Whole House Humidifiers
Installing a whole house humidifier is one of the best ways to feel comfortable in your home while preventing health problems. Air that is too dry can cause or exacerbate numerous health conditions, and for many Minnesota homeowners, stationing a few humidifiers around the house just isn’t enough to have humidity control. Homeowners who are tired of feeling sick or uncomfortable in their own homes should call Blue Ox Heating & Air for a whole home humidifier installation. Whole home humidifiers use your existing duct system to deliver soothing, moist air to every room. This can save you money, discomfort, and even health problems.
CONTROLLING THE HUMIDITY IN YOUR HOME
Maintaining a comfortable level of humidity in the home can be a challenge. During winter months, indoor heating reduces the relative humidity of already dry air, which can make spending time indoors particularly unpleasant. Whole home humidifiers work to bring you perfect humidity in the winter to make you feel better and protect the wood in your home.
Many people don’t realize that dry air makes your home less comfortable. Dryness makes you perceive the air as being colder than it is, leading you to raise the temperature on your thermostat which leads to higher heating bills. Dry air can also cause the following:
- Skin dryness and irritation
- Respiratory health problems
- Nose bleeds
- Static electricity and frequent shocks
- Cracks in drywall
- Gaps in wood walls or flooring
- Mold
In other words, dry air can be damaging to parts of your home, as well as, your health. A whole home humidifier can help you protect your floors and walls, increase your comfort, and even reduce allergy symptoms.
WILL A WHOLE HOME HUMIDIFIER HELP CONTROL SEASONAL ALLERGIES?
Humidifiers help people who suffer from allergies or asthma breathe more easily. Dry air can irritate your throat and lungs and worsen allergy symptoms like sore throats and coughs. Humidifiers help relieve these symptoms and decrease the likelihood of a sinus infection developing.
