Is the Air in Your Home Too Dry?
Homes today are built tight to keep out moisture and drafts. That’s a good thing in most respects, but when the air is too dry, it can lead to problems. The right level of humidity in the air during the heating season can save energy because humid air feels warmer. When the air is too dry, you’ll notice more dry throats, dry skin, allergy symptoms, and viruses spreading easier. If your body is affected by the dry air, so are other items in your home. Wood doors, floors, and furniture can be damaged from continual exposure to dry air. Vectra Mechanical HVAC, Electrical and Plumbing can recommend and install a whole-house humidifier system to keep your home at the perfect level of comfort. We install all types of humidifier systems:
- Bypass
- Steam
- Powered
- Digital
