Humidification Systems For Your Home
The process of adding moisture to the air is one of the most important aspects of total indoor comfort, yet it’s one of the least understood. Maybe this is because people associate humidity with the discomfort of hot, steamy summer days. And it’s true; too much humidity can cause problems.
However, when properly controlled, humidity offers many proven benefits to your health, home, and comfort. Our licensed HVAC technicians here at Argus Air Systems Inc. are trained and qualified to perform installation and repair tasks within CT.

Benefits
Benefits of A Home Humidification System
A humidifier is a device that increases humidity (moisture) in a single room or an entire building. In the home, point-of-use humidifiers are commonly used to humidify a single room, while whole-house or furnace humidifiers, which connect to a home’s HVAC system, provide humidity to the entire house.
Using an Aprilaire Whole-Home Humidifier is one of the most effective ways to add the proper amount of humidity to your indoor space and prevent the problems caused by dry air.

Reasons
Reasons To Consider Getting A Humidification System Installed
Reduction of Relative Humidity Causes Dry Air
This problem is especially prevalent during the winter heating season. This is because the relative humidity (RH) of the cold, outdoor air drops significantly when brought into your home and heated.
Dry Air Can Damage Your Family’s Health and Home
Physicians and other experts often recommend humidity control to prevent the damaging effects of dry air caused by low relative humidity.
Low humidity can increase your likelihood of getting colds, the flu, and other upper respiratory ailments. Viruses that cause colds and the flu thrive in low humidity. Additionally, according to The American Society of Otolaryngology, dry air can make people more susceptible to infection. Moreover, drier air can aggravate allergy and asthma symptoms.
Low humidity can also generate home damage. It causes walls, woodwork, and hardwood floors to crack. Electronics can fall victim to static electric charges, requiring expensive repair or replacement. Higher energy costs can also be a consequence of low humidity levels. Low humidity can make you feel too cold at normal temperatures leading you to turn up the thermostat. This leads to higher energy bills.

Other Issues Low Humidity Can Cause
Excessively low, dry desert climates or indoor humidity may occur in hot, artificially heated spaces. During the winter months, when the cold outside air is heated indoors, the humidity may drop as low as 10-20%, leading to adverse health effects. Low humidity levels can also affect wooden furniture, causing shrinkage and loose joints or cracking of pieces. Books, papers, and artworks may shrink or warp and become brittle.
In addition, static electricity may become a problem in conditions of low humidity, destroying semiconductor devices, causing annoying static cling of textiles, and forcing dust and small particles to stick stubbornly to electrically charged surfaces.
