Hot summer air usually has high humidity, and a person’s ability to throw off heat by evaporation decreases or stops altogether. Cooling is needed then to provide comfort by extracting excessive moisture from the air. During the winter, the condition is reversed. Cold outside air, heated to room temperature, has great ability to hold extra moisture. For example, air at 70F can hold about 20 times as much as air at 0F. Heated wintertime air takes moisture from whatever sources are available, including the human body. If the air in your home does not contain enough moisture, you may feel cold and uncomfortable – even at 75F.

One reason is that humidity is an intangible. It can’t be seen, touched, or smelled. It has no color or sound. But its presence, when properly controlled, offers many proven benefits. Humidification during the heating season not only adds to human comfort, but it helps to protect your home and its furnishings from the harmful effects of air that is too dry. In addition, it reduces undesirable wintertime static electricity.
