In the cooler seasons, your home heating system will warm the air - but it can't add humidity to the drier air it creates during warming.
Over-dry air can result in a multitude of problems for both a home and its occupants. These include:
- Dry nose, cracked, itchy skin, sore throats.
- Aggravated allergy and asthma symptoms.
- Painful static-electricity shocks.
- Chipped paint and plaster.
- Split or cracked wood floors, furniture, trim, and molding.
According to medical experts, many viruses thrive in low humidity - increasing the likelihood of catching colds, flu, and upper respiratory ailments. Fortunately, all these issues can be greatly reduced by having us install a whole house humidifier, which will deliver the ideal amount of moisture into your indoor air.
Besides a better life for you, your home and your belongings, humidification also provides another benefit: humidified air makes you feel more comfortable at lower thermostat settings - and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says that you can save up to 4% on your heating bill for every degree you lower your thermostat!
