Winters in Maryland are cold and dry, that’s for sure! And while heating your home can help with comfort levels temperature-wise, it can also draw the moisture out of your home’s air.
When your home’s air is dry, it can actually make your home feel colder than it is, making you turn your thermostat up higher just to feel warm. It can also affect your health, causing things like cracked lips, scratchy and dry throats, and more!
Improving Your Family’s Comfort & Health at Home
Moisture levels are tricky. Too much moisture, and your home will feel like a humid swamp; too little, and your skin, hair, throat, and nasal passages can feel dry and uncomfortable!
As indoor air quality experts, one of the best solutions our team at GAC Services has found for increasing comfort and health in Maryland homes during the winter is installing a whole-home humidifier.
By installing a whole-home humidifier, Maryland homeowners can experience improved:
- Health: Viruses often thrive in spaces with low humidity. A humidifier can decrease your chances of catching the flu or colds through the spread of these viruses in your home.
- Efficiency: A humidifier can help you feel warmer without turning up the heat, which can increase energy efficiency in your home.
- Comfort: Dry air can cause your throat to be sore and your nose to be dry. You can avoid irritating symptoms of allergies by installing a humidifier.
- Preservation: Dry air can cause damages to your floors or furniture. Humidifiers moisten the air, helping to prevent these issues.
Whole-House Humidifier Installation in Maryland Homes
Whole house humidifiers are connected to your home’s water lines, so they don’t need constant refilling like a portable humidifier does. They will also work through your whole home rather than just room by room.
After temperature, humidity is the most important factor in determining your home’s comfort levels. That’s why people feel much warmer and more comfortable in homes that use a whole-house humidifier!
