Aprilaire Humidifier Model 800

Having the right amount of moisture isn’t only important for your home, it is also essential for your throat, skin, and your overall wellness. Exposure to improper humidity levels can dry out and inflame the mucous membrane lining your respiratory tract, increasing your risk of colds, the flu, and other infections. Also, when humidity levels are low, flu viruses thrive and spread more easily.

Your home typically draws dry air from household items such as furniture, wood floors, musical instruments, and other wooden materials. Dry air makes the air feel cooler than humidified air, so to reach your preferred comfort level, you need to adjust the thermostat at a higher temperature.

To keep balanced humidity levels in your home, you may want to consider getting a whole home humidifier.

Four Seasons Air Specialists is a trusted HVAC company in White Bear Lake, MN that offers a wide variety of humidifiers made by some of the world’s best such as Aprilaire.

What is Humidity?

Humidity refers to the presence of water vapor in the atmosphere. It is completely transparent, just like the rest of the gases in the atmosphere. Humidity has an effect on a lot of aspects of our daily lives such as our breathing patterns, skin, eyes, sleep, hair, and even our electronic devices.

Humidity and Health

Many viruses develop in low humidity, which increases your risk of catching airborne diseases. When someone sneezes, the droplets may dry out but the viruses remain alive, floating in the air indefinitely, entering your dry respiratory tract.

Low humidity is attributed to health problems such irritation of the eyes and skin, inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the respiratory tract. This often results in colds, influenza, and other respiratory tract infections.

In addition to your eyes, your skin also is affected by low humidity. Many people experience dry, itchy skin when the weather is cold. This skin condition is called winter itch, which is caused by inadequate moisture in the skin.
