Living in Phoenix, Arizon, we live with especially dry air… The lack of commanded humidity leads to some troubles.
The air tends to pull moisture out of everything it touches, contributing to health troubles plus condo detriment.
Frizzy hair, chapped lips plus static shock are some signs of dry air… Insufficient moisture can also be blamed for headaches, difficulty sleeping, sneezing, coughing plus sore throat. It escalates symptoms of dust irritations, asthma, psoriasis plus eczema… As someone who suffers from psoriasis on my knees plus elbows, it is especially important to me to resolve humidity challenges. There is also the problem that the air dries out nasal passage, making family members more susceptible to cold, flue plus respiratory infections, recovery takes longer when proper moisture isn’t diagnosed… Because the air draws moisture out of wood furnishings, such as hardwood floors, doors, moldings, antiques plus musical instruments, it can result in cracking, chopping plus creaking sounds. In the winter, dry air is an issue because it feels colder than officially moisturized air, then while we don’t face especially dire winters in Phoenix, we require a heating system. If we’re forced to set higher temperature control settings to stay warm, the furnace uses more energy, faces extra wear plus tear plus causes higher utility bills. There are a variety of whole-apartment humidifiers on the market. For my apartment in Phoenix, I chose a steam-style humidifier because it uses a truly natural process. Water passes over electrodes that create steam plus is introduced into the air as it passes through the heating plus cooling system. Because of the humidifier, my apartment is healthier, more comfortable plus energy efficient.
