Improved Health and Lower Heating Bills with Whole House Humidifier Service
Protect your health, lower heating bills, andimprove your immune system with a home furnace humidifier. Having the proper humidity level in your house or business is key to healthier living and an overall more comfortable winter.
A whole-house humidifier is part of your furnace system to deliver moisture throughout your entire house.
There Are Two Main Types of Whole-House Humidifiers:
-
Common Bypass Humidifier: It uses a saturated water panel. Warm air from your furnace blows over the panel, causing the water to evaporate and get carried through the ductwork and into your house.
-
Steam Humidifier: This type boils water to create steam that's then released into your ductwork.
Benefits of a Whole-House Humidifier:
- Improves respiratory health by easing congestion and coughs.
- Improve Immune System - Your sinus is protected by paper thin and fragile mucous membranes. When dry, they crack and allow infectious germs a direct path to your bloodstream. Dryness can also cause a bloody nose.
- Virus Protection - Keeping indoor humidity between 30%-50% minimizes virus survival rates.
- Avoid itchy skin, scratchy throats, and irritated sinuses caused by dry winter air.
- Lower Heating Bills - Moisture regulates body temperature. When perspiration evaporates, it absorbs heat from your skin. The dryer the air, the quicker your body cools. When chilly, you turn up your furnace thermostat which dries the air even more. With a furnace humidifier you can lower the temperature, which will save 1 to 3 percent for every one degree you lower the thermostat.
- Preservation - Humidifiers can help prevent cracks and damage to wooden floors, furniture, plants, and even animal health.
- Reduces static electricity.
- Can improve sleep quality.
- Most home furnace humidifiers can deliver anywhere between 12-18 gallons of water per day into the air.

Scorched Sinuses, Itchy Skin
Did you know your sinus cavities are protected by paper thin and fragile mucous membranes? Mucous helps keep them pliable.
When dry, mucous membranes can crack, allowing disease-causing germs a direct channel into your bloodstream. This is a real problem in the winter, when bacteria and viruses live longer in dry air after a sneeze or cough. Mucous's job is to trap these invaders and help them drain down into your stomach where gastric acids kill the germs.
Your Body Is A Furnace, Too.
Body temperature is controlled by secreting moisture from perspiration, which evaporates, absorbing heat from your skin.
The dryer the air, the faster the evaporation and the quicker your body cools. Turning up the thermostat just dries the air even more, leading to a feedback loop that can make you feel even colder.
A whole house furnace humidifiers keep the moisture in the air at a stable level, so your furnace's work doesn't go to waste and your body doesn't have to overdo it. Combined with the latest air purifying system, a humidifier for house furnace adds comfort.
