temp problems...gonna need help soon

[AdReNaLiN jUnKeE]

well i know alot of people have troubles with temps too high in their humi... i on the other hand cannot keep my temp high enough! my house gets very cold at night now *damn new england* and my temp has been hovering between 60-65 at most. this is also dragging my humidity levels down towards the 62% level.... clearly i need to do something about this but im not sure what. any help is GREATLY appreciated!

maybe a small table lamp nearish the humi? i'm not saying this works, just thinking out loud so to speak

That's what level my humi's are at temperature-wise - they're in the basement spring/summer/fall, so it is always cold.

Once winter really comes, I'll move the humi's to a vacant closet and hang a light bulb inside (the closet, not the humi!). What you want to avoid is the daily up/down temperature fluctuations inside the humi (which usually implies that you need to switch to a really expensive thick real-wood humi., or control the environment around the humi. better). My house is old and drafty (and is getting close to being condemned). Putting the humi's inside coolers helps control the environment too.

im pretty sure mine isnt that expensive but i tend to get fluctuations in the temps throughout the day... i figured this was normal... ya im gonna put the humi near a light source or soemthing and hope this heats it up a bit... because my humidity levels are way too low right now

[jam]

do you have beads in there and try a oust fan to move the air around

[AdReNaLiN jUnKeE]

ya i have 70% beads in there... id get one of thsoe fans but i dont even think that there is room in there for it now after the beatdown i took today hahaha

[foolwithnohair]

Cooler-dor time! :leph:

Anyhow, 62% RH isn't low enough to cause any problems, IMHO.

It better to be cold than hot... my humi is around 72*... I can't wait for winter...

[iloveclmore]

^ True. Better cold than hot. As long as its above 60 or so you should be perfectly fine. It just might be a little more difficult keeping the RH up.

The temp in my Wine Cooler was 62 all Summer long and I never had a problem but I keep my RH rock solid with 1 1/2 lbs of beads!!!

[AdReNaLiN jUnKeE]

hahaha im hopin so... im gonna put it near a light source and jsut hope that it warms up a little so i can get the rh up

Honest 65 Deg will not hurt your cigars at all, the only problem i have in the winter is keeping my RH around 63-65 it drops like crazy in the cold winters here in Norther WV....
