Get the Hook Up: Whole-House Humidifier Makes Winter Days/Nights Better < Return
Thinking about adding a whole-house humidifier to your home? Do you experience sore throats and colds in the winter? Does the dry air seem to irritate your respiratory system? Do your kids experience frequent headaches and have trouble staying asleep during the winter months? A whole-home humidifier will alleviate these issues.Dry air is damaging to the skin, lung, nose and eyes. It can cause dehydration, exacerbate sinus problems, and irritate throats and eyes. While you sleep at night, these issues will increase, due to the dry air that circulates while you rest in one position.
A whole-house humidifier can improve these issues by adding moisture to the air in a space. The system is connects to your furnace. Then, as the furnace releases warmed air throughout your home, the humidifier releases moisture along with it, making every room in the home less dry.
Energy savings is an additional benefit of using a whole-house humidifier. Colder air cannot hold moisture as well as warm air; that's why warmer air is naturally more humid. By adding moisture to your home's air, you'll feel warmer even when you set your home's temperature lower. As a result, you will use less heat, because the moisture helps keep the home at a more even temperature, allowing the heating system to consume less energy and improving energy usage.
Installing a whole-house humidifier is a sound decision, and one that will also add value to your home and improve quality of life. It is an investment for your family, your home and the environment. Get the hook up. For more information, contact Simpson Air today!
