Whole-House Residential Humidifiers

Why is it important to have a proper level of humidity
in your home during Winter?

for many reasons:

  • Since the air in your home is always trying to reach its saturation point, it will absorb water wherever it can; from the bodies of you and your children, your pets, your furniture and even your house plants. As a result your skin, throat and nasal passages dry out, leaving you more susceptible to physical discomfort, colds, flu and even infection. That's why many doctors recommend humidifiers for allergy and asthma sufferers.
  • Research shows that 30% – 60% relative humidity is ideal. Outside this range, bacteria, fungi, viruses and mites thrive and multiply, along with your risk of being adversely affected.
  • Dry air causes dry, itchy, cracked skin.
  • Dry air cracks expensive woodwork, floors, window trim and furnishings.
  • Static electricity (caused by dry air) can damage computers, VCR's and other electronic equipment, requiring expensive repair.
  • Dry air causes gaps in window & door frames, letting cold outdoor air in; causing you to turn up the heat and increasing your heating bills! Controlled humidity from the GeneralAire® Elite Steam Humidifier allows you the luxury of dialing the thermostat back & reducing annual heating bills. For example, 68° at 40% relative humidity feels just as warm as 74° at 20% humidity. Setting your thermostat back by as little as three degrees can reduce annual heating bills by as much as 5%.
