Dry air that circulates throughout your home can lead to poor indoor air quality that impacts the health of many families. During the winter months, cold air lacks the moisture of spring and summer weather. This means winters in Gambrills, MD are especially dry. Home design helps hold warm air inside your home and prevents outdoor air from entering. While this can limit how often your HVAC systems run, tightly sealed doors and closed windows don’t allow any air to circulate. Indoor air can be very problematic as it is recirculated and dry. Hiring Grove Heating and Cooling to install a whole house humidifier in your home will improve indoor air quality.
Most homeowners are familiar with portable humidifiers. Using these devices near a bed when family members are ill or to improve comfort within a small room is common. The primary difference between a portable humidifier and the whole house humidifiers offered by Grove is a complete humidifier system installed by Grove that treats every room inside your home. The device mounts directly into your HVAC system. A humidistat monitors the humidity of the air entering your furnace. When humidity levels are lower than your preferred setting, water vapor is added and circulated throughout your home through your furnace. Extremely easy to maintain, durable and effective, Grove installs humidifiers for many homeowners with dry air issues.
There is a wide range of ideal humidity levels depending on the season. When Grove installs a whole house humidifier in Gambrills, MD, the recommended range for relative indoor humidity range is 30-50%. The lower the percentage, the drier air will feel.
