HUMIDIFICATION – the process of adding moisture to the air is one of the most important aspects of total indoor air comfort, yet it is one of the least understood. Humidity is an intangible, that`s one reason. It can’t be seen, touched, or smelled. It has no color or sound. But its presence, when properly controlled, offers many proven benefits. Humidification during the furnace heating season not only adds to your comfort, but it helps to protect your home and its furnishings from the harmful effects of dry air. In addition, it also reduces undesirable wintertime static shocks around the home. The popularity of home humidification has grown rapidly in recent years. Many contractors now install a humidifier as standard equipment with all new installations. This recognizes the fact that more and more homeowners are becoming aware of the “Total Indoor Air Comfort” concept, or Indoor Air Quality. The evidence of air that is too dry is easy to identify. In addition to making one feel uncomfortable, the dry air “steals” moisture from plaster, wood, glue and fabrics. Over a period of time this can result in cracks in walls, ceilings, loose furniture joints and flooring, shrinking moldings, and loosened wallpaper. Leather dries out, oil paintings crack, house plants tend to wilt, and the piano goes out of tune. Excessive static electric shock is still another problem. The type of heating in the home doesn’t make any difference. The same types of damaging effects are present whenever outdoor air is brought inside and heated. It’s quite a common belief that humidification isn’t needed in a home heated by hot water or steam. Hot water or steam heat can’t add moisture to the air. Neither can any other kind. It is the fact that air is heated that is important, not how it’s heated. If your home is heated, your home needs humidification to maintain proper humidity levels.
Protect your family and your home from the unhealthy and damaging effects of over-dry air. Dry nose, cracked, itchy skin, and sore throats. Aggravated allergy and asthma symptoms. Painful static shocks. Chipping paint and plaster. Splitting or cracked wood floors, furniture, trim and molding. Sound familiar? Why go through another season with these problems when there is a solution—an Aprilaire Whole-Home Humidifier.
How It Works An Aprilaire Whole-House Humidifier is installed directly to your central new or existing heating and cooling system. Humidity is introduced into your home’s air in the form of water vapor, which prevents minerals from entering the air in your home and potentially into your lungs. Water is supplied to the distribution tray, allowing it to flow evenly across the Aprilaire Water Panel®. The resulting humidified air is then distributed via your heating and cooling system duct work throughout your home.
Why Aprilaire Whole-Home Humidifiers? Aprilaire Whole-House Humidifiers were introduced in 1954 as the first evaporative, flow-through design humidifiers. That’s right—we invented the very first, truly effective, whole-home humidifier. Since then, Aprilaire Humidifiers have been imitated—but never duplicated—and continue to lead the way in whole-house humidification systems. And only Aprilaire offers fully Automatic Digital Humidifier Control to monitor outdoor temperature and indoor humidity levels while providing convenient troubleshooting and maintenance reminders.
Whole-Home Humidification vs. Portable
Too much humidity can be as much of a problem as too little humidity. Unlike portable units the Aprilaire Whole-Home Humidifier continually monitors relative humidity levels in your home, then works to deliver the right amount of moisture never too much or too little to your entire house. Aprilaire Humidifiers don't require the daily cleaning and disinfecting that many portable units require and you never need to worry about the risk of microbial organism growth due to standing water.
Turning your temperature up in the wintertime will keep you warm but
won’t increase your home’s humidity level. Daily activities such as
showering, cooking and doing laundry don’t produce enough moisture to
keep your home’s air from being too dry. According to medical experts,
many viruses thrive in low humidity increasing the likelihood of
catching colds, flu and upper respiratory ailments. The American
Society of Otolaryngology even reports that it is important to prevent
an overly dry environment because it makes people more susceptible to
infection.
A Whole-Home Humidifier from Aprilaire,
installed by your heating and cooling professional, will deliver the
perfect amount of moisture to your air making you feel more comfortable
at lower thermostat settings. In fact, the EPA states that you can save
up to 4% on your heating bill for every degree you lower your
thermostat!Increase your family’s
level of comfort and protect your valuable furnishings by adding just
the right amount of moisture with an Aprilaire Whole-House Humidifier.
“If too dry an environment is your problem, consider a
humidifier. Clues like awakening with a sore throat, dryness in your
nose, or even a nose bleed are signs of too little humidity.”
Core Benefits Every Aprilaire product provides these important key benefits for your family and home.
Health An Aprilaire Whole-House Humidifier can reduce the chance of upper respiratory problems. “Humidity reduces the incidence of respiratory infections and speeds recovery from the common cold.”—William J. Hitschler, MD, Archives of Otolaryngology. Comfort When the air in your home becomes too dry, your body is robbed of precious moisture, leaving you and your family with dry, itchy skin, and dry nose and throat symptoms. An Aprilaire Whole-House Humidifier can help alleviate all of these uncomfortable symptoms and more. Protection Dry air pulls moisture from walls and hardwood floors which leads to damaging, unsightly cracks. Valuable furniture, artwork and electronics are also subject to the adverse effects of dry air. An Aprilaire Whole-House Humidifier can help protect your home and its contents by supplying the correct amount of moisture to your home’s air. Energy Savings Most homeowners turn up the thermostat because they feel cold. An Aprilaire Whole-House Humidifier allows you to feel warmer at lower thermostat settings, saving up to 4% on your heating bill for every degree you lower your thermostat, according to the EPA.
