Our Services - Calgary Humidifiers
In winter, when we heat our Calgary homes, the air dries out dramatically. Your home may be drier than the Sahara desert in the winter! Exaggerated you say? Well, if the outside temperature is just 1 degree Fahrenheit with a 60% relativehumidity, heating it to 22 degrees Fahrenheit will drop the humidity to 15%. By comparison the average humidity in the Sahara is 25%. Now that's dry!
Dry Air In Your Calgary Home Can Lead To A Host Of Problems, Such As:
- Excessive static electricity
- Viral infections, such as cold and the flu
- Agitation of asthma and allergy problems
- Rashes, chapped lips and dry skin
- Cracks in wood floors
- Shrinkage in wood furnishings
- Gaps in moldings
- Wallpaper peeling at the corners
- Loose drawers
- Out of tune piano
The best solution is to use an automatic furnace central humidifier that will maintain indoor humidity at the optimum level.
How Do Automatic Humidifiers Work?
We will mount a humidistat inside your home and a humidifier on your furnace or duct system. You dial in your desired level of humidity (i.e. 30% to 40% is recommended), the humidistat measures the humidity in the surrounding air, and adds moisture if the humidity is low. It's simple, efficient, and automatic. Comfort has never been so easy! Ask for your appointment to have a humidifier installed today!
How Expensive Are Humidifiers?
Actually HUMIDIFIERS ARE FREE. They will pay for themselves in a couple of seasons from energy savings. Though you may not notice it, your body is constantly perspiring. When the air is dry, your perspiration evaporates instantly, creating a cooling effect. This is why rubbing alcohol feels cool when applied to the skin, even though the rubbing alcohol is kept at room temperature. Thus, proper levels of humidity result in a more comfortable home, at a lower thermostat setting. Simply lowering your thermostat a degree or two will pay for the cost of the humidifier in a couple of seasons.
