Keeping a home at the right humidity level can make a noticeable difference in it's comfort level and can also help control your heating costs. But, what constitutes a good humidity level for your home? The ideal indoor humidity range lies between 30-45 percent in the winter months, to below 50 percent during the summer.
When the humidity levels in your home fall below 30-45 percent, you may begin to notice an unpleasant effect on your skin and nasal passages. On the other hand, high indoor humidity when the outdoor temperature is frigid will result in condensation on your windows. Even worse yet, humidity of over 65 percent can encourage the growth of mold.
This is especially true in the South Elgin area where it can be exceptionally dry in the winter months. You may be thinking about getting a humidifier to make the season more comfortable. Humidifiers decrease chances of contracting illness during these colder months.
Other benefits include relief for irritated sinuses and dry skin. Snoring may be reduced by the presence of an indoor humidifier as well. Peaceful nights alone could provide enough incentive for making the purchase but there are facts that shoppers need to take into consideration when picking out a new humidifying system.
Reduce incidence of respiratory infections and symptoms related to allergies and asthma by minimizing the formation of bacteria and viruses, fungi, and dust mites.
Whether your home is in a dry region of the country, or in an area with seasonal dryness, maintaining the right level of humidity can make all the difference in how comfortable you feel in your home.
