Making certain of comfort in the wintertime requires more than just a warm coat, gloves and a hat. In order to keep cozy, we have to be aware of one of the most overlooked aspects of colder weather: dry air. The frigid weather pulls all the humidity out of the air, causing many complications for your family and home. Dry air enhances the dangers of everything from disease to even shocks from static. All these hypothetical issues can be avoided with the use of a humidifier.
Why does the air dry out? What can you do about it?
When temperatures drop, the makeup and formation of the air itself alters. The cold air has less moisture than hot air, which is why lips and skin can get chapped and arid much more often in the winter. Our bodies aren’t the only items that dry during the chilly season – wood floors, furniture and paint in and around our homes have a larger 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 bring you back control of your home air. It is easy and painless to install to your existing HVAC system to start the circulation and distribution of dependable air.
