Cold Weather and our Immune Systems

Thinking about your home's indoor air quality in Bohemia.  In the winter months humidity levels are key to your health and comfort. Colds, flu, and dry sinuses are all symptoms of too little humidity. Our immune systems with humidifiers in Smithtown and Long Island function best with the right levels of humidity. We should not wait for what the weather forecast tells us will happen. Weather physically and emotionally can affect our well being.  If you have Arthritis and you hear of rain and /or precipitation  the forecast, you already know about this. What you also need to know is humidity has a similar effect inside our homes, from flooring to kitchen cabinets to crown moldings, to wood doors. The Good News; You can control the level of humidity in your surrounding environment.
Proper humidity is definitely a balancing act. Too much humidity and you can see windows condensate. Too little humidity, throats are scratchy, sinuses are dry and wood can and will begin to crack. All this is not good. However, with a professionally installed system, you can keep the humidity at proper levels. When there is too much humidity in your home, the air can get clammy, feeling warmer than the real temperature. This is when mildew, bacteria, and other airborne allergens and viruses can multiply quickly in Dix Hills.
What are proper moisture levels with humidifiers in Huntington? Though these vary with changes to outdoor temperatures, humidity levels should be at a minimum between 35% and 50% relative humidity for comfort.  More imprtantly, for your immune system health, and an environment resistant to allergens and maintaining the health of your  custom wood work home in King Park in the winter, humidity levels between 45% and 50% are required to be optimum. To help, a centrally installed humidification system can be installed. Even if you do not have ducts in your home, a steam humidifier system can be installed. You don't want water in your attic ducts, with freezing temperatures.  Having a a professional humidification system installed can make your life a whole lot better.  Why suffer, when a system can be installed in 1 day or less.
If your home is too humid normally, (basements are a prime culprit) we can install a whole home
dehumidifier bringing the humidity down to healthier and more comfortable levels.

These professionally installed systems are simpler to use and much lower maintenance than home improvement store purchased single room products.

Whatever the weather, humidity is always in your home. Indoor air quality is a major concern for our Long Island customers and humidity is a critical component of indoor air quality.
