Indoor air quality is a crucial aspect of maintaining a healthy and comfortable indoor living environment that is often overlooked. Among various factors contributing to indoor air quality, humidity plays a significant role. Humidity refers to the amount of moisture present in the air, and it affects not just your comfort, but your health. Let’s go over how low indoor humidity affects health and the benefits of using whole house humidifiers in Whitehall to maintain optimal humidity levels.
When you live where we do, then you’re all too familiar with the experience of dry air. The missing moisture from the air can cause a host of problems in your home, especially this time of the year, as the temperatures cool and you need to use your heater more and more. Use of your HVAC systems actually help dehumidify your living space, exacerbating the problem with dry air and subsequent poor indoor air quality.
If you haven’t already taken advantage of a whole-house humidifier installation, the best time is now, while our current humidity levels are relatively balanced.
Chances are, you’ve seen portable humidifiers in drug stores, and you may even have one in your own home to help alleviate cold symptoms or allergy symptoms. But the whole-house humidifier tackles the root of the dry air problem.
