Guaranteeing comfort in the cold winter demands more than just a warm coat, gloves and a hat. In order to keep comfortable, we have to be conscious of one of the most ignored aspects of cooler weather: dry air. The frosty weather sucks all the humidity out of the air, bringing many problems for your family and home. Dry air adds the risk of everything from disease to even shocks from static. All these possible problems can be counteracted with the use of a humidifier.
Why does the air dry out? What can you do about it?
When temperatures decrease, the makeup and formation of the air itself alters. The chilly air has less moisture than summer air, which is why lips and skin can get chapped and dry much easier in the chilly season. Our bodies aren’t the only items that dry during the chilly season – wood floors, furniture and paint in and about our homes have a higher risk of breaking and chipping in the dry air.
The most efficient way to add moisture to your home is with humidification. Humidifiers offer whole-home air moisture and can give you back control of your home air. It is easy and painless to install to your existing HVAC system to begin the circulation and dispersal of dependable air.
