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.

They've cleaned my furnace a couple of times and mentioned that the hot water tank standards were going to change soon so I decided to change mine out.
There were a few challenges during the process but the installers handled the problems without missing a stride! I now have really hot water again!

Customer service and knowledge is priority in this industry, and Twintech has it. I've dealt with their team for maintenance and a furnace replacement. They're accommodating and make great recommendations, and came through at a great price over the big guys in the industry. They'll be my next call when I need service or maintenance.

I decided that the noises and age of the existing furnace which was old and not very efficient to replace it. Gave Greg a call and Grant and Greg got to work on it. Because of supply issues with the current heating type that would be an easier install Greg convinced me to change the location of the system and it would provide me better service for heat and efficiency. I had skeptical but went ahead anyway putting trust in Greg And Grant. Greg, Grant and Mitch came through and in 2 days had completely relocated my heating and A/C system. I can honestly say Greg was right my old house has been warmer and more evenly heated as it ever was. For anyone reading this rather long winded review can take my word for it, Twin Tech can take care of your needs.

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!!

Great Team! Furnace broke in the weekend, Bob visited same day and Greg installed new one on Monday. Team was professional, respectful and knowledgeable. Installation went very well, Greg found solutions to challenges, like hiding new conduits in the ceiling. Looks nice and new furnace is working great. Five Stars.

I used Twintech to install a new furnace for my home. Bob was terrific in explaining the sizing options and why the 2 stage furnace was the best option for me. Greg did a great job installing, clean and on time. Finished work looks great but the best part is how it works. The 2 stage heating is so much more comfortable. I run the fan continuously to keep the indoor air clean. Great investment! Would highly recommendTwintech!

Im going to start this by saying Im a very particular customer. My background is in mathematics and mechanical engineering so I have an eye for detail and a respect for technical knowledge.
Greg had already done an AC inspection and replaced a water heater tank and there was no question in my mind who to deal with replacing my rickety old furnace after it got pooched.
Bob dropped in ahead of time and clearly (and knowledgeably) outlined all technical, price and operational options.
Greg showed up on time, on the agreed date and did a fantastic job. (The OLD furnace was a house of horrors and was installed in a keystone cops sort of way- careless.)
The work Greg did was HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL and FAR MORE FUNCTIONAL than what I had.
Im also a musician with many instruments so maintaining predictable humidity/temperature is extremely important to me. Greg recognized this as did Bob. You NEVER feel like youre being brushed off.
In summary, if youre looking for PROFESSIONAL, QUALITY results by an EXPERIENCED, THOUGHTFUL team
(that also happen to be FRIENDLY and ATTENTIVE ) then youve come to the right page!!

I had a problem with the Furnace (Armstrong ultra V) and Greg diagnosed it on the phone. Even told me what the issue was and I was able to fix it. This level of service from a Business that is almost unknown today.
If you require service, reach out to Greg. I will definitely use them in the future!
