Humidifiers

Heating your home dries out the air. The resulting dry air absorbs moisture from you and everything inside your home. Even newer, tighter built homes will succumb to the negative effects of air that is too dry.

Relative Humidity (RH) indicates the amount of water vapor, in percent, actually in the air compared to the maximum amount that the air could hold under the same conditions. The warmer the air, the more moisture it can hold.

Air in the home heated to 70 ̊ F can hold about eight grains of moisture per cubic foot. That is 100% RH. If there are only two grains per cubic foot in the home, this is 1/4 of the air capacity or 25% RH.

So, what happens to the air when it’s heated? Your furnace will bring in outdoor air to be heated. During the winter months it’s very common to find outdoor RH at 70% and air temperature at +10 ̊ F. When this air is heated to 70 ̊ F, the indoor RH drops to 6%, this is similar dryness to desert conditions. The only solution is to add water vapor to the air – humidification.

There’s no need to experience the discomfort, health problems or damage to your home and furnishings caused by air that is too dry. Install an Aprilaire whole-home humidifier with Automatic Digital Control and you’ll never worry about proper humidity levels in your home again.
