In the winter months your furnace
keeps you warm but it also dries out the air. In fact, your
indoor air can easily be less that 20% relative humidity – this
is drier than most deserts!. In order to be more comfortable,
you need to add moisture to the air. This helps eliminate
dry skin and throat, static shocks, and helps keeps your furniture
and home from drying out. Plus, with more moisture in the air,
you can keep your thermostat several degrees lower helping you
save on your energy bill!
Whole house humidifiers
are much more effective than stand-alone humidifiers which only
work in the room where they are placed. Stand alone humidifiers
also use more energy.
