Benefits of a Humidifier
Posted On: April 8, 2020
Have you ever found the air in your home to be stuffy, do you or your family suffer from dry skin or have a cough that won't go away? If the answer is yes, then you need a humidifier.
Humidifiers work by adding moisture to the air, and they should be used in both the winter and summer months when the furnace and air conditioner are on the most.
While we often associate humidity as being uncomfortable, especially when outside during the summer, it can be beneficial to your home. But it's important to remember that too much moisture can have the opposite effect, a safe level should be around 30-50 percent. Some central humidifiers are equipped with a tool that will measure humidity levels.
Humidifiers can help relieve the following symptoms associated with dry air.
- Dry skin
- Sinus congestion and headaches
- Dry coughs
- Cracked lips
- Nose irritation
They can also promote better sleep by keeping your airways from drying out.
The most common humidifiers used in homes are console and portable units. Console units are large and usually have wheels so they can be easily moved from room to room.
Personal humidifiers are smaller in size, and they are used in bedrooms and when traveling.
It is important to know that safety around humidifiers is essential; burns are common with these units, so be sure to keep them away from young children. You should clean the bucket and filter with soap and water every three days to prevent bacterial growth and always use distilled or demineralized water when filling the unit.
To keep your family healthy, you should also regularly change the filter in your heating and cooling unit.
There are many brands of humidifiers out there, some of them ranging from inexpensive to expensive. When shopping for a unit, it's always best to look around and compare.

We are very happy to recommend this company to everyone. Our furnace broke down on Sunday morning. We phoned them and before noon Grant the owner showed up. He worked on the furnace for about a hour not wanting to give up to fix the problem. The furnace was 17 years old. I was the one talking about replacing it. End result was the next day it was all done. On the Sunday Bob came over with heaters to warm up the house. We decided to replace the water heater at the same time. Thanks Grant for the excellent work. Thumbs up.

Right on time. Explained how to work the HRV in a different way so the house would not be so dry. Changed my whole house water filter for me as well. Friendly, helpful, caring service!

TwinTech is an excellent and honest company! I called them for a second opinion after being told by another company that I needed to replace my furnace. Turns out this was not the case at all! I did not need a new furnace. TwinTech did not push to make an unnecessary sale and saved me from a huge expense. Bob and Mitch were extremely professional and above all honest! I definitely recommend TwinTech!

I called Twin Tech when my air conditioning stopped working. Greg came over to diagnose the issue - the same day. He was able to diagnose the issue and resolve it quite quickly. Although it was a quick fix, Greg was very thorough in explaining the issue and provided great advice. Not to mention, I felt very comfortable having Greg in my home - which I consider very important when hiring a service provider. Twin Tech will be my go-to from now on. Thank you!!
