When was the last time you considered moisture levels in your home? For just about everyone of us the answer is most likely... never. Unless one was talking about flood damage the consideration of moisture in the home would be limited to a hot shower or a child’s humidifier and not much more. However there are reasons this tip comes in at number three. Moisture is your friend! When the weather outside is frightful, a humidifier attached to your furnace or air handler will provide relief from the dry air. Take, for instance, a child with a cough. The humidifier place in the room with the child fills the air with a mist allowing that child to breath more comfortable. The dry cough is allowed some relief providing for a somewhat restful night. This is not all that different from a whole home version. The dry air from the winter months can be much more comfortable. Summer brings a new spin to the same conversation. Moisture is your enemy! Managing the moisture levels in your home in July's heat requires a dehumidifier. This will allow you to keep the air inside your home from becoming damp and sticky. Cooling off inside is much more comfortable when your clothing is not sticking to your body!
Consider contacting your local Lennox dealer and start the conversation about humidity options for your HVAC system. Seasonal comfort is much more manageable with moisture control. A humidifier and/or a dehumidifier will provide this comfort.
