If you’re already suffering from the cool, dry air, or you’re dreading the entire winter season because of it, consider how a whole-house humidification system can extend the benefits of increased humidity to every living space in your home.
Dry air leads to irritated nasal passages and problems with respiratory systems. It can also negatively impact wood products in your home, like furniture or flooring. Adding moisture to the air can alleviate these problems, and make your home a comfortable place to be throughout the season.
You may have tried a portable system in the past to improve the humidity level in your home. However, portable devices have limitations, including:
- Water tanks that need refilling daily, and perhaps more often, depending on how you much you use it.
- A restricted capacity to humidify the air, depending upon the size of the system you use.
Whole-house humidification systems are an ideal solution that avoid the limitations of portable units and allow you to benefit from increased humidity. Their benefits include:
- The ability to humidify the entire square footage of your home.
- Minimal maintenance, because the system works in combination with your HVAC equipment. It doesn’t require daily tank fillings, because the water supply is connected to your home’s main water system.
- Ease of use, because you can connect the controls to your home’s thermostat, and thermostats designed for use with home-comfort equipment will monitor your home’s humidity and automatically adjust the system’s output accordingly.
- Negligible noise levels. In fact, there is so little noise emitted that you might not be able to tell when it’s running, whereas portable units can be quite noisy.
- Convenience. Wherever you go in your home, the relative humidity will be at a comfortable level.
- Energy savings. When you add moisture to your home’s air, it allows you to lower your home’s overall temperature, because moist air feels warmer.
