Hello, If you're getting moisture on the inside of your windows while using your humidifier, you've got the setting too HIGH and you should turn it down at least 2 setting levels to begin with.
Whenever you're using a humidifier, the amount of moisture that it will put into your air will vary depending on how warm or cold the house is. Also, it will depend on whether you not you're using a wood stove to heat with too, as a wood stove will dry out the air faster than conventional heating devices (forced hot air furnance, electric baseboard, etc.).
A wole house humidifier also will vary depending on the outside air temperature changes, so you won't need as much humidification on mild days, as you will on very cold days such as when the outside temps are below freezing.
The good news is that you've discovered the simplest way, for most people, to determine whether to turn your humidifier UP or DOWN - If you're getting moisture on the inside of the home's windows, turn it down, if you're not, you can turn the humidifier up slightly until you just see moisture starting to form on any of your windows (typically this will occur in the colder rooms first), then just turn the setting down one setting level.
The great thing about having a whole house humidifier is that you can actually save on your heating costs, as the moist air makes you feel warmer and will provide you with a more comfortable home in the winter months.
I hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!
