Did you know that the humidity level in your home directly impacts your health and comfort? Low humidity isn’t just about dry skin or static-filled sweaters—it creates the perfect environment for bacteria and viruses to thrive. If your home’s air is too dry, your family could face increased risks of illness and discomfort.
When indoor humidity levels drop below 30%, the air becomes drier than a desert. This dryness impacts your body and your home. Bacteria, as well as viruses like the flu, thrive in low-humidity environments, spreading more easily from person to person. Additionally, dry air can weaken your respiratory system, making you more susceptible to infections.
Low humidity also affects your home. Wood furniture and flooring can crack, paint may peel, and static electricity builds up, creating small nuisances that add up over time.
Installing a whole-home humidifier is one of the best ways to combat low humidity. These systems work with your HVAC to maintain ideal humidity levels, typically between 30–50%.
Some of the key benefits include:
- 1. Healthier Air: A whole-home humidifier reduces the survival rate of bacteria and viruses, helping to protect your family from colds, flu, and respiratory issues.
- 2. Comfort: Say goodbye to dry skin, itchy eyes, and scratchy throats. Proper humidity makes your home more comfortable for everyone.
- 3. Protection for Your Home: Keep your hardwood floors, furniture, and paint intact by maintaining balanced humidity levels.
- 4. Energy Savings: Moist air feels warmer, allowing you to lower your thermostat without sacrificing comfort, which could save on energy bills.
