How to Increase Your Birmingham Home's Humidity

November 23, 2015

Your home's humidity plays a crucial part in your family's coziness. As the weather changes, humidity levels shift as well.

Dry air during colder months in Birmingham can make your throat and nose feel scratchy. It can also put you at a higher risk for colds and other sicknesses.

For the most comfort, your rooms’ humidity levels should be between 35 and 50 percent.

Does your home’s air feel too dry when it’s cold or too wet in the summer? A whole-home humidifier from Norrell Service Experts can make it better. We can help you discover the right option for your home during a free home comfort assessment.

Using a whole-home humidifier to increase moisture levels can help your home feel cozier at a cooler temperature. This can save you more on energy costs.

2. Contributes to a Healthy Environment

Ideal humidity levels help soothe dry skin quickly. It also nourishes your sinuses and nasal passages, helping relieve respiratory problems.

3. Preserves Your Flooring

Too little can ruin wood furniture, hardwood flooring and paint in your home.

Humidity that’s at the correct level can lower the opportunity for static electricity and shocks.
