It’s not the heat, it’s the lack of humidity. Humidity is something that people only seem to talk about during the warmer seasons, but lack of humidity in your home could be harmfully affecting your indoor air quality and how you feel. As much time as we fill in our home, especially when it’s wintertime, a whole-home humidifier could significantly enhance your comfort and your health.
Staying Healthy
Having the appropriate humidity levels in your home can help prevent the spread of infection. Air deficient in humidity dries out the mucus membranes inside your sinuses, which sift out bacteria. Dry air also intensifies the prevalence of colds and flus in the winter time. In addition, bacteria and viruses have a tougher time drifting in moist air. Maintaining your home at optimal humidity could help you carry on feeling well all through the coming season.
Ease Static Electricity
Is your hair standing on end? Have you been alarming your family and pets? Listening to your sweater crunch 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 can’t go anywhere, and someone is going to get shocked.
Increased Comfort
Whole-home humidifiers help your home feel more comfortable during the wintertime. Just like a humid day in the summer might feel warmer than it actually is, humidity in the winter will actually make you feel cozier. Not only will the right 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.
