How to Prevent Negative Impacts of Dry Winter Air on Your Family and Home

Your loved ones are most likely to suffer from the consequences of dry air in semi-arid climates and during the cold of winter when the furnace’s heat eradicates most of the humidity. The latter, especially impacts most Quad Cities Area households.

Dry air may…

  • Cause sore throats and dry skin which may be confused with COVID-19.
  • Trigger itchy eyes, increasing the risk of catching infections by rubbing the eyes.
  • Make you more susceptible to catching cold and flu viruses according to the Sinai School of Medicine.
  • Damage walls, woodwork and hardwood floors.
  • Increase your energy bill, because dry air makes you feel colder.

 

Installing a humidifier like the Aprilaire Whole-Home Humidifier is an effective way to lower the risks of dry air. It will regulate humidity levels to:

 

  • Improve your family’s health.
  • Protect your home and furniture.
  • Increase comfort and energy efficiency.

  • A wall-mounted digital display humidistat for easier access.
  • Wi-Fi control of indoor air quality with IAQ controls.
