Humidifiers

The amount of humidity in the air greatly affects our feeling of comfort in our homes. Too little humidity can cause our skin to crack and our respiratory systems dry out, inviting infections.

Just as higher humidity makes you feel warmer in summer even if the temperature is lower, so does higher humidity make us feel warmer in our homes in winter at a lower temperature. Therefore, providing humidity to your home can increase your comfort, while allowing you to lower the temperature on your thermostat, saving energy.

For instance, if your house is 72 degrees in winter, but the humidity is only 20%, the air actually feels like it is only 67 degrees, as shown in the chart below.

Humidity also reduces static shocks and keeps furniture and your home from drying out.

A ductwork mounted humidifier provides the most even humidity for your home. The system works by absorbing water into a water panel in the air stream, which evaporates and flows through the home.

The new, antimicrobial humidifiers prevent the growth of bacteria, molds, and algae. Wouldn’t you love to enjoy the warmth and comfort of a new humidifier today?

WARNING: If your house has mold or moisture problems, using a humidifier can worsen those problems and is NOT recommended!
