Great for homes, personal offices, and businesses. Doctors often times have mentioned dry air as one of the causes for nose, throat, and other physical aggravations. Heated air dries out and shrinks wood framing around doors and window frames.
Gaps occur, permitting cold outside air infiltration.
Heat loss and higher heating costs are often the result. Proper humidity reduces heating costs by stopping wood shrinkage, which reduces cold air infiltration around door and window frames. In turn, you will feel warm at lower temperatures. You can actually lower your thermostat and still be comfortable. In cases where excessive dry air has been the cause of physical aggravations, doctors have prescribed whole-house humidification.
