I think that the air purifier will cancel out the work done by the humidifier. My boyfriend disagrees. Any thoughts?

Being that cold outside, my skin is excessively dry and a humidifier is a must. At the same time, I am allergist to dust - and being enclosed due to the cold weather, an air purifier is also a must. I am sure my electric company loves me...

your bf is right the purifier will make any air that go through the humidifier clean it wont cancel out the humidifier......if any thing youll be breathing better air than most of us. Have no worries when it comes to that but there might be an attachment that you can put on your humidifier to purify it at the same time. you may wanna look in to that. if this hasnt helped im sorry, but if it has im glad.

Humidifier adds water vapour to the air. If not cleaned properly and often, will also spew allergens into air in convenient water-droplet carrying form.
Air purifier attracts particles via ionization, captures and binds and neutralizes them.
One won't cancel out the other per se, but one will not enhance the other either.
Do you need the air cleaned or hydrated? If you need both, then hey, it's your electric bill.

Not sure, but you should also try one of those oil-based radiating heaters. Try to use your regular ac heat. Those have helped me a ton because they don't pump dry air out into the house, then just warm up existing air. They use a lot of electricity but they really help me with winter stuffy nose!

i also have your problem
so use an air purifier: your lungs are more important than your skin

They aren't cancelling each other out, one removes particulate matter, the other provides water. So yes, it is effective.
