Question:

My friend moved into a 4th floor apt. in Oct.05 and never had to turn her heat on all winter. She has had pneumonia and bronchitis 4 times, and lives with one cat. She has been getting lots of headaches, and her apartment is like an oven in this heat. She gets the sun all day long. She is a clean freak.She has radiators.

Answer:

Any medical supplies store will have a plug-in type humdifier that will give her more humidity than she'd ever need. Its also adjustable so she regulates it at her pleasure (and comfort).

In the interests of retaining credibility and in fairness to all, I cannot recommend prices, people nor companies for various projects.

Remember, even if you don’t do your own work around the house have to hire someone, you put yourself at a great advantage when you can intelligently discuss a project with the various trades people.
