For those who have long, brutal winter seasons you need to consider your air quality.
- The longer your home is sealed up tight, the more time that same, stale air is recirculating.
They say we spend 90% of our days indoors. It is also around five times more polluted. That is a long time to be breathing in gross air. The Minneapolis, MN winter season is no joke. Basically most of our lives it is cold. Most of the time everything has to be sealed up with the heater running on high. Our air conditioner is merely decorative most of the year. All that ample amount of heat tends to try out the air. Then what do you do? Dry air quality causes chapped lips, bloody noses, irritated skin, and nasal issues. It also causes wood to split and crack. You can even experience issues with electronics. A humidifier is a cheap, easy installation that can make a huge difference for those in Minnesota. A humidifier can be installed right into the furnace or central heater to instantly introduce moisture into the air quality. What does moisture do? Well for one it makes the air feel warmer. I am able to lower my thermostat in the winter due to feeling that much more comfortable. The added moisture also is better for skin and health. You don’t get any of that horrible dry feeling anymore. The maine on a humidifier is a once a year thing done by a Minnesota heating business. So it is easy and not that big of a deal to make this upgrade.
