I'm moving into a new construction home in Las Vegas, and I'm thinking about installing a whole home humidifier. Does anyone have experience with this? What maintenance should I expect? Also, are there any risks to my home, like water damage I should be aware of?

I have a whole home humidifier that I really like. It has a dial to adjust humidity based on the outdoor temperature, which is crucial. I made the mistake of setting it too high in winter, and my filter got moldy, which I had to replace. Overall, it massively helped with the dryness and kept my skin feeling better.
One of my father-in-law's friends claims his energy bills shot up about 50% with his system. Seems a bit extreme, but older folks tend to notice stuff like that. Just something to keep in mind as you weigh your options!
Yeah, adjusting it according to the weather is key! It can make a huge difference in your comfort.
