A humidifier helps get rid of dry air
Winter is a wonderful time of the year where everywhere you look there is snow and calmness.
Well, at times you experience blizzards and snowstorms.
But, it’s beautiful when the landscape turns white and you can play in the snow. In millions of homes across the country, the heaters come on when the temperatures start to drop. Some places, heating systems start working during fall when the evenings are chilly. I have always loved winter since I was a kid, and playing in the snow is something I love doing with my kids. However, one issue I have with the cold season, and the fact that I have to use a furnace in my house, is the dry air. When we warm our homes using heating systems, this is a good thing that keeps us comfortable and safe. But, dry air can affect your well-being and is one of the main reasons I now own a humidifier. When I first purchased my home, I didn’t own a humidifier, but it became clear during my first winter that I had to invest in one. The dry air was so severe that it sent me to the hospital with watery eyes, cracked lips and dry sinuses. The physician who checked me out asked some questions and said it was time to get a humidifier. Dry air was causing me to experience the symptoms. He went on to add that this would only continue to get worse if I didn’t improve the humidity levels in my home. Who knew that low humidity levels was also an issue in our homes.
