I decided on a steam-style humidifier because it produces moisture undoubtedly naturally.
The winters in South Bend, IN, are difficult; Temperatures in the teens require a powerful heat system. The boiler in my household blasts at maximum capacity just about twenty-four hours a afternoon for approximately eight months. The air becomes especially dry, when there is insufficient humidity, the air tends to feel colder. This leads to higher temperature control settings, a larger demand on the boiler as well as higher energy bills, but plus, it worsens the problem. The air can become so dry that it causes hardwood floors, doors, moldings as well as furnishing to crack. The dry air dries out nasal passages, making family members more susceptible to colds, flu as well as respiratory infection… Coughing, sneezing, headaches, bloody noses, difficulty tired as well as irritated symptoms of asthma, allergies, psoriasis as well as eczema are some of the consequences… I tried portable humidifiers as well as noticed no improvement. I finally consulted with a local HVAC business from South Bend to get some recommendations. The professional recommended the installation of a whole-household humidifier. I researched as well as learned that there are three unusual types of humidifiers. There are steam-style, bypass as well as fan-style humidifiers that accommodate unusual sizes of homes as well as work either in tandem with or independently from the heating system. I decided on a steam-style humidifier because it produces moisture undoubtedly naturally. It uses electrodes to convert water into steam as well as introduce it into the heated air. The humidifier runs virtually silently as well as requires only annual repair. It makes an improvement throughout every room in the house, elevating comfort as well as indoor air quality… Because I’ve been able to lower the temperature control setting a bit, the savings on the energy bills have reclaimed the cost of the humidifier.
