Dry air in your home isn\u2019t just uncomfortable, it can cause issues for your health and quality of items in your home. Rather than suffer through the winter months with itchy skin and warped wood floors, we suggest installing a whole-home humidifier. Here are just a few of our favorite benefits that a system will give you and your home.\"hardwood<\/a><\/p>\n

Preserve Your Floors and Home<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Are you proud of your home\u2019s original hardwood floors? We love the look and feel of hardwood, but it requires more TLC than other types of flooring, especially when it comes to your home\u2019s humidity. With air that\u2019s too dry, your flooring and furniture will shrink, warp and crack. Even worse, paper keepsakes like photos and books become brittle and crack.<\/p>\n

Whole-home humidifiers maintain your home\u2019s humidity to a safe and comfortable level between 30 to 50%. Within this safe range, the wood, paper, electronics, and drywall in your home are better protected and better preserved.<\/p>\n

Improve Your Health<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dry air translates to dry sinuses, eyes, and skin. Your eyes get irritated, your skin becomes itchy, and your lips crack. In fact, your family is at a greater risk for respiratory illnesses and of suffering from asthma-like symptoms.<\/p>\n

Whole-home humidifiers will moisturize your skin and nasal passages. The change will improve your breathing and even decrease snoring! That being said, you won\u2019t put your home at risk for viruses and bacteria that thrive in moist air, because your whole-home system is self-regulated.<\/p>\n

Lower Your Energy Bills<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Air with more moisture is more comfortable \u2014 it\u2019s that simple! The air may be at a lower temperature, but you will, in fact, feel warmer. Most homeowners with whole-home humidifiers will end up lowering their thermostats and in effect their heating bills, too.<\/p>\n

Stay Comfortable with Less Effort<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Maintaining the humidity in your home with small, portable units can get tedious fast. You\u2019ll need to constantly monitor the humidity level to keep your home safe from the air that is both too dry and too wet.<\/p>\n

With a whole-home system, you\u2019ll get greater peace of mind by setting the humidity level and then forgetting about it. The system will do the heavy lifting of releasing moisture only when necessary.<\/p>\n
