The air inside your home is drier than you think. Heating your home dries out the air. The resulting dry air absorbs moisture form you and everything inside your home. Even new homes will succumb to the negative effects of air that is too dry. It’s a fact: The average home, including new homes, can be up to four times below recommended indoor relative humidity levels.
Dry air causes the following conditions:
- Skin Irritation and Discomfort:
When you heat your home, indoor humidity levels fall below the optimum range. This causes you to experience the discomforts of too dry itchy skin, annoying static shocks and being “too cold” at normal temperatures. - Unhealthy Air:
Viruses thrive in low humidity conditions and can actually increase the likelihood of getting colds, fly and other upper respiratory ailments. The American Society of Otolaryngology advises the importance of preventing an overly dry environment because it significantly increases susceptibility to infection. - Home Damage:
When heating air isn’t properly humidified it causes walls and ceilings to crack and wood floors and trim to separate. Expensive musical instruments can go out of tune and electronic equipment can fall victim to static electric charges, requiring expensive repair or replacement. - Higher energy costs:
Dry air robs the moisture from your skin, making you feel colder, which means you turn up the heat. Dry air also shrinks the framing around doors and windows, resulting in gaps that let in cold air from the outside, making your home less energy efficient.
