Has anyone ever noticed the slew of posts concerning GAPS during these winter months .... How come noone (especially in our dryer climates) has guided anyone to a humidifier on thier HVAC system .... Dry forced air coming from a heater is bad news on wide plank floors. The calls I get between Halloween and Easter are regularly GAP related. A few have called back the following winter to say thanks and that the humidifier showed vast improvement.

Any thoughts????

Hi Will,
I tell my customers ALL THE TIME! No one listens! Then they call about small cracks or gaps in the floors and I get to re-educate them all over again. No one hear in CA. uses humidifiers so RH is all over the place. I set my humidistat up prior to starting a job and I gets Highs of 70+ and lows of 30-. And the clients swear their not messing with the HVAC! Yeah, right! Thats why it's 56 deg. in the morning when I come to get started. Customers, ya' gotta love 'em.
