Signs you need a Home Humidifier

Do you also find winters hard enough without worrying if the humidity level in your home is optimal for everyone’s health? You may need a humidifier that complements your heating system and keeps the humidity level better for the house, as well as healthy and comfortable for your loved ones.

Watch out for the signs you need a home humidifier:

1. You have dry, itchy skin.

Your skin is a good indicator if your home humidity level is right. The humidity level in your home should be between 30% and 50%. When it goes below 30%, the air will be too dry, causing dry, itchy skin.

So if you always have itchy scalp, plus dry and flaky skin, moisturizing products alone won’t fix the problem.  Dry air could be the culprit, causing your discomfort.  

If the moisture in your hair and skin is literally being sucked out, there’s no doubt you’d feel unpleasant.

This is how installing a home humidifier can boost your indoor comfort and soothe dry skin.

2. You have asthma or other respiratory problems.

Unfortunately, asthma and respiratory conditions are aggravated by dry air. A humidifier can give homeowners control over the indoor humidity level, making it easier for asthma sufferers to stay comfortable.

If you’re also experiencing cold symptoms during the winter – particularly sore throat, runny nose, and dry eyes – it can be due to low humidity levels, too.

Humidifiers will make it easier for air to pass through by helping moisturize your nasal, throat, and lung passages.

A humidifier won’t cure asthma or any medical condition, but it can help you feel better faster.

Aside from humidifiers, you can also use your HVAC unit to alleviate allergies.

3. Your nose bleeds.

Nosebleeds happen for many reasons, but dry air is the most common.

When the humidity is low, it can make the nasal membrane dry, crusty, or cracked, and more likely to bleed when you rub, pick or blow your nose.

A humidifier can help prevent nosebleeds caused by dry air.

4. There’s too much static.

 It can’t seriously harm you, but static is annoying and, sometimes, painful.

Humidity helps evenly distribute excess charges, blocking static electricity and buildup. With high air humidity, there’s less likelihood of static shocks.

Controlling the humidity in the air using a humidifier can reduce static electricity at home.
