How to Increase Your Albany Home's Humidity

November 23, 2015

Your home's humidity plays a major part in your family's coziness. As the weather changes, humidity levels vary as well.

Dry air during winter weather in Albany can make your throat and nose feel raspy. It can also put you at a increased risk for colds and other illnesses.

For greatest comfort, your rooms’ humidity levels should be between 35 and 50 percent.

Does your home’s air feel too dry as temperatures drop or too damp when temperatures rise? A whole-home humidifier from Roland J. Down Service Experts can help. We can help you discover the right option for your home during a free home comfort assessment.

5 Benefits of Balanced Home Humidity

Using a whole-home humidifier to raise moisture levels can help your home feel cozier at a lower temperature. This can save you more on utility costs.

2. Contributes to a Healthy Environment

Correct humidity levels help alleviate dry skin quickly. It also moisturizes your sinuses and nasal passages, helping relieve respiratory problems.

3. Preserves Your Flooring

Low humidity can ruin wood furniture, hardwood flooring and paint in your home.

Humidity that’s at the right level can limit the chance of static electricity and shocks.
