Humidifiers

A whole-house humidifier brings cold weather comfort

When Connecticut gets cold, indoor environments get dry.

That’s because heating systems can warm the indoor air, but they can’t add humidity to the warm air they have produced.

The results of overly dry air are not good for a home or its occupants, including:

• Scratchy or sore throat
• Cracked and itchy skin
• Dry and bleeding nose
• Aggravated asthma and allergies
• Greater exposure to viruses
• Painful, alarming static-electricity shocks
• Chipping paint and plaster
• Splitting or cracking trim, molding, furniture, and wood flooring

The solution to these issues is a whole-house humidifier, which will introduce moisture at ideal levels to keep your home comfortable, its surfaces and furnishings whole, and its occupants healthier.

It can also help save you money, because a properly humidified home allows you to lower your thermostat temperatures during winter. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), every degree you lower your thermostat saves up to 4% on your heating bill.

Below are some examples of whole-house humidifier systems that we sell and install:
