Humidification

Do I need a humidifier as part of my HVAC system? Before you answer this question, check your indoor humidity levels during winter or call us at 708 717 9995 so we can check it for you. Furnaces generate heated, dry air, causing low humidity in your house. This can lead to dry skin, breathing issues, stuffy nose, and sneezing. Sustainable humidity is not only important for your health but also for your home, helping to maintain the stability of floors and furniture. The recommended humidity level is between 30-40%, with 35% being the ideal level.

Having experience with many brands of humidifiers, our experts strongly recommend AprilAire. AprilAire Whole-House Humidifiers balance your home’s humidity to:

• Improve sleep and reduce dry skin

• Enhance productivity

• Keep you protected against airborne viruses

• Preserve your home and prevent cracking or warping of wooden furniture and floors

While balanced humidity exists between 40% and 60%, it’s essential to remember that outdoor temperature and other home factors will impact the attainable and recommended relative humidity level for your house. Talk with your HVAC professional to determine the best solution for your home.

Why Maintaining the Right Humidity Levels is Crucial for Your Home:

1.

Health Benefits

Proper humidity reduces airborne bacteria, viruses, fungi, and dust mites, which can contribute to respiratory infections and aggravate allergies or asthma symptoms.

2.

Comfort Improvement

Whether your home is in a dry region or experiences seasonal dryness, maintaining proper humidity levels can significantly improve how comfortable you feel indoors.

3.

Wood Preservation

Balanced humidity helps preserve the natural beauty of wood floors, cabinetry, and furnishings, preventing damage like warping or cracking caused by low humidity levels.
