Humidifiers Improve IAQ and Keep Your Family Healthy
Humidity levels in your Sarasota, Florida, home can cause several issues. These problems can either stem from a lack of moisture in the air or not enough moisture – depending on the time of the year. Humidity levels can affect anything from the indoor air quality to your health. In our region with many months of heat, high humidity is more common. However, during the cooler months, if you find dry indoor air to be a problem, there is an effective solution. By purchasing a humidifier for your home, you can improve the air quality for your family. Here are a few of the benefits of using a humidifier.
Preventing Nosebleeds
If you or anyone in your family suffers from regular nosebleeds, dry air is your enemy. This air causes the nasal cavity to dry out, which causes capillaries to rupture, leading to nosebleeds. However, a humidifier adds enough moisture to the air to counteract dryness and improve breathing and comfort.
Stopping the Snore
Snoring can be disruptive to sleeping patterns. Dry air exacerbates this problem by causing the throat and nasal passages to dry out, resulting in congestion and snoring. Adding moisture back into the air can significantly help to ease this condition.
Softer Skin
Dry air affects the skin. It causes it to crack and become painful. Using a humidifier will help to restore moisture to your indoor air, and prevent damage and discomfort to the skin. A humidifier can make a lot of difference, especially if you suffer from dry skin in the winter or year-round.
Healthier Houseplants
There’s no denying that houseplants can improve the ambience and improve air quality. Most plants need a certain amount of water and humidity to thrive. By using a humidifier, you add the proper level of humidity, causing plants to thrive, and in turn, leaving you with premium indoor air quality.
