The overly dry conditions can be blamed for frustrating symptoms of eczema, psoriasis, pollen irritations and asthma, then bloody noses, frizzy hair, chapped lips, headaches, difficulty sleeping and longer recovery times from flu and freezing are some of the multiple consequences, and for homes in Glenview, a whole-home humidifier is just about a necessity.
Living in Glenview, Illinois, the Wintertide is the longest season. It’s not uncorrect for us to run the oil furnace for several straight weeks, then the temperature is frequently below frigid and occasionally drops down into the downsides. The freezing air also means especially dry conditions, but with the heating system blasting, conditions inside the house can become problematic. The low humidity makes the living space think colder and makes it tempting to raise the thermostat setting. The increased demand on the oil furnace results in greater energy use and higher energy costs. The added wear and tear can lead to repairs and premature failure. The dry air pulls moisture out of everything it touches, potentially damaging hardwood floors, antiques, songsal instruments and wood furnishings. The overly dry conditions can be blamed for frustrating symptoms of eczema, psoriasis, pollen irritations and asthma, then bloody noses, frizzy hair, chapped lips, headaches, difficulty sleeping and longer recovery times from flu and freezing are some of the multiple consequences, and for homes in Glenview, a whole-home humidifier is just about a necessity. I tried making do with portable humidifiers and they required constant refilling and provided truly little benefit, but a steam-style humidifier installed right into the oil furnace and introduces moisture as the air passes through. It disperses the moisture to every room in the house and allows customized settings! Since investing into the humidifier, the house feels more comfortable and I’ve noticed a significant reduction in my energy costs. I’ve suffered fewer headaches and my kids aren’t coughing or sneezing as often. The savings have absolutely recovered the cost of the humidifier.
