Whole House Humidifiers: Breathe Healthy Air

Winter air here in Pennsylvania is drier than the air we breathe the rest of the year. That decrease in humidity can make a big difference in the quality of air in our home – and in your quality of life as a result.

What Dry Air Does In The Home

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

• Greater health risks – Dry air makes asthma and other respiratory problems worse, 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 leads 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 increase the likelihood of static shock, which can damage delicate electronics.
• Lower energy efficiency – Dry air feels cooler, so you’ll need to raise your thermostat to feel warmer. Higher thermostat temperatures mean higher bills and more wear and tear on your heating equipment.
