Humidifiers

Heated air dries out and shrinks wood framing around doors and window frames. Gaps occur, permitting cold outside air infiltration. Heat loss and higher heating costs are often the result. Heated parched air causes separation of wood in floors, racks...plant damage and annoying static shocks are also a by-product of dry air.Proper humidity reduces heating costs by stopping wood shrinkage, which reduces cold air infiltration around door and window frames. In turn, you will feel warm at lower temperatures. You can actually lower your thermostat and still be comfortable. In cases where excessive dry air has been the cause of physical aggravations, doctors have prescribed whole-house humidification.
