Everyone knows that cold weather can mean dry noses, scratchy throats, and itchy skin. But discomfort is just the beginning: Dry air is more expensive to heat, and it can be damaging to your home.
More expensive to heat?
That's right. The old quip "It's not the heat, it's the humidity" refers to the summertime phenomenon of "humid = hot", and "dry = cool". The same is true in the winter: Dry air feels cold in the winter, and humid air feels warm. So you don't have to heat it as much to get comfortable. You can actually turn the thermostat down a couple of degrees and still feel comfortable when you install a central humidifier. And don't forget that hardwood furniture, cabinetry and even floors tend to shrink and crack in the dry winter air.
Bantam Fuel can provide you with an easy, economical way to add humidity to your home, with an Aprilaire Automatic Humidifier. These computer-equipped humidifiers work with your hot air furnace to ensure the optimum level of indoor humidity all winter long, delivering up to 50% more moisture than other humidifiers.
Request a no-cost, no-obligation inspection to see if Central Humidification is suitable for your home.
