Maintain Healthy Levels of Humidity in Your Home
Dry air is a common issue faced by many Chicagoland homeowners during the winter months. As cold air has a lower capacity to hold moisture compared to warm summer air, the humidity levels drop significantly.
Furthermore, indoor heating systems exacerbate the problem by extracting any remaining moisture from the air, resulting in extremely dry conditions inside your home from October through April.
To combat this issue, consider hiring ABC Plumbing, Sewer, Heating, Cooling and Electric to install a whole-house humidifier. This solution offers the benefits of a portable humidifier but ensures that every room in your home receives an even distribution of humidified air, creating a more comfortable living environment.

Problems with Low Indoor Humidity
If you don’t have a whole-house humidifier, chances are you’ve experienced some of these problems with low indoor humidity:
- Lingering illnesses: There’s a reason why winter is cold and flu season. First of all, very few droplets hang in the air, which allows bacteria and viruses travel with ease. Then, membranes in your nose and throat dry out, permitting more germs to make it into your lungs. These combined issues make it easier for you to get sick and stay sick longer.
- Chapped lips and itchy skin: Your skin is over half water, so when the air is dry, you may experience itching, flaking, and painful cracking of your skin and lips. These comfort problems leave you reaching for the lip balm and lotion all winter long.
- Static shock: Static electricity heightens in the winter when indoor air is at its driest. This causes your clothes to stick to your body and your hair to stand on end. It also results in painful static shocks when you touch a doorknob or pet the cat. Static shock can fry sensitive electronic equipment.
- Damage to wood furnishings: Dry winter air saps the moisture out of everything in your home. As an organic material, wood is especially vulnerable. Hardwood floors may crack, cupboard doors might warp, and musical instruments can lose their tune as the humidity drops.
A Whole-House Humidifier Can Benefit Your Home!
The best solution for dry air is to install a whole-house humidification system. This device works in tandem with your furnace, adding mist to the heated air that circulates around your home. A humidistat ensures the unit delivers just the right amount of moisture to bring the relative humidity to between 30 and 50 percent. This is the ideal range to maximize home comfort all winter long.
ABC is a leading expert in indoor humidity control. We’re here to help Chicagoland homeowners feel more comfortable in a properly humidified home. Let our indoor air quality experts evaluate your situation and design and install a Honeywell or Aprilaire humidifier to suit your needs. When you do, you can expect to enjoy these benefits:
- Better health: Higher moisture content in the air keeps your nose and throat moist, making it more difficult for bacteria and viruses to get around. This helps you and your family stay healthy in the winter.
- Improved comfort: Properly humidified air keeps your nasal passages, skin, and lips healthy and moist so you feel more comfortable.
- Lower heating bills: When the air is dry, moisture readily evaporates from your skin. Since evaporation has a cooling effect, you feel the need to turn up the thermostat. On the other hand, properly humidified air keeps moisture on your skin where it belongs, making you feel more comfortable at a lower temperature and therefore decreasing your heating bills.
- Preserved furnishings: Protect your wood floors, furniture, artwork, electronics, and musical instruments by adding the right amount of moisture to the air with a whole-house humidifier.
