Humidifiers
Humidification
The act of humidifying the air is a crucial, but often overlooked element of indoor comfort. This might be because humidity is commonly associated with the discomfort of hot, muggy summer days. While excessive humidity can indeed be problematic, when managed correctly, it offers a range of benefits for your well-being, home, and overall comfort.
How Can a Humidifier Benefit My Family and My Home?
Low humidity levels can have adverse effects on your health, home, and wallet. A lack of moisture in the air can make you more susceptible to colds, flu, and other respiratory issues. According to The American Society of Otolaryngology, dry air can also exacerbate allergies and asthma symptoms, as well as cause discomfort like dry eyes, itchy skin, and nosebleeds.
In terms of your home, low humidity can wreak havoc on its structural integrity. It can lead to cracking in walls, woodwork, and even your prized hardwood floors. Additionally, the static electricity generated by dry air can harm electronics, potentially leading to costly repairs or replacements.
Financially, low humidity can be a drain as it can make you feel colder than the actual temperature, prompting you to turn up the thermostat and, consequently, inflate your energy bills.
Why Choose a Whole-Home Humidifier?
Integrated directly into your home's central heating and cooling system, a whole-home humidifier ensures consistent comfort throughout your living space. While excessive humidity can be as problematic as insufficient levels, a whole-home system outperforms portable units by providing balanced humidity across all rooms. Unlike localized solutions that offer uneven coverage, a whole-home humidifier excels in accurately monitoring and maintaining the ideal humidity level for your entire residence.
