Why Humidity Matters

When it comes to comfort in the home, humidity plays a big role.  Less in the summer keeps you cool.  In the winter, add humidity and everything changes.

What’s involved?  As your furnace heats the air, it also robs your home of humidity.  When humidity drops below 20%, air can dry out your skin, and make it seem colder than it really is. Static electricity is a sure sign this is going on.  Most furnaces can be retrofitted with a humidifier that delivers 12 to 18 gallons of water into the air daily. How? The device taps into a water line. The flow passes over a miniature honeycombed waterfall. The furnace blower circulates the air through it, and magic occurs. Stepping into your house on a brutally cold day can be an escape.  As you enter, the gentle warmth is a friendly hello.

Systems vary depending on your furnace. Mechanical Extremes can help you see if a humidifier is right for you.
