Dry lips, sore throat, and flaky skin are just a few symptoms Canadians experience during the winter season. These symptoms are a direct reflection of low humidity levels combined with low temperatures, resulting in an uncomfortable winter season. But it doesn't need to be that way. By investing in a whole-house humidifier, you can alleviate inconvenient symptoms and live comfortably. Here's how you'll benefit from investing in a whole-house humidifier for your Toronto home.

Provides Moisture to Your Body
Low humidity levels cause your body to experience many symptoms, including dry eyes, skin, throat, and nose. By installing a humidifier in your home, you can ensure your body is not deprived of proper moisture and help avoid the risks of these symptoms. 

Protects Your Home
Just like your body, your home and the belongings in your home are also impacted by low humidity levels. Common issues homeowners experience when moisture levels are low include damaged wood, static electricity, and peeling paint. Don't let low humidity levels deter your home and require you to make costly repairs. A humidifier will provide your home with the necessary moisture levels to ensure your home is protected. 

Additional Benefits You'll Experience 
Installing a humidifier benefits your health and home beyond dry or irritating symptoms:

• Improves your overall air quality:  Airborne viruses and pathogens live longer in low humidity levels. By improving humidity levels, you improve the air quality in your home and thus improve overall life quality.

• Low maintenance: Unlike store bought humidifiers that require daily refills and regular cleaning, whole-house humidifiers require only minimal maintenance. Cleaning only needs to be done once or twice a year. Additionally, you don't have to worry about constant refill trips because they are directly connected to your home water supply. 

• Increased furnace efficiency: The same room temperature will physically feel different at different humidity levels. For example, your thermostat can be set to 23 degrees, but how it feels is dependent on humidity levels. When you invest in a whole-house humidifier, you increase the efficiency of your furnace. Therefore, implementing a humidifier will reduce energy levels and costs.

• Higher home value: Your HVAC system is an essential factor in the home buying process. Having value added systems is a significant consideration in overall home price. Additionally, it's an added layer of protection from the negative symptoms a home experiences during low humidity levels.
