What Is a Humidifier?
A humidifier turns water into breathable vapour and disperses it into the air. Although there are several types of humidifiers, a whole-home humidifier delivers the moist air to all parts of your home through your duct system.
Benefits of Humidifiers:
- Extra moisture in the air can make a difference to your health. If you are experiencing dry cracked lips/skin, coughing, and/or having frequent nosebleeds, a humidifier can help. Humidifiers may also reduce colds/flus by deactivating the virus particles in the air and can also lessen the symptoms of existing colds/flus.
- Humid air will feel warmer which means you can turn your furnace down a couple notches during the colder, winter months which will save on energy as well as money. A whole-home humidifier can work with your current HVAC system therefore you do not need a separate unit for each.
- Winters are particularly dry in Alberta due to the climate; a humidifier will help keep your skin soft and your sinuses clear. Health Canada recommends the humidity in your home be kept between 30-55%, installing a humidifier will keep the moisture consistent in your home.
- Humidifiers require minimal maintenance, are easy and affordable to install in your home.
