Getting your heating and air conditioning system regularly serviced can do wonders for the air you breathe in your home; having clean vents and ducts decreases the amount of air-born debris and possible allergens. However, during the dryer months, Sunshine Air Conditioning & Heating suggests installing a humidifier in your home as well.

During the winter, dry air can have a negative effect on your health and your home. Changes in the air drastically lower humidity levels, which can cause cracks in furniture. Having a humidifier will ensure that all of your wood furnishings maintain a healthy moisture, and continue looking their best.

Installing a humidifier in your home also helps prevents illness. Moisture in the air helps your body to filter out air-borne bacteria and viruses, and can prevent bloody noses. A humidifier can also make you more comfortable if you have a cold or the flu, by soothing your throat and nasal passages, and helping you to breathe easier.

Another added benefit to installing a humidifier in your home is that it will make your home feel warmer. The more humidity there is in the air, the warmer it feels. Adding a humidifier to your home will help maintain the healthy balance needed for you and your family to feel its best, and it will ensure your valuables last their longest.
