It’s not the heat, it’s the absence of humidity. Humidity is something that people only appear to mention during the summer, but lack of humidity in your home could be negatively altering your indoor air quality and how you feel. As much time as we devote in our home, especially when it’s in the colder months, a whole-home humidifier could significantly upgrade your comfort along with 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 in your sinuses, which clean out bacteria. Dry air also increases the prevalence of colds and flus in the winter time. In addition, bacteria and viruses have a harder time moving in moist air. Maintaining your home at ideal humidity could help you keep on feeling well during the coming season.
Ease Static Electricity
Is your hair standing on end? Have you been alarming your family and pets? Catching your sweater crunch as you put it on? You may have a humidity dilemma. Moisture in the air lets static charges to leave things in the room because water conducts electricity; with no water in the air the charge has nowhere to go, and someone is going to get shocked.
Increased Comfort
Whole-home humidifiers allow your home feel warmer during the winter months. Just like a humid day in the summer might feel warmer than it actually is, humidity in the winter will actually make you feel warmer. Not only will the appropriate humidity level keep you at ease, it could also help save you money. If you feel warmer you won’t have to hike up your thermostat to stay warm.
