When homeowners are cold most will turn up their heat.  A whole home humidifier will help you feel warmer at lower temperatures settings.  In fact, according to the EPA, you can save up to 4% on your heating bills for every degree you lower your thermostat. 

There are also core benefits for whole home humidification.  These include:

• HEALTH: 
• A whole home humidifier can reduce the chance of upper respiratory problems according to the Archives of Otolaryngology.
• COMFORT:
• When the air in your home is too dry, your body is robbed of precious moisture, leaving you and your family with dry itchy skin, and dry nose and throat symptoms.  A whole home humidifier can alleviate these uncomfortable symptoms and more.
• PROTECTION:
• Dry air pulls moisture from the walls and hardwood floors which leads to damaging and unsightly cracks.  Valuable furniture, artwork and electronics are also subject to the adverse affects of dry air.  A whole home humidifier can help protect your home and its contents by supplying the right amount of moisture into your home's air.
• ENERGY SAVINGS
• The correct amount of moisture in your home's air will allow you to feel warmer at lower temperatures.  In fact, the EPA states that you can save up to 4% on your heating bill for every degree you lower your thermostat.
