What Happens When You Have Too Little Humidity?

In winter, the air does more than just get cold—it also gets dry. That lack of moisture in the air can cause many health and comfort problems, including sore throats, dry skin, increased static electricity, and even certain respiratory problems. Dry air also makes it easier for airborne viruses and contaminants to circulate, leading to colds and the flu.

How a Whole-Home Humidifier Fixes Those Problems

A humidifier releases moisture back into your air, which helps you avoid problems with dry air in the winter. It connects to your HVAC and water systems to run automatically, increasing your comfort at the same time.

Humidifiers benefit you in so many ways, including:

And with more moisture in the air, your home will actually feel warmer. It’s another great humidifier benefit—that warm feeling means you can set your thermostat lower, helping you save even more on energy costs. In fact, for every degree you lower your thermostat, you can save up to four percent on your heating bill.

What Happens When Your Home Is Too Humid?

We all know that hot and muggy feeling that comes with humid days. When your air has too much moisture, that same discomfort can happen in your own home. Excess moisture can also lead to mold and mildew, musty-smelling rooms, and warped doors and wood furniture.

How a Whole-Home Dehumidifier Fixes Those Problems

Dehumidifiers are the perfect solution to high humidity. These systems help remove excess moisture from your air, getting rid of that muggy feeling and returning comfort to your home.

Benefits include:

A dehumidifier can also help your home feel cooler—less moisture means less warmth. That comfort means you won’t have to blast your AC, helping you save on your monthly energy bills in the summer.
