It’s not the heat, it’s the almost nonexistent humidity. Humidity is something that people only look to mention during the months of heat, but lack of humidity in your home could be harmfully influencing your indoor air quality and your comfort. As much time as we spend in our home, specifically when it’s cold outside, a whole-home humidifier could really improve your comfort along with your health.
Staying Healthy
Having the correct humidity levels in your home can help prevent the spread of infection. Air lacking in humidity dries out the mucus membranes within your sinuses, which filter out bacteria. Dry air also increases the likelihood of colds and flus in the winter time. Furthermore, bacteria and viruses have a harder time moving in moist air. Maintaining your home at ideal humidity could help you carry on 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 problem. Moisture in the air lets static charges to depart items because water conducts electricity; with no water in the air the charge has nowhere to go, and someone is sure 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 seems warmer than it actually is, humidity in the winter will truly make you feel cozier.
