A Humidifier Eliminates Your Phoenix Home’s Dry Air
When air lacks the appropriate amount of humidity, it causes dry skin and sore, scratchy throats that make breathing uncomfortable. If this is the case with the indoor air in your home or business, then Hobaica will install a whole house humidifier to add a healthy amount of humidity back into the air with any complete HVAC system replacement.
Benefits of a Humidifier
There are many benefits to installing a whole home humidifier, such as:
Health – Many viruses thrive in low humidity. A whole house humidifier can help avoid colds, flu, and other respiratory problems. Comfort – Extremely dry air can lead to uncomfortably dry noses, scratchy throats, and cracked, itchy skin. Preservation – Overly dry air can damage wood floors, plaster, paint, furniture, artwork, electronics and musical instruments. A whole house humidifier will help protect these items and keep them in their best condition. Energy Efficiency – Installing a whole home humidifier can actually help you feel warmer at a lower temperature. This allows you to keep the thermostat set low and save money on your heating bills.
Whole Home Humidifier FAQs
The three main types of whole home humidifiers are bypass humidifiers, fan-powered humidifiers and steam humidifiers, and each type can offer different benefits to your home.
- Bypass humidifiers can be a good choice if you’re on a budget and require little maintenance.
- Fan-powered humidifiers are great for larger spaces and don’t rely on your HVAC to run.
- Steam humidifiers use very little water in comparison to other types of humidifiers and don’t require a lot of maintenance.
Whole home humidifiers offer a wide variety of benefits and are especially helpful in the cold, dry months. Some of the best benefits of having a humidifier in you home are:
- Having a whole home humidifier can lead to better sleep.
- Allergy and asthma symptoms may be reduced with humidifiers.
- Humidifiers can help to soothe dry, itchy skin.
- Humidifiers may alleviate chronic nosebleeds.
Whole house humidifiers generally cost between $100-$300, though there are some types that can cost as much as $1,000. Typically, bypass humidifiers are cheaper to buy while steam humidifiers tend to be more expensive on average. The cost for a whole house humidifier will also depend on the brand of the humidifier you want.
The ideal humidity level for a home depends on several factors:
- Season
- Climate
- Personal preference
- Health considerations
Here's a more detailed explanation:
The ideal humidity level for most homes ranges between 30% to 50%. During winter, aim for the lower end (30-40%) to prevent condensation and mold growth. In summer, higher levels (40-50%) can be more comfortable. Hygrometers help monitor humidity. Excessive humidity can promote mold and dust mites, while low humidity may cause dry skin, static electricity, and respiratory issues. Maintain proper levels for optimal comfort, health, and home preservation.
