Something’s in the Air
Humidity level vital to home comfort
There’s more to indoor air quality than a good heating and cooling system. Though often overlooked by homeowners, humidity plays an important role in attaining and maintaining proper indoor air quality.
“For many years, homeowners have expected their central heating and air conditioning to make their homes comfortable by either heating or cooling the space. However, there is more to indoor comfort than temperature,” says Jennifer Shelby, Certified Indoor Environmentalist and Product Manager for Lennox Industries. “Humidity control is a tremendous opportunity, not only to improve comfort in the home, but also to improve the overall air quality in the home. Too much humidity can turn a home into
a breeding ground for contaminants such as mold, mildew and bacteria, and too little humidity can cause sinus inflammation,
sore throat and, of course, those annoying static shocks.”
Monitoring humidity levels in your home is an important step in improving and maintaining high indoor air quality. The Humiditrol® Whole-Home Dehumidifier System controls humidity throughout the home by removing moisture from sticky indoor air.
The result is a healthier, more comfortable environment. Drier air feels cooler too, so you can set your thermostat higher and save on your cooling bill.
