Whether you’re a first-time buyer or need advice about your existing humidifier, we are here to assist you. With years of insider industry experience, we aim to help you make an informed decision regarding:
Humidifiers can alleviate many of the negative effects of cold weather by making your home more comfortable during winter and even improving conditions after winter ends. In hotter climates, a humidifier can help counteract dry air caused by heat.
Filter Free Humidifiers
Many manufacturers now offer filter free humidifiers, which are cleaner and more convenient. In filter humidifiers, dust and minerals get taken out of the mist by using a filter, but the build up of white dust also requires cleaning. Filter free humidifiers automatically remove impurities from the water using an electrostatic charge, providing cleaner mist and reducing the need for frequent cleaning.
During the cold winter months, the air in your home becomes dry. Turning the heat up only makes this issue worse. Dry air during the winter can lead to various health issues, such as irritated nasal passages, dry skin, and increased susceptibility to infections. And, once you are sick, recovering in dry air conditions can be a nightmare. What solution is there to these issues? Getting a humidifier, of course! A humidifier can add moisture to the air, helping to mitigate these problems and improve overall comfort.
With over 30,000 Americans suffering from asthma attacks every year, and over 4,000 people dying of attacks, this disease is a serious problem. If you have asthma, it is important that you always carry an inhaler with you, but also know what brings on your attacks and try to avoid it. For some asthma suffers, attacks are caused by pollen and dust mites in the air, as well as breathing in dry and cool air. Both causes irritate the nerves in your lungs which negatively can cause inflammation and constrict your airways. This makes you more at risk of an attack. It is therefore of utmost importance for sufferers to breathe in the cleanest, purest and moist air.
A humidifier can help by adding moisture to the air, which may reduce irritation caused by dry, cool air and improve breathing conditions.
Even though it is highly important to take your medication to control your asthma, it is also important to create an environment around you that does not induce an attack, and using a humidifier does that.
Myth: By Only Using a Humidifier your Allergies Will Be Cured Forever
Adding a humidifier to your home is only one part of allergy relief. It does not cure your allergies, but it assists in soothing the symptoms. It also gets rid of pollen, dust mites, mildew, and mold that might cause allergies. People who suffer from bad allergies including hay fever specifically use a humidifier to purify the air which gets rid of anything that might irritate their nose, eyes, throat or skin.
Myth: Humidifiers Prevent All Odors in your Home So You Do Not Have To Bother With Every Day Hygiene
Yes, a humidifier does take care of unwanted odors in your home, but this does not mean you can ignore odor-causing problems. Many people think that using a humidifier gives them permission to leave rotting food in their kitchen, never clean the cat’s litter box, and not take out the trash.
Myth: Humidifiers Are Unhealthy for Newborn Babies
Unlike adults, babies’ immune systems are not as strong and they struggle to fight bacteria and viruses in the air. Their skin is also more sensitive and their respiratory systems are easily affected by the temperature and humidity of a room.
Myth: Humidifiers Kill Harmful Airborne Bacteria
Having a humidifier in your home could mean the difference between getting the flu and remaining healthy. Humidifiers do not kill bacteria but can help prevent their spread by making the air too heavy for bacteria to float. Once moisture is added, viruses and bacteria end up dropping down to the floor, which, in effect, helps prevent the spread of illnesses and infections.
Myth: Humidifiers Kill Your Indoor Plants
It is true that if the humidity is too high or incorrect inside your home, the tips of indoor plant leaves will start turning brown and the plant can potentially die. However, many species of indoor plants originally come from tropical climates with high humidity. A properly regulated humidity can help indoor plants thrive rather than harm them.
With the increasing requirements of modern high-speed techniques and the increasing internal plant heat, the need for better control of humidity level is quickly gaining importance in many industries. These industries include those that have plant environments like growing plants, vegetables and fruit.
By adding moisture into the large area where these plants are growing like greenhouses and warehouse spaces, many industries can meet the requirements of bringing more outdoor air into the plants that are grown indoors. If this outside air is too dry or cold it can make the humidity indoors too low. Existing plant humidification systems are done through a humidifier, and are often capable of meeting these increased demands. Even though costly, it is a long term solution to a very disruptive and even more costly problem.
Furnace humidifiers are integrated into your home’s HVAC system to add moisture to the entire house. They are particularly useful in winter when heating systems can dry out the air. Often installed on the ductwork near the furnace, they operate only when the furnace is running, effectively humidifying multiple rooms. Modern furnace humidifiers are safe, cost-effective, and easier to maintain thanks to advanced technology.
Cleaning Manual
Every humidifier should come with an instruction manual that includes instructions on cleaning the appliance always refer to the cleaning instructions for any appliance, before attempting to do it yourself. It is important to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer if your humidifier is still under warranty.
Daily Clean
Choose a specific time during the day – after work, before you go to bed, or in the morning after breakfast – and clean your humidifier. A daily clean will keep all the mineral deposits (or gunk) from building up in the appliance, and will also prevent the minerals from being spread in the air.
Weekly Clean
You need to do a proper clean, and disinfect your humidifier at least once a week.
Maintenance
All humidifiers, regardless of their type, carry a risk of bacteria and mold growth. This may be the result of two things:
Adding a dehumidifier to your home is an essential appliance for maintaining a healthy home environment by:
The drier the air in your flooded area, the faster it will dry. To achieve this you’ll need a dehumidifier which can be rented from an industrial equipment rental store or bought on Amazon. Combined with the dehumidifier, we suggest using an air mover (a special fan) which will pull moisture out of your dry walls, carpeting and framing material.
