug into the wall. Upvoted answers in here including buying pots and plastic buckets to hold water to let it evaporate into the air. A wooden box car is a car, my Mazda is a car, only one is an automobile. | |

| Jan 25, 2016 at 4:17 | comment | added | user12027 | Crap, this Q is protected so I can't post an answer. I had the same issue as you, so I went out and bought 4 or 5 of these. s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/homedepotcanada/p_1000669780.jpg - They come with a silver laced wick but once they run out, you can just chuck them and they work exactly the same. Just need to keep the water topped up. | |

| Jan 23, 2016 at 13:08 | comment | added | Roland | You should consider putting some better thermal insulation on your house. And in many rooms (kitchen, bedroom, ...) the temperature doesn't need to be above 18 °C. Both tips save money in the long run (depending on energy prices). | |
