Humidifiers

 Dry air in your home can make your throat feel dry, and cause or aggravate respiratory ailments. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recommends a home humidity level between 30-60%. During extremely cold weather, your home loses humidity to the outdoors and may drop to as low as 10%.

A humidifier adds moisture to your indoor air, and can help relieve ailments related to dry respiratory membranes. In addition, dry air can cause other problems. Static electricity is a direct result of very dry air. Houseplants can suffer from the “winter drought” caused by low humidity levels. A humidifier can be installed in your ductwork, right beside your furnace. All you need to do is select the desired amount of humidity and enjoy the moist air that circulates through your home this winter.

Did You Know??

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the air inside the average home is as much as 100 times more polluted than the air outside? Up to 90% of our time is spent indoors and much of that time is spent at home. Knowing what causes poor indoor air quality and how to detect the problem is the first step to cleaner air and a healthier environment.
