4 Benefits of Humidifiers
Minimize Static Electricity
With dry winter air, there also comes static electricity in the form of shocks that are almost inevitable in some homes during the winter. No one likes a jarring jolt of a static shock or having their clothing stick to them. It’s not good for your electronics either. Using a humidifier helps reduce, if not eliminate, static electricity in your home during winter.
Softer Skin
The dry winter air zaps all that much-needed moisture from your skin, causing dryness, leading to flaking and accelerating aging. A humidifier can alleviate these damaging effects and help you maintain vibrant-looking skin.
Healthier Pet & Plant Life
We aren’t the only ones affected by winter’s dry air. Our pets and plants living in the home are affected as well. Plant leaves begin to look droopy, and the soil seems dryer than normal. Pets, depending on the type, are affected in other ways. Humidifiers help keep you and your pets and plants healthy.
Lower Heating Bill
The more the humidity in the air, the warmer it feels in the home throughout the summer months. This is because the excess moisture in the air makes it feel warmer. By adding some moisture to the air in your home during these months, you’ll end up saving on your heating bills.

3 Warning Signs of Poor Indoor Air Quality
If you're a Bexley, OH homeowner experiencing one of the following warning signs of poor indoor air quality, we encourage you to call Bexley Heating & Cooling today at (614) 924-7856 for expert recommendations. We offer a variety of products and services to improve any air quality situation.
Air Circulation Problems
If the air doesn’t pass through your HVAC unit, it doesn’t get filtered and purified before entering the rooms of your house. In addition, problems with low airflow from your vents or air leaks in your ductwork increase the number of airborne contaminants in your home and throw off indoor humidity levels.
Musty Odor
Musty odors are telltale signs of mold growth. If the odor is more pronounced around your vent registers or while your HVAC system is running, it’s a major red flag. Mold produces a musty odor because it releases organic microbial compounds that are volatile as it grows. Exposure to these compounds can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue.
Frequent Allergies & Illness
The EPA says short-term symptoms of poor indoor air quality include eye, nose, and throat irritation, as well as fatigue, dizziness and headaches. Poor air quality in a home can also aggravate pre-existing conditions like asthma. Indoor pollutants can carry the risk of heart or respiratory disease and even cancer, although reactions to pollutants will vary from person to person. Take notice if respiratory symptoms are worse when you are at home than when you are away from home.
