Improve your Health with a Humidifier

Canada is a lovely country, but the harsh winter months can wreak havoc on your health. The dry air mixed with overuse of heating can lead to dry skin, lips, and mucus membranes. This can lead to bloody noses, sinus problems, excess snoring, and more. Using a humidifier in your home can add the moisture to the air you and your family require for a healthy winter.

Whole-house humidifiers by Consumers Energy Management are installed in your crawl space to add moisture to the air in your entire home. That way, you won’t have to set up a ton of portable humidifiers and hope they do the job.

The Health Benefits of a Humidifier

Dry air can affect your respiratory system and increase your chance of infection. When your mucus membranes become too dry, they cannot defend your body as well, leading you susceptible to catching a cold or other virus. Not only do humidifiers keep your immune system sharp; they also relieves the scratchy throat, congestion, and coughing associated with colds and other respiratory illnesses. Those with chronic respiratory problems, such as allergies and asthma, often experience flare-ups when the air gets too dry, and humidifiers can help to mitigate these problems. Humidifiers can also reduce the level of snoring in those who snore. Keeping the mucus membranes in the sinuses and other areas of the body moist, rather than drying them out, will keep you and your family healthier all season long, especially those susceptible to colds and respiratory problems.

It is not just respiratory illnesses that can be cured with humidifiers. They also help to keep the skin and lips hydrated. This reduces the common cracked, dry lips, hands, or other areas of your skin that occur during the winter that can sometimes become painful. Certain skin conditions, such as eczema and rosacea, become exacerbated by dry air, but a humidifier will help to reduce number of problems you experience during the winter.

Financial Benefits of a Humidifier

It is not just your health that can benefit from using a humidifier. Moist air retains the heat better than dry air, which means that a humidifier can keep your house feeling warmer without having to use as much heat. This lowers your energy consumption and heating bill. There are a variety of humidifiers on the market, but the professionals at Consumers Energy Management can help you to find the right match for your home and needs. When you place the system in your crawl space, you will forget it’s even there while you notice your home air quality improve drastically.
