Saving Money With a Whole-Home Humidifier

A whole-home humidifier is often installed directly into your home’s central cooling and heating system. In contrast to a portable humidifier, a whole-home humidifier can humidify every single room in your house. Many people and research studies have conveyed the benefits of a portable humidifier, but how can a whole-home humidifier help you save money?

Keep Warm Air Flowing in the Winter Months

Once the weather starts to get cooler, our immediate reaction is to bump up the thermostat. In fact, the months with the highest usage of electricity are often in the winter and summer—for obvious reasons. Still, what if you didn’t have to raise the thermostat right away? What if you could save money on your winter heating bills by adding a whole-home humidifier?

What many homeowners are realizing is that a whole-home humidifier actually makes the circulating air feel warmer. As a result, you can stop fidgeting with the thermostat. A certified HVAC specialist who can efficiently install a whole-home humidifier can help you save money on your energy costs.

Prevent the Flu and Irritated Respiratory Systems

Your health is your wealth. When you’re battling a tough cold, the only thing you can think of is getting better. For the worst colds, you can forget about working when you can barely breathe and you’re coughing up a storm. The good news is that a whole-home humidifier offers benefits to help ward off the cold and flu. During the cold and flu season, medical practitioners recommend keeping the humidity level in your home at 40 to 60 percent.

When the air is too dry, it can trigger sinus inflammation. A humidifier will help soothe your sinuses and make the air more comfortable to breathe. Plus, you will also breathe better because your nasal and throat passages will be hydrated. Now, you can go on about your business without worrying about these types of illnesses.

Protect Your Possessions

Everything from your hardwood flooring and wooden piano to the paint on your walls all need some humidity to keep from getting damaged. If the air is too dry, your wood fixtures and belongings will start to crack. Also, the paint on your walls will start to chip. Even your electronics and technological devices can malfunction when surrounded by dry static electricity. Installing a whole-home humidifier can help decrease the likelihood of having to replace your fixtures, furniture, and belongings.

With maintenance needed only once or twice a year, consider a whole-home humidifier. Contact Certified Service in Burbank, CA, today for more information on the different types of whole-home humidifiers we have available. We also offer a full range of heating and AC services.
