Benefits of a Whole Home Humidifier
Many people are familiar with single room humidifiers. Perhaps, your parents used them in your room when you were sick as a child. Humidifiers generally have significant health benefits. What could be better than a single room humidifier? A whole-home humidifier! Installing a whole-home humidifier goes the extra mile to make your family healthier and more comfortable, without breaking the bank.
Health Benefitsv
Dry air can cause a variety of respiratory and sinus issues as well as nosebleeds and allergies. On the other hand, humidified air can prevent health problems as well as offer a solution to dry skin, chapped lips, and snoring. Whole-home humidifiers deliver healthy air to every room through your ducts to ensure that every member of your family is receiving the healthy air their lungs and body need.
Minimal Effort
Having a whole home humidifier requires minimal effort. You don’t have to worry about turning it on and off because it works similar to your HVAC unit. The system automatically monitors the humidity in your home and adjusts accordingly to keep it level.
Required Maintenance
Single room humidifiers require tentative maintenance every month to reduce the risk of bacteria and mold acquiring in the machine. However, the maintenance for whole home humidifiers is relatively low–requiring cleaning only once or twice a year to remove mineral deposits from evaporated water.
Comfort
Installing a whole-home humidifier into your plumbing and furnace can help circulate warm air in your house. With winter being the peak time for dry air, whole-home humidifiers provide the air you need to be able to breathe comfortably. Because humidified air helps keep the air in your home heated, you can set your thermostat a couple of degrees lower, aiding in reducing your electricity costs.
Costs
While single room humidifiers require specific and expensive distilled water, whole home humidifiers run directly off your plumbing adding a mere couple cents to your monthly water bill.
