Too little moisture can lead to lots of different health issues, as well as damaged wood in your home. So what are you supposed to do? Call SOS Xtreme Comfort and allow our team to give you the best options available in whole-home humidifiers or dehumidifying solutions.
What is a whole-home humidifier?
A whole-home humidifier is a device that, as the name suggests, produces humidity for your home. While they come in smaller stand-alone devices as well, whole-home humidifiers are installed directly in your HVAC system. They work by delivering moisture into the air to balance out the levels in your home, making them ideal for dryer areas. If you notice dry skin, cracked wood, and similar issues, a whole-home humidifier is right for you.
What are the benefits of a whole-home humidifier?
Living in dry climates can pose risks to your health and the integrity of your home. It’s important to ensure your home’s moisture levels are balanced for a range of reasons, and some of the benefits of a whole-home humidifier may include:
- Improved moisture levels leading to better sleep and less snoring
- Reduced allergy and asthma symptoms
- Savings on energy costs
- A more comfortable feeling at home year-round
- Increased longevity of your furniture, which can crack from dry air
- Increased longevity of your paint which can chip and peel from dry air
What is a whole-home dehumidifier?
On the other hand, for homes that are too humid, whole-home dehumidifiers can be helpful. Also attached to your HVAC system, this appliance works to remove excess moisture from your air to balance out humidity levels. It can run between or during cooling cycles to remove additional moisture that your AC unit can’t.
What are the benefits of a whole-home dehumidifier?
Moisture-laden homes can lead to a range of issues for your health. Installing a whole-home dehumidifier can offer the following perks:
- Improved home comfort
- Decreased utility bills (as your HVAC system won’t have to work as hard)
- Furniture that is better protected from bubbling, warping, and water damage
- A decreased risk of mold and mildew growing, which can produce bad odors and compromise your health
