During the colder months, air in your home can become extremely dry. Some sure signs of this occurrence is the presence of dry skin, nose bleeds, chapped lips and static electricity. Adding a humidifier to your existing heating system is the solution.

If you have duct-work in your home, you have the means of distributing moister, more comfortable air throughout the living space. A humidifier is simply a device which injects moisture into the air as it passes through the ducts. The humidistat monitors the level of humidity in your home by communicating with the humidifier, just like the thermostat monitors temperature by communicating with the heating and cooling system.

Humidifiers operate only when your system is in heat mode and the blower is running. Maintenance is simple, requiring the replacement of the water panel yearly, which can be easily added to your maintenance plan.

Some advantages of a humidifier are:

• Efficiency and Comfort B compared to dry air, moist air feels warmer, allowing you to lower your thermostat setting
• Elimination of dry skin
• Less dryness and cracking on wood furniture, hardwood floors and trim
