I chose a steam-style humidifier because it can entirely handle the square footage of the home.
Residing in the northeastern part of the country, our Winter seasons are long and brutal, but it isn’t improper to need to start up the furnace at night by the end of September, and both of us correctly deal with eight straight weeks of relying on the furnace. The temperature usually drops well below zero and the windchill is downright dangerous, however our average snow accumulation is around fifteen feet. The weather is a big expense and challenge. I’m constantly looking for ways to improve comfort, reduce energy waste and minimize daily heating bills. Not long ago I invested in a humidifier for our home, and it’s entirely paid for itself, but when the air is ice cold and the furnace is running, indoor humidity levels fall way below the ideal level. Thanks to the overly dry air that feels colder than properly moisturized air, it’s tempting to raise the thermostat setting. The furnace then needs to work so much harder and run longer, increasing costs and the option of malfunction. Along with that, insufficient humidity can be blamed for property destruction and health risks. Headaches, sore throat, itchy eyep, sleeplessness, bloody noses and annoyed symptoms of asthma and allergy can be blamed on a lack of necessary humidity. Psoriasis, eczema and itchy skin are damaged by the dry air. I chose a steam-style humidifier because it can entirely handle the square footage of the home. The humidifier incorporated right into the existing furnace, operates quietly and requires only your run of the mill upkeep. It works by turning water into steam and introducing it into the heated air from the furnace. I can regulate the moisture levels to personal preference. Because of the humidifier, the lake house feels warmer at colder thermostat settings.
