Humidification is the process of adding moisture to the air.  This process is one of the least understood areas of total home IAQ, but is one of the most important.  We have come to know  in our years of serving this community, that most homeowners are in the dark about this very necessary aspect of total comfort, and they are paying the price with their health and home due to dry air.
How Does Dry Air Happen?
Dry air is caused by a reduction in Relative Humidity; and this is usually prevalent during the heating season.  When cold air is brought into your home and heated, it’s relative humidity is significantly reduced.  This dry air can cause bloody noses, itchy eyes, and make you more susceptible to colds and virus.  It also has negative effects on your homes, woodwork, wood floors, and electronic devices.  One other area dry air hits you is in your wallet.  Dryer air makes you feel colder at normal temperatures, causing you to raise the thermostat.  This leads to higher energy costs.
According to the EPA, every degree you lower your thermostat, it can result in a 4% savings on your heating bill.
