In the colder months, humidity levels can plunge to uncomfortably low levels and cause all kinds of complications with your health and in your home. Here are a few of the most common ill effects of low humidity levels in your home:
- Respiratory ailments.
- Skin irritation.
- Static electricity.
- Furniture and floor damage.
Whole-House Humidifier Features
At Cranney Home Services, we have seen a huge spike in the popularity of whole-house humidifiers in recent years. These high-tech systems can regulate the indoor moisture levels of your home and unlike the small, portable humidifiers most of us are familiar with, whole-house models can be installed directly into your existing HVAC system. Once installed, whole-house humidifiers distribute humidity and moisture in the form of water vapor throughout the living areas of your home. Then you can use a thermostat to easily monitor and adjust not only your indoor temperature but the humidity levels as well.
Whole-House Humidifier Benefits
- Health: Viruses (like the FLU!) thrive in low-humidity environments. That means that without enough moisture and humidity in your home, you are risking exposure to viruses like the flu, colds, and other respiratory ailments. Low-humidity environments also make people more susceptible to infections that their immune systems might otherwise have had no trouble with. Injecting some humidity into your home’s indoor air can go a long way to protecting you and your family from illness.
- Lower energy bills:Â Â You can set the regulator on your whole-house humidifier and it will automatically adjust for ideal moisture levels. This allows you to maximize comfort at lower temperatures and save money on utility bills.
- Comfort: Low humidity levels can cause uncomfortably dry nasal passages, sore throats, and cracked, itchy skin.
- Ease seasonal allergy symptoms:Â Â Whole-house humidifiers are a healthy choice, particularly for those suffering from allergies or asthma. Moisture eases nagging symptoms brought on from dry air.
- Home Preservation:Â Dry, moisture-free air can cause severe damage to many household items, such as wood floors, plaster, paint, furniture, artwork, electronics and musical instruments. Supplying your house with the proper amount of humidity can protect your home and its contents from the adverse effects of dry air.
With all the abundant advantages of owning a whole-house humidifier, it seems only natural that every home should have one installed. Humidifiers provide an affordable way to promote comfort and good health amongst your home’s occupants.
