Heating your home in the winter dries out the air and can cause dry skin and hair. The heat causes the water molecules in the air to evaporate, causing dryness. In addition, the dryness aggravates allergies and asthma. A desert spring humidifier helps alleviate these problems caused by dry heat. Extremely dry air can damage wood furniture and flooring as well. People living in dry climates may use a desert spring humidifier year round.
Humidifiers replace the moisture lost to home heating. The best range of humidity in homes is between thirty and fifty percent. At under thirty percent, the air in your home becomes dry. High humidity causes problems, too. Mold and mildew can grow in humidity greater than sixty percent. It’s important to keep track of levels and adjust the controls as needed.
You can purchase a humidifier inexpensively, if you only want to humidify one or two areas. Small, table top units are available for your office as well. The air in office buildings becomes as dry as the air in your home when the heat is turned on. In some cases, the air is even worse at work. Reports of “sick office buildings” have been linked to respiratory illnesses. If you find the air at work irritating, use a model with a hepa filter to help trap the particles in the air.
People with allergies or asthma often opt for a whole house models. These must be professionally installed and connected to water and electric. Most can run on cold or hot water, but some have specific water requirements. Information on these requirements will be included with your unit and the contractor will determine the best way to install the machine for best use.
