Turning your thermostat up in the winter can help to keep you warm, but at the same time, it can cause you great discomfort.
We have all experienced the side effects of a dry house. Dry and cracked skin, dry nose, sore throat and more. The dry air can also be an aggravation for allergy and asthma sufferers.
While tabletop humidifiers are available, the best solution is an automatic whole-house humidifier. These products sense the humidity in the home and add moisture directly to the air stream as needed. You can simply set it and forget it.
So what problems can you eliminate by installing a whole-home humidifier?
- Reduce the chance of upper respiratory problems.
- Help alleviate dry, itchy skin and dry nose and throat symptoms.
- Protect hardwood floors, valuable furniture, artwork and electronics from damage and potential cracking
- Allows you to feel warmer at lower thermostat settings, saving up to 4% on your heating bill for every degree you lower your thermostat, according to the EPA.
A whole-house humidifer requires almost no maintenance and keeps your home at the set humidity level with a one-time setup. The humidifier draws water from your plumbing system as needed, so you never have to fill it. Most whole-house humidifiers literally cost pennies per year to operate.
