More Humidity Can Help Lower Your Jasper Heating Costs

If you’re tired of getting zapped all over your home from static electricity, there are some pretty simply ways to avoid.

But let’s start with the best solution of all:  a whole-house humidity control system.  Here’s how it can help you and your family:

• A whole-house system provides more humidity in the winter when your indoor air is drier than normal.
• By adding moisture into the air, indoor air quality is improved which is especially important for members of your family who suffer from allergies or asthma.
• Overly dry air also causes wood to shrink, dry out and eventually crack.
• Dry air can damage musical instruments along with artwork and photos.
• Moistened air helps prevent dry skin and nose bleeding.
• And yes, with a whole-house humidification system working for you, static electricity shocks will dramatically decrease or disappear altogether.

And how, exactly does moister air contribute to lower heating costs?  Moist air feels warmer than dry air, so with a whole-house humidity control system attached to directly to your furnace or combined heating and cooling system, you’ll enjoy the same level of comfort at a lower thermostat setting.

Come summer time, your humidity control system works in reverse to remove excess moisture from the air, and that’s a topic we’ll cover in a future blog.

In the meantime, if you’d like more information on a humidity control system and other ways to cut your heating costs, contact Messmer Mechanical.  We have solutions you can live with – very, very comfortably.
