Heating and Cooling Provider Offers Furnace Air Humidifier

(Newswire.net -- September 5, 2017) Joliet, IL -- PDM Plumbing, Heating & Cooling believes homeowners and occupants of commercial buildings should be aware the heating and air conditioning systems they have in their homes and buildings do more than control interior temperatures. They also dry out the air to uncomfortable and unhealthy levels. The solution could be as easy as installing a whole house humidifier in Illinois.

“We’ve built our business and reputation over the past 132 years by giving our commercial, residential, government and other customers superior service, including making the latest technologies available to make their lives better,” according to a PDM Plumbing, Heating & Cooling spokesman. “After installing a furnace humidifier in Joliet IL, a family or the occupants of a commercial facility will experience the difference humidified air makes on their health and on how comfortable their indoor environment suddenly feels.”

Low humidity levels can increase a person’s likelihood of getting colds, the flu and respiratory ailments. For individuals with allergies and asthma, dry air can aggravate the symptoms. Other health issues associated with low-humidity include: bloody noses; sore throats; itchy and cracked skin; and dry, itchy eyes. 

As humidity levels drop and air dries, it causes your skin to dry through the process of evaporation. Moisture evaporating from your skin causes you to feel cooler. During winter months, the natural response to feeling cooler is to raise your thermostat to heat the air and dry it out even more. Not only does it make you feel uncomfortable, but it also increases energy bills by causing your heating system to work more.

Adding moisture to the indoor air you breathe has health benefits in addition to making your indoor environment more comfortable and lowering heating bills. However, letting the air dry out too much is not the answer to safe and healthy air quality. Maintaining the proper humidity levels in your home or office benefits not only your skin, sinuses and respiratory system, but you will also see how it prevents wood floors and furniture from drying out and cracking.

The technical staff at PDM Plumbing, Heating & Cooling advises residential and commercial customers that the key to healthy and comfortable interior environments is controlling humidity levels, particularly during winter months. When HVAC systems draw cold outdoor air into buildings and heat it, this process reduces the air’s relative humidity. Installing Aprilaire and Honeywell humidifiers controls indoor relative humidity for a healthier, energy efficient and comfortable lifestyle.
