Health benefits of a whole-house humidifier
Fact: Studies show flu viruses thrive in dry winter air. Honeywell and Aprilaire humidifiers create an environment that’s great for your family…but not for the flu.
- Naturally you feel dry air in the wettest parts of your body first.
- Your sinuses, throat, eyes and skin dry out, making you uncomfortable.
- Dry nostrils can crack and give you a nosebleed.
- Your body’s immune system stays healthy at around 35% relative humidity.
- If the temperature outside hits 10 degrees, your home’s indoor relative humidity can be in the single digits thanks to warm, dry air from your furnace.
- PDM can help you fix that health problem with humidifier installation service.
Scorched sinuses, itchy skin
Did you know your sinus cavities are protected by paper thin and fragile mucous membranes? Mucous helps keep them pliable.
When dry, mucous membranes can crack, allowing disease-causing germs a direct channel into your bloodstream. This is a real problem in the winter, when bacteria and viruses live longer in dry air after a sneeze or cough. Mucous’s job is to trap these invaders and help them drain down into your stomach where gastric acids kill the germs.
Your body is a furnace, too.
Body temperature is controlled by secreting moisture from perspiration, which evaporates, absorbing heat from your skin.
The dryer the air, the faster the evaporation and the quicker your body cools. Turning up the thermostat just dries the air even more, leading to a feedback loop that can make you feel even colder.
A whole house furnace humidifiers keep the moisture in the air at a stable level, so your furnace’s work doesn’t go to waste and your body doesn’t have to overdo it. Combined with the latest air purifying system, a humidifier for house furnace adds comfort.
