When winter arrives in the Midwest, it brings freezing temperatures, dry air, and challenges to maintaining comfort indoors. One of the biggest culprits of winter discomfort is low humidity, which can lead to a host of issues for your health, home, and heating system.
Why Humidity Matters in Winter
The cold air outside holds less moisture, and when that air gets heated indoors, it becomes even drier. This lack of humidity can lead to:
Dry Skin and Irritated Sinuses: Low humidity can cause itchy skin, cracked lips, and aggravated respiratory issues.
Static Electricity: Ever notice those annoying shocks after walking across a carpet? Blame low humidity!
Damage to Your Home: Wood floors, furniture, and trim can shrink or crack without adequate moisture in the air.
Higher Heating Bills: Proper humidity makes your home feel warmer at lower temperatures, allowing you to reduce energy use.
