Autumn, winter and part of spring bring with them the heating season. Apart from the pleasant and necessary warmth, this creates some challenges for the comfort of living in the house. One of the most common problems we encounter is too dry air. Is it worth taking care of humidifying the interior when the heating is on full speed?
One of the most important reasons to humidify the air indoors is the health of household members. A dry atmosphere can lead to irritation of the respiratory tract and promote the development of infections. Humidified air can effectively alleviate allergy symptoms by moisturizing the mucous membranes and keeping them in good condition.
Appropriate air humidity also affects the feeling of temperature. Humidified air usually feels warmer, which allows you to lower the temperature in rooms without losing thermal comfort. This, in turn, may help to reduce energy bills because we will not have to maintain such a high temperature.
Too dry air can harm not only your health, but also furniture and musical instruments. Wood, from which furniture and instruments are often made, may crack and deform in a dry environment. Air humidification protects our property against the adverse effects of low humidity.
Electronic devices such as computers and televisions also function better in an environment with appropriate humidity. A dry atmosphere can lead to the build-up of static electricity, which in turn can increase the risk of equipment damage.
If you have potted plants at home, it is worth ensuring adequate air humidity. During the heating season, when the air is usually dry, plants may require additional humidification. A humid environment promotes their healthy growth and flowering.
Humidifying the air indoors during the heating season is an investment in the health, comfort and durability of our things. There are many humidification methods, from simple humidifiers to natural solutions such as placing a container of water on a radiator. It is also worth remembering to air the rooms regularly, which will help maintain appropriate air quality.
