How can air humidifiers help you keep your indoors comfortable during winter?

When bad weather strikes, people tend to worry more about what is happening inside than outside, even though indoor air tends to be worse for you and your family.

When the temperature starts to drop, we become more aware of the insulation cracks that frequently let chilly draughts into the home since homes are constructed to keep heat in during the winter and out during the summer.

Therefore, additional insulation is put in place to promote comfort (or so we assume) and keep the outside cold from entering our houses.

This increases the chance of air pollutants and isolates the house from any outside fresh air. These contaminants congregate and grow rapidly because they thrive in wetness when they can’t leave the dwelling.

Dust mites, mould spores, and other contaminants fall under this category and can quickly wreak havoc on people who already have respiratory issues and compromised immune systems.

How Do You Know If Your Indoor Air Quality Is Unhealthy?

It is essential to regulate and maintain the proper amount of humidity in the house since the effects that poor indoor air quality may have on a home and the people who live in it can result in acute and chronic diseases, and in severe cases, fatalities.

In contrast to how inadequate humidity can result in discomforts like dry, itchy skin, dry eyes, and cracked lips, excessive wetness can result in serious health problems including Asthma and allergies, Coughing, Dizziness, Headache, Symptoms of the flu, Nausea, Breathlessness, Sinus, Congestion, etc.

The Benefits of Using a Humidifier in the Winter

More than one winter-related issue can benefit greatly from humidifiers. Here are three advantages of using a humidifier during the chilly winter months: –

1. Snoring Prevention

People who breathe through their mouths find it impossible to avoid dryness, especially when they sleep. The use of a humidifier can assist in creating a more comfortable sleep environment, as well as reduce snoring. 

By using a humidifier throughout the day, you can avoid snoring irritation by keeping your throat moist. Humidifiers are a great way to protect your overall health during the harsh winter months.

2. Limits Infection Risk

In humid air, bacteria and viruses cannot spread as easily. For example, In research found that raising the humidity levels in your home to 43% or higher significantly reduced the potential for airborne viruses to lead to flu-related diseases.

However, when humidity levels were raised to 43% or above, the risk of virus-induced disorders drastically decreased to just 14% from 70% to 77% when compared to low humidity environments.

3. Defends Against Dry Skin by Moisturizing

Dry, cold air destroys your skin’s moisture, resulting in dryness, flaking, dullness, and premature ageing. During the winter, humidifiers can help treat those issues. Humidity levels inside furnace-heated homes can fall to less than 10%. 

With humidifiers, valuable moisture is returned to the skin and air, preventing all these harmful effects, and maintaining that healthy, vibrant look during the holidays.

Types of Humidifiers for Winter

Humidifiers come in a variety of sizes to accommodate the many use cases and tasks that these devices must carry out. The many kinds are as follows:

A Final Note
