Humidification is the process of adding moisture to the air to increase humidity. Many people associate humidity with the discomfort of hot, steamy summer days. And it’s true that too much humidity causes problems. Yet when properly balanced, humidity offers many proven benefits to your health, home, and comfort.
AprilAire offers the best humidifiers to add the proper amount of humidity in your home in order to prevent problems caused by dry air.
Low humidity can increase your likelihood of getting colds, flu, and other upper respiratory ailments. Airborne viruses that cause colds and flu thrive in low humidity. And, according to The American Society of Otolaryngology, dry air can make people more susceptible to infection. In addition, drier air can aggravate allergy and asthma symptoms.
Low humidity can cause home damage. It causes walls, woodwork, and your beautiful hardwood floors to crack. Electronics can fall victim to static electric charges, requiring expensive repair or replacement.
Low humidity can cause higher energy costs. Low humidity can make you feel too cold at normal temperatures leading you to turn up the thermostat. This leads to higher energy bills.
