Benefits Of Using Humidifiers
1. Reduced Allergy Symptoms
Whole-home humidifiers significantly help to manage allergy symptoms, preventing your skin and airways from drying out which can help reduce coughing, swelling, runny noses, and irritation.
2. Comfortable Throats & Sinuses
The added moisture in the air provided by a humidifier provides relief to dry noses and vocal cords, especially when you sleep. This also increases your resistance to bacteria in the air and prevents you from waking up with sore throats and clogged sinuses.
3. Sleep Easy
Dry air means a dry respiratory system which leads to snoring. If you or your partner sore, a moist environment can calm dry and scratchy sinuses and provide a comfortable and quiet sleep throughout the night.
4. Skin Health
Dry skin is caused by dry air – who’da thought?? Humidifiers hydrate your skin which not only reduces itchiness and irritation, but also prevents acne, flaking, and helps maintain soft, vibrant skin.
5. Lowered Risk of Colds & Flu
Moist air prevents bacteria from traveling easily and can prevent you from catching any nasty colds or the flu this season.
6. No More Static
Static electricity can seem to be inevitable in the cold months. Humidifiers get rid of the dry air that static needs to travel through, preventing those annoying shocks and sticky clothes during the winter.
7. Longer Furniture Life
Dry air will steal the moisture right out of your wood furniture and floors, which will cause cracking and degradation. Humidifiers help maintain the integrity of the wood and increase its lifespan.
8. Healthy Plant Life
The health of your houseplants will certainly be affected by dry winter air. Humidifiers can keep your plants from drooping and keep their soil from quickly drying out.
9. Reduced Energy Bills
Added humidity to the air will make it feel warmer. This is evident outside during the summer months. During the winter though, a humidifier can increase the temperature of the air inside your home and cut down on heating costs.
10. Minimal Maintenance
Whole-home humidifiers are installed directly into your air ducts and are connected to your water supply. This means that they have everything they need to treat the air inside your home and require very little upkeep. Therefore, they are significantly cheaper and easier to maintain than having several small humidifiers running throughout your home.
