It’s not the heat, it’s the lack of humidity. Humidity is something that people only appear to mention during the months of heat, but lack of humidity in your home could be negatively influencing your indoor air quality and your comfort. As much time as we spend in our home, especially when it’s wintertime, a whole-home humidifier could greatly enhance your comfort and also your health.
Staying Healthy
Having the correct humidity levels in your home can help stop the spread of infection. Air without humidity dries out the mucus membranes in your sinuses, which sift out bacteria. Dry air also increases the frequency of colds and flus in the winter season. In addition, bacteria and viruses have a tougher time moving in moist air. Setting your home at ideal humidity could help you carry on feeling well during the coming season.
Ease Static Electricity
Is your hair standing on end? Have you been shocking your family and pets? Hearing your sweater crunch as you put it on? You may have a humidity predicament. Moisture in the air allows static charges to ditch objects because water conducts electricity; with no water in the air the charge can’t go anywhere, and someone is bound to get shocked.
Increased Comfort
Whole-home humidifiers let your home feel warmer during the colder seasons. Just like a humid day in the summer feels warmer than it actually is, humidity in the winter will actually make you feel cozier. Not only will the appropriate humidity level keep you at ease, it could also decrease your spending. If you feel cozy you won’t have to hike up your thermostat to stay cozy.
There are many more benefits to keeping your home properly humidified. Our whole-home humidity products will increase both your indoor air quality and your comfort. They could also decrease your spending in the process. We’d love to respond to any questions you may have about humidifiers or any other indoor air quality apprehensions.
