It’s not the heat, it’s the lack of humidity. Humidity is something that people only look to talk about during the warmer seasons, but lack of humidity in your home could be destructively affecting your indoor air quality and how you feel. As much time as we devote in our home, specifically when it’s cold outside, a whole-home humidifier could really enhance your comfort and also your health.
Staying Healthy
Having the proper humidity levels in your home can help halt the spread of infection. Air without humidity dries out the mucus membranes within your sinuses, which clean out bacteria. Dry air also adds to the prevalence of colds and flus in the colder months. Also, bacteria and viruses have a harder time moving in moist air. Keeping your home at prime humidity could help you keep on feeling well throughout the coming season.
Ease Static Electricity
Is your hair standing on end? Have you been shocking your family and pets? Catching your sweater crackle as you put it on? You may have a humidity predicament. Moisture in the air permits static charges to depart objects because water conducts electricity; with no water in the air the charge has nowhere to go, and someone is bound to get shocked.
Increased Comfort
Whole-home humidifiers let your home feel more comfortable during the winter months. Just like a humid day in the summer seems warmer than it actually is, humidity in the winter will actually make you feel warmer. Not only will the right humidity level keep you at ease, it could also help save you money. If you feel comfortable you won’t have to increase your thermostat to stay cozy.
There are many more benefits to keeping your home appropriately humidified. Our whole-home humidity products will increase both your indoor air quality and your comfort. They could also help save you money in the process. We’d love to answer any inquires you may have about humidifiers or any other indoor air quality worries. Give us a call at 484-646-3363.
