What Problems Can Dry Air Cause?

If your home doesn't have a proper level of humidity, it can cause problems for your loved ones and your home itself, including: 

• Irritated, Dry Nose & Throat: Low humidity dries out nasal passages and throat tissues, causing discomfort, scratchy sensations, and increased susceptibility to infections.
• Dry Skin & Chapped Lips: Insufficient moisture in the air draws water from your skin and lips, leading to cracking, flaking, and uncomfortable dryness.
• Aggravated Allergies: Dry air irritates respiratory passages and allows allergens to become more airborne, worsening existing allergy symptoms and sensitivities.
• Increased Static Electricity In The Air: Low humidity conditions create excessive static buildup, causing annoying shocks when touching surfaces and making hair stand up.
• Cracked Paint & Plaster: Dry air causes paint and plaster to lose moisture and flexibility, resulting in unsightly cracks and deterioration of surfaces.
• Peeling Wallpaper Or Artwork: Insufficient humidity makes adhesives brittle and paper materials contract, causing wallpaper and artwork to curl, peel, or separate.
• Hardwoods That Become Warped Or Shrink: Dry conditions cause wood to lose moisture content, leading to gaps between boards, warping, splitting, and structural damage.

A whole house humidifier increases moisture by sending water vapor into the air in the heating ducts. The humidity is monitored and regulated by the thermostat so that an even level of moisture is circulated into your home as needed.

The Pittsburgh’s Best Automatic Humidifier features “no touch” operation so that you don’t have to make adjustments. It delivers just the right amount of humidity into your home.
