Ensuring comfort in the colder season requires more than just a warm coat, gloves and a hat. In order to keep cozy, we have to be mindful of one of the most ignored aspects of colder weather: dry air. The freezing weather extracts all the humidity out of the air, instigating many difficulties for your family and home. Dry air adds the chances of everything from sickness to even shocks from static. All these potential issues can be counteracted with the use of a humidifier.
Why does the air dry out? What can you do about it?
When temperatures lower, the structure and formation of the air itself alters. The chilly air has less moisture than warm air, which is why lips and skin can get chapped and arid much easier in the chilly season. Our bodies aren’t the only items that dry during the colder months – wood floors, furniture and paint in and around our homes have a larger risk of cracking and chipping in the dry air.
The most efficient way to increase moisture to your home is with humidification. Humidifiers deliver whole-home air moisture and can give you back control of your home air. It is easy and painless to install to your current HVAC system to start the circulation and distribution of reliable air.
