Or it will restrict the air volume, causing the heat exchanger over-temp switch to cut off the burner.

I'd guess there is a wire to move, under the cover plate. To make it 220 VAC.
Yeah, well this guy thinks humid cold air feels warmer than dry cold air, so he's clearly not all there.
Of course FTR this means what I said about the resistance and impedance not changing isn't likely true, if another winding is added to the circuit or if the wires are rearranged.
But I think by now everyone has said it won't help to change the voltage.
Well, bozo, you never said that before.
In fact you said something contradictory and it is still up there: "I am always MUCH hotter in humid conditions than in dry even when the temperature is exactly the same."
"Always". "Hotter".
When you make up your mind how humid conditions make you feel, post back.
You're a dumbbell.
No, it woudln't. Less than a gallon per day, which takes about 4 hours, is plenty. A half gallon is enough to feel much warmer, but I have used more to be sure I would be comfortable when I got up the next morening. I havent' done this for more than two days in a row, but I asked the OP how long he was trying to stay warm. I don't think he's answered that.
When he has water running down the windows or walls, he should stop. I've never had that. Have you? I think you believe you will, but it's on faith. I've had a little bit of condensation on cold windows, but I get that when the furnace is running too, probably especially when the humidifier is running.
You seem to think your experience applies everywhere at all times.
You seem to hold these beliefs about humidity with the same strength others hold religious beliefs. I wonder why.
Learn to read, moron. I said, "I find exactly the opposite. I am always MUCH hotter in humid summer conditions than in dry even when the temperature is exactly the same. The same holds true in the winter. On a dry day 15 degrees isn't so bad but on a wet/humid day it's torture. Adding moisture to the air is not something I would ever do to "feel warmer"." So...obviously "the same holds true in winter" means exactly what I said. On a dry, cold day it's tolerable, but a cold humid day is torture. Humidity intensifies the temperature. If it's hot, humidity makes it feel hotter. If it's cold, humidity makes it feel colder. Get it now? Geez.
Sorry I should have been more specific..I was refering to poster who was telling him to cover his stove with pots of boiling water and filling the tub or running the shower ...Not aimed at you...
BUT - to a POINT he is right. If the relative humidity in a house is TOO low, it feels cold. 35% is about minimum for comfort - but in cold weather too much higher causes condensation problems on cold surfaces like windows/
r. I heat my house to 50F and I keep it dry as a bone. If I used a humid= ifier I'd be too cold.
