Benefits of a Humidifier
Posted On: April 8, 2020

Have you ever found the air in your home to be stuffy, do you or your family suffer from dry skin or have a cough that won't go away? If the answer is yes, then you need a humidifier.


Humidifiers work by adding moisture to the air, and they should be used in both the winter and summer months when the furnace and air conditioner are on the most.


While we often associate humidity as being uncomfortable, especially when outside during the summer, it can be beneficial to your home. But it's important to remember that too much moisture can have the opposite effect, a safe level should be around 30-50 percent. Some central humidifiers are equipped with a tool that will measure humidity levels.


Humidifiers can help relieve the following symptoms associated with dry air.


  • Dry skin
  • Sinus congestion and headaches
  • Dry coughs
  • Cracked lips
  • Nose irritation

They can also promote better sleep by keeping your airways from drying out.


The most common humidifiers used in homes are console and portable units. Console units are large and usually have wheels so they can be easily moved from room to room.


Personal humidifiers are smaller in size, and they are used in bedrooms and when traveling.


It is important to know that safety around humidifiers is essential; burns are common with these units, so be sure to keep them away from young children. You should clean the bucket and filter with soap and water every three days to prevent bacterial growth and always use distilled or demineralized water when filling the unit.


To keep your family healthy, you should also regularly change the filter in your heating and cooling unit.


There are many brands of humidifiers out there, some of them ranging from inexpensive to expensive. When shopping for a unit, it's always best to look around and compare.
