Humidifiers: A Must-Have For Cold Weather Comfort

Posted: 1/7/2011

A comfortable indoor humidity level is between 40 and 60 percent.

(NAPSI) - Cold outdoor air doesn’t have to mean uncomfortable indoor air that can leave you feeling dry, itchy and congested. Using a humidifier is an easy way to help counteract the effects of dry harsh air by adding essential moisture to any room.

As cold temperatures set in, humidity levels drop, leading to dry indoor air. Humidifiers raise indoor humidity levels and help keep indoor air moist for more comfortable living.

A comfortable humidity level should be between 40 and 60 percent. This helps provide temporary relief from dry-air discomforts as well as temporarily relieve congestion and cough. According to a published study in Environmental Health, keeping indoor air at a relative humidity level between 40 and 60 percent reduces the survival of flu viruses on surfaces and in the air when compared to relative humidity levels that are lower. It also indicates that when used as directed, a humidifier can achieve and maintain this 40−60 percent relative humidity level.

Now it’s easier than ever to make your home more comfortable during the dry winter months with Honeywell Easy to Care and Germ Free Humidification products.

Easy to Care Humidifiers were developed to make it simple to add moisture to your room without adding hassle to your busy day and clutter to your home. The breakthrough design incorporates the top-fill feature-making them as easy to fill as watering a plant. Filling can be a snap, with no more heavy tanks to lug back and forth to the sink. Simply pour water into the humidifier as you pass by. These humidifiers have dishwasher-safe components and easy-wipe surfaces that eliminate struggling to clean grooves, crevices and tough-to-reach places. Flowing water lets you know it’s working and easy-to-operate controls make it as easy as the flick of a wrist to set.

Select humidifier models with germ-free humidification are equipped with UV technology, which, based on independent laboratory testing, kills up to 99.9 percent of bacteria, molds, fungi and viruses in the tap water used in your humidifier. This provides the assurance that the moisture the humidifier emits is virtually free of germs. The new unit with Germ- Free Humidification also incorporates features to make operating simple, such as self-regulating evaporative technology, which maintains optimal room humidity levels, dishwasher-safe parts and a break-resistant water tank.

Humidifiers can help you enjoy your day, breathe better and sleep more comfortably at night.
