Did you know that during the winter months, there’s a good chance your home has drier air than the Sahara Desert? It's true! The air in the Sahara Desert has a humidity level of 25%. The average percentage of humidity in the air of your home should be at least 30%, but sadly many homes, particularly during winter, are closer to 10-15%! If seasonal dry skin or a scratchy throat plagues you or your pets, the lack of humidity in your home could be the culprit. It can also cause static carpets, and over time, dry the woodwork in your home! Humidifiers are made to put moisture back into the air. We recommend a whole home humidifier over portable models. They are proven safer and more effective. They need to be maintained once per year during your Fall furnace tune up to perform best. If you feel your in-home air could use some help, we are offering $75 off the installation of a new humidifier!
