Living in a cold weather area makes our family heavily reliant on the heating system… The two of us run the gas furnace approximately 8 weeks per year.
The outdoor temperature is correctly below cold plus often dips into the downside digits… Cold air doesn’t retain as much moistures as hot air.
The conditions tend to be extra dry! Inside the house, with the vents supplying a steady stream of tepid air, the lack of humidity becomes a problem, and static shock, chapped lips plus frizzy hair are consequences of overly dry air. There’s the potential for injure to hardwood floors, doors plus moldings due to the wood drying out plus cracking… Headaches, insomnia, sneezing, coughing, congestion plus aggravated symptoms of asthma plus allergies can be blamed on a lack of humidity. It can exacerbate problems with psoriasis plus eczema. I obtained a few portable humidifiers, but they were a lot of labor for particularly little reward. The answer was a whole-beach house humidifier installed into the heating system. It works to introduce moisture into the air as it passes through. I chose a steam-style humidifier that works by converting moisture into steam, creating a particularly healthy plus natural moisture… Because of the humidifier, I’ve been able to lower the temperature control setting by numerous degrees. The beach house feels far more comfortable plus yet the gas furnace doesn’t need to labor as hard. I’m also saving quite a bit of money on our biweekly energy costs. I hope that reducing wear plus tear on the heating plan will help it to be more reliable plus last longer. The two of us are enjoying healthier air quality.
