Humidity

Did you know that during the heating season your house is actually drier than the Sahara desert?  If the outside air is 35 degrees with 65% relative humidity, and you heat your home to 72 degrees, the indoor humidity level will be 15%.  By comparison, the average humidity level of the Sahara is 25%.

Humidifiers

Did you also know that adding devices that elevate the humidity of your home can actually save you money on your heating bill?  Air that is more humid, feels warmer. This allows you to lower your thermostat, which is the best way to save money.  

Other benefits of having R.E. Sanders install a humidifier in your house include:

  • less skin irritation
  • fewer trips to the doctor for respiratory issues
  • reduce static electricity that can damage today`s electronics
  • less wear and tear on your furniture, flooring and cabinetry (humidity minimizes the shrinkage and cracking of wood products)

This simple procedure will make you feel better and save you money. Call Joel Moore to discuss installing a whole house humidifier in your home today! (717)843-7894.
