What can happen if you have over-dry air in
your home?
Irritation and Discomfort
When you heat your home without a properly functioning humidifier,
it dries your home significantly. This can lead to dry and itch skin,
annoying static shocks, and being "too cold" at normal temperatures.
Unhealthy Air
Viruses thrive in low humidity conditions and can actually increase
the likelihood of getting colds, flus, and other upper respiratory
ailments. An overly dry an environment increases chances of infections.
Home Damage
Dry air can also hurt your home as well. It can cause cracks in
walls and ceilings and wood floors and cause trim to separate.
Higher Energy Costs
Dry air takes moisture from your skin which makes you feel colder.
If you humidify your air, you will feel warmer and more comfortable
at lower temperatures.
