| Early Snowfall in SE Wisconsin 11-16-14 |
It appears that "Old Man Winter" has decided to show up early this year and stay for a while. This also means that your furnace has been at work earlier than in years past. The continued use of your furnace and prolonged cold weather can significantly lower your home's humidity, so it is time to turn your humidifier back on.
Average humidity levels in most homes should range between 30-50%, with 45% being ideal.
Benefits of Increasing Your Homes Humidity
- Soothes nasal passages and eases the symptoms of the common cold, as well as help you to heal faster.
- Relieves the symptoms of other upper respiratory ailments like asthma and allergies
- Combats dry and cracking skin
- Protects your home's wood furniture, trim and flooring by keeping it from drying out and cracking
- Reduces static electricity
A whole-house humidifier is easy to add and costs less than you may think to have installed on your existing HVAC system. If you are located in Southeastern Wisconsin, contact Wayne at 1st Choice Heating & Cooling or call our office at 262-547-2030.
