Benefits of a Whole-Home Humidifier

Low humidity can cause a number of problems, from dry skin to furniture damage. Here are a few of the benefits of a whole-home humidifier:

• Alleviates Allergies and Improves Sleep: Your throat and sinus passage dry out in low-humidity environments. This causes irritation, swelling, and blockages. Humidifiers can help loosen mucus and relax your sinus, improving your breathing and sleep, as well as reducing snoring. 
• Combats Dry Skin: Winter months often come with dandruff as well as dry skin, lips, and eyes. Your skin may feel tight, and your lips split or cracked. Lotion and lip balm help, but the best way to fight the root of the problem is to introduce more humidity into the air. 
• Fights Viruses: Small viral droplets are suspended in the air for much longer in low humidity than in high. That is why the flu, colds, and other viruses spread over the winter cold months. By adding humidity back to the air, viral droplets attacy to moisture, become heavy, and drop to the ground faster. 
• Provides a Warmer Environment: Humid air holds more warmth, making your home feel warmer. Ceiling fans are also helpful for spreading heat around your home instead of the heat concentrating on particular objects. 

• Keeps Your Home Functional: Humidity helps maintain the quality of your floors, walls, and wood furniture. Excessive swelling and shrinking of wood from humidity can cause cracks, movement, bowing, and warping. Humidity helps prevent the wallpaper from cracking, and minimizes static electricity from building up and shocking you.
