Unless you are brand new to the state, you know what Colorado winters bring (besides champagne powder, lights at Civic Center, and everyone walking around with ski-goggle tans): dry, dry air. You’ve probably busted out the Chapstick and Aquaphor already, but those solutions don’t do much to prevent waking up in the middle of the night with a sandpaper throat. Maybe you’ve tried a small humidifier in your bedroom, but we have a much better and more effective solution for you: a whole house humidifier.
Whole House Humidifier Advantages
A whole house humidifier is a fantastic option for Colorado home owners. Beyond helping you breathe easier at night, a whole house humidifier offers these advantages that you may not have thought of before.
- Having more humid air in your home often provides relief for those with allergies and asthma. Dry air can also make your family more vulnerable to infections.
- Installing a whole house humidifier can actually lower your utility bills because humid air holds heat more effectively, thus reducing the need for your furnace to run constantly.
- A whole house humidifier keeps your hardwood floors and wood furniture in better condition–they are less likely to crack and warp from the dry air.
- Unlike with a room humidifier, whole house humidifiers do not rely on standing water, meaning less worry about bacteria growth.
- Maintenance is usually very simple–the only thing required is a pad change every year.
If you have any other questions regarding advantages of installing a whole house humidifier, please don’t hesitate to ask.
