The Top 4 Benefits of a Humidifier in Your Home

Though most of us have heard of and even seen humidifiers, not as many understand the purpose of these units. As we move into the colder months of winter, installing a humidifier in your home could yield a variety of benefits. Like the name implies, a humidifier will add moisture to the air of your home and serve to prevent dryness. The capability of your humidifier, will vary greatly based on brand you choose and the size of your living space. Once you’ve selected the right unit for your home it will be essential to keep the humidity level between 30-50 percent according to the Environmental Protection Agency. While there are numerous advantages to installing a humidifier in your home, here is our top four:

A humidifier will help keep the cost of your energy bill down. How could this be? After all you’d be running one more appliance in your home. The colder temperatures of fall and winter brings dry air into your house. When you humidify your air, you will actually feel warmer than your home’s internal temperature would make you think. This will allow you to turn down the heat and still remain at a comfortable temperature.
A humidifier will help prevent static electricity in your home. If you’ve ever fallen victim to shocking yourself after walking across a carpet floor, you’ve also probably noticed that this is much more likely to occur during the winter months. Increased static electricity comes as a result of dry air and can put your appliances and electronic devices at risk. A humidifier in your home will work to prevent static electricity.
When you install a humidifier in your home you’ll be doing your health a big favor! A humidifier offers an added layer of protection in preventing influenza. Increased humidity levels will leave the flu virus much less infectious. While this benefit should be appealing for just about anyone, it should be especially appealing for households that are shared by multiple people or families where germs are more likely to spread.
When you install a humidifier you are likely to see an improvement in the health of your skin. Have you ever noticed that your skin might feel more dry in the winter? This is likely in part because of germ season since you’re being more conscious of washing your hands, but this it is also because of the dry air in your home. A humidifier will help to alleviate dry skin.
