Whole-House Humidifiers Keep Your Home Air Healthy

Winter air here in the northeast is considerably drier than the air we breathe in the summer, or even the fall. That decrease in humidity can make a big difference in the quality of air in our home – and in our quality of life.

What Dry Air Causes

Overly-dry indoor air can lead to a number of problems, including:

• Greater health risks – Dry air increases the incidence and severity of asthma symptoms and other respiratory problems while making your body more prone to infection. Many viruses also thrive in low-humidity environments – something to really keep an eye on this year.
• Discomfort – Over-dry air lead to dry noses, sore throats, and cracked, itchy skin.
• Property damage – Low humidity can dry out wood floors, plaster, paint, furniture, and artwork – not to mention causing damage to delicate electronics and musical instruments with static shock.
• Lower energy efficiency – Dry air feels cooler, so you’ll need to increase air temperature to feel warmer. That means more fuel burned by your heating system – and higher bills for you.
