21% is VERY dry and that level makes your guitar very susceptible to cracking. Do yourself a big favor and buy a good humidifier for your whole house.

>Real large humidifiers are expensive as fuck.

We run two of these. Buy some 5 gallon jerry cans for water and fill them up at water stations. Take the time to check different water stations. There are ones where you can get 5 gallons for either $1.50, $1.75, or $1.00. You just gotta look.

get a large console humidifier and put it next to a return register, we did this for the first time a couple of years ago and it’s made a huge difference.

Yea, that Boneco is not going to cut it. That’s more for a small sized room.
The one I have is this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WAC9VKQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_S70A289412XQJGAGCWGX which is similar to the one that other guy posted. I had it running in a 1200 sqft condo and it has a 6 gallon capacity, which I had to refill nearly everyday to keep humidity around 45% in the winter.

actually nevermind. if I were to buy it again, I’d get this one instead

I do have a whole house humidifier (Aprilaire 600) but it is not tied to the thermostat. It is also the model without an external sensor. I use my large room humidifier instead most of the time (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WAC9VKQ) since I find the whole house humidifier dioesn’t really bring up the humidity all that much.
I manually adjust the humidity level on the air care unit depending on outside temperature.

Just like that other commentor suggested, I run an evaporative aircare. It’s supposed to work for a much larger home, but I use it for a 1,400sqft. I’m generally able to get close to 40% humidity with it running 24/7. It holds 6 gallons and I fill it once a day. My sink sprayer reaches over the edge enough to just let it fill, otherwise you’re gonna have a bad time.

Strong agree; it’s actually pretty crazy how fast/even humidity spreads. We live in a ranch house that’s pretty spread out and use 1 unit. Given, it’s a pretty big unit but it works fantastically.
Have had this one for 4 years. Still going strong, I just replace the filter once or twice a year and clean it once a week.

We’re on year 3 of owning and running this one all winter. I like it because we keep it in the kitchen (the entire house is humidified equally), roll it over to the sink and the detachable faucet reaches it, fills up nicely.
I’ll never invert a reservoir again!

I’ve had good luck with this Aircare. I have it running all the time in Colorado winters and it keeps up. Can go a few days without refilling, and keeps it right at 40%.

This is my go-to these days:
