In some parts of the country, high levels of humidity are a problem. Summers are sweltering, and the moisture makes the heat feel even worse. And beyond that, the wet can cause all kinds of problems, like rotting wood structures in homes. But in Montana, we\u2019re not known for having high humidity, especially in the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, in our area, it\u2019s low humidity that causes more problems. You might find that a humidifier can help you with many of the issues you encounter in the winter. We\u2019ll share 7 benefits of getting a whole house humidifier in Polson, MT<\/a> installed as part of your home\u2019s HVAC system. Check this out! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Better Warmth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dry air simply feels colder than air that has more water vapor in it, because the water vapor is the part of the air that\u2019s best at holding heat. With adequate humidity, you\u2019ll feel more comfortable and cozy during the winter. You\u2019ll even be able to lower your thermostat, and it will seem just as warm in your home at the decreased temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Energy Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What happens if you lower your thermostat? Your heat won\u2019t have to run as much. That means that whatever energy source you use for heating, such as natural gas or electricity, you\u2019ll use less of it. This is fantastic, as heating is the largest use of energy in your home. Your energy bills will go down, and you\u2019ll be doing the environment a favor, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Heating System Preservation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When your heating system doesn\u2019t have to run quite as much, it won\u2019t accumulate as much wear and tear to its various components. It will be less likely to have a part wear out and need to be replaced or to break down. And a heating system that gets less use can keep running for more winters! You can put off the costly investment of heating system replacement much longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Even Humidity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a whole house humidifier, it won\u2019t just be better at providing enough<\/em> humidity for your home than a small portable unit would. It will also provide that humidity evenly<\/em>, to all the air that circulates through your home, because it will be connected to your ductwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Precise Control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While portable humidifiers do have controls, they almost never offer precise readouts of the current humidity or the ability to control the amount of moisture in the air to a specific percentage. With a good whole house humidifier, you\u2019ll be able to figure out exactly what works best for you and keep your home at that humidity level exactly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Improved Comfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not just that you\u2019ll be feeling cozier. The dry air can wreak havoc on many things and leave you in discomfort. With a whole house humidifier, you will have softer skin with less itching. Your hair will be smoother and less damaged. And you\u2019ll even experience fewer static shocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Home Wellbeing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your home and your furniture are mostly made of substances that do best when they don\u2019t dry out too completely. A humidifier can prevent cracked wooden furniture, warped floorboards and doors, brittle and crackly wallpaper, and even reduce creaking noises. Furthermore, if you play any instruments made of wood, such as a guitar, violin, piano, or a woodwind, a humidifier can keep them in better condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
