The air inside your house may be unsafe to breathe. You may not believe what your breathing until you actually see it. Indoor air is up to 70 times more polluted than outdoor air. The EPA ranks poor indoor air quality in the top 5 environmental problems in the nation. These pollutants can make you extremely sick.

There are particles that may be too small to be seen by the naked eye, but large enough to cause problems. Some particles may stain furniture, walls, drapes, and carpet. Some particles coat the inner workings of your heating and cooling equipment, which reduce its efficiency. Fortunately, indoor air pollution can be reduced through ventilation and air filtration. An effective way to filter out particles in the air you breathe is through a HEPA type media filter. This device can capture over 90% of the particles from the air that passes through it.

In addition to the unseen particles in your house, dry air can also cause damage to your home. There are few places on the earth that are drier than the Sahara Desert. Unfortunately, one of them is in your home! The warm, dry air inside your home is similar to a giant sponge that soaks up moisture from everything it comes in contact with. The uncomfortable results are: clogged sinuses, dry skin, chapped lips, and static shocks. Hardwood floors separate and banisters wobble. Drawers loosen; woodwork and furniture warp and crack as the desert dry indoor air sucks moisture out. Studies show that during the coldest days of the winter, the relative humidity inside the average home can become as low as 15%. The Sahara, on the other hand, carries the average of about 25% humidity. A whole-house humidifier will replenish the moisture in the air, automatically in a safe, water vapor form (this means no droplets or mist). These humidifiers are controlled by a humidistat that monitors the humidity level in the home and maintains the humidity at the desired setting; thereby adding moisture only as needed, automatically.
