Humidity is something that people only look to indicate during the warmer seasons, but lack of humidity in your home could be negatively influencing your indoor air quality and your ease. As much time as we fill in our home, particularly when it’s in the colder months, a whole-home humidifier could significantly enhance your comfort and also your health.
Staying Healthy
Having the proper humidity levels in your home can help stop the spread of infection. Air without humidity dries out the mucus membranes in your sinuses, which clean out bacteria. Dry air also increases the frequency of colds and flus in the winter time. Also, bacteria and viruses have a harder time moving in moist air. Setting your home at prime humidity could help you continue feeling well throughout the coming season.
Ease Static Electricity
Is your hair standing on end? Have you been alarming your family and pets? Listening to your sweater crackle as you put it on? You may have a humidity predicament. Moisture in the air permits static charges to leave items because water conducts electricity; with no water in the air the charge is stuck where it is, and someone is bound to get shocked.
Increased Comfort
Whole-home humidifiers help your home feel hotter during the winter months. Just like a humid day in the summer might feel warmer than it actually is, humidity in the winter will in fact make you feel cozier. Not only will the appropriate humidity level keep you content, it could also lower your monthly bills. If you feel comfortable you won’t have to crank up your thermostat to stay comfortable.
