How does humidity affect my comfort?
Since the air in your home is always trying to reach its saturation point, it will absorb water wherever it’s found. That means it is stealing moisture from the bodies of you and your children, your pets, your furniture and even your house plants. By giving up moisture to the air, your skin, throat and nasal passages dry out and crack, leading to various physical discomforts. That’s why many doctors recommend humidifiers for allergy and asthma sufferers. Research has shown that 30% — 60% relative humidity is ideal. Outside this range, bacteria, fungi, viruses and mites thrive and multiply. As these creatures increase in number, so does your risk of being adversely affected.
Dry nose? Itchy skin? Sore throats? Painful static shocks? If too dry of an environment is your problem, consider a humidifier. An Aprilaire whole-house humidifier can fix these problems!
Indoor humidity levels should ideally remain between 30% – 50%. When you increase the temperature during the wintertime, it dries out the air in your home. Daily activities, such as showering, cooking, and doing laundry don’t produce enough moisture to keep your home’s air from being too dry. A whole-house humidifier can be installed directly to your central furnace or air handler. Humidified air is then distributed via your heating and cooling system ductwork throughout your home.
A humidifier will deliver the perfect amount of moisture to your air making you feel more comfortable at a lower thermostat setting.
