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.
At Twintech, we are always here to help, whether it's a heating and cooling problem or an issue with your water heater. All you need to do is give us a call at 1-844-894-6832, we will answer any questions you may have.

I had cold and hot spots all over my 70 yr old home. My furnace is quite new and Greg optimized the fan and furnace. The original installer just took it out of the box with factory settings and installed it- basically running at 50% of capacity. Greg also routed heat into my laundry room, yeah - so now I can renovate laundry room - thanks Greg. He is honest, professional and knowledgeable. I will be calling him back in the spring to optimize my AC as well.

Wonderful from beginning to end. I tend to fret and worry about home improvements but the excellent team at TwinTech put my mind as ease. They listen, they are patient and best of all ... the work they did is amazing! I chose the Goodman 80K BTU 2 stage furnace and the matching Goodman air conditioner. Greg, Grant and Poitr "Peter" arrived on time, took great care, explained everything to me and they answered all of my questions. They carefully adjusted the factory settings to optimize the furnace for my house and they also checked the duct work in the basement. Dave, the Sales Manager, came by to say "hello" and to see if I was happy. YES, I am happy with the work! The furnace is very quiet. I have it running on low just to circulate the air in the house and it's so much quieter than my old furnace. When I need new duct work for an upcoming basement renovation TwinTech will be my first choice. I highly recommend TwinTech. PS. They were even nice to my dogs.

Greg was prompt on the scheduled day of installation and the work was done well within the time estimated beforehand. Installation was neat and the equipment and scope of work was as specified in the quote. One item I must point out is that we were faced with a "No Heat" situation the day before the scheduled installation and Greg came out to address it free of charge. Not only that, but he also corrected an installation fault with our smart thermostat that was not part of the original job, again free of charge.

Greg came by to do a routine furnace checkup. He was very knowledgeable and professional, letting me know what's being checked/adjusted and giving me tips to ensure everything runs smooth. Very honest and upfront about what's working fine vs. what may need to be fixed/replaced. He didn't attempt to up sell anything that wasn't necessary. I'm glad to have finally found someone I can trust and rely on for all my HVAC needs - furnace, A/C, and hot water tank.

I'm very happy with the work that was done. Everyone from salesperson to the installers were friendly and professional. They were on time and cleaned up the job site after it was installed. They also answered all my follow up questions promptly. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them or recommend them again.

Thanks to the team at Twin Tech for a great job installing my new heat pump/ac unit. The guys were very polite and professional. When they left you would never have known they had been there except for the new Mitsubishi unit on the wall!! would highly recommend the Twin Tech team.

Very impressed with this company. They show up on time , kept my place clean and after they left it looks like they were never there. Very professional team. Those people know what they doing . Their installation was on the highest standard. They are very knowledgeable especially they're worker Peter. I strongly recommend this company to everybody.

Greg and his brother were referred to us by a friend. They arrived when they said they would, did an exceptional job and left the place as tidy or tidier then they found it. Their professionalism is only surpassed by their kind and friendly demeanor. Even after several calls to help me with my high tech thermostat I feel that I could always call with any concern (No one responds to my texts as quickly as Greg) and have a friendly helpful response. I found out their grandfather started the company and now as a 3rd generation company, they are doing their grandfather proud. I would highly recommend Twintech over any other hvac company out there.
