Humidifiers - Trane - Aprilaire - Honeywell
The air inside your home is drier than you think. The average North American home can be up to four times below recommended indoor relative humidity levels.
When the home heating season arrives, it can be accompanied by a variety of indoor problems caused specifically by low relative humidity in your home. The resulting dry air absorbs moisture from you and everything inside your home.
Humidity Problems:
Discomfort: Dry noses, scratchy throats, itchy skin, static shock. All familiar ailments caused by dry air.
Threatens Health: According to medical experts, many viruses thrive in low humidity and can increase the likelihood of getting colds, flue and upper respiratory ailments. It is important to prevent an overly dry environment because it makes people more susceptible to infection.
Damage to your Home: When heated air is not humidified, it causes walls and ceilings to crack. Wood floors and trim to separate. Dry air shrinks the framing around doors and windows, resulting in gaps that let in cold air from outside, making your home less energy efficient. Expensive instruments and electronic equipment can fall victim to static electric charges, requiring pricey repairs or replacement.
Why you need humidifiers:
To effectively minimize the threatening problems associated with dry air, it is essential to treat your home with a whole-home humidifier.
"Increasing the humidity of your home helps eliminate the dry air that can irritate and inflame the respiratory passages in the nose and throat, and can relieve the discomforts of colds and the flu" - A.D.A.M Health Encyclopedia
Achieve the right balance: It is essential to achieve a delicate balance between too little and too much moisture in your home. Too little moisture results in static shock, dry skin and damaged furnishings. Yet, too much indoor moisture will cause condensation on windows, potentially leading to structural damage.
Healthier home environment: Helps protect against discomfort, illness and damage by eliminating parched, dry air throughout the entire home. Proper humidity can relieve the discomforts of colds and the flu.
Controls Humidity: Maintains proper humidity levels throughout the home by sensing changes in outdoor temperature and indoor relative humidity routinely.
