Dry winter air and what a humidifier does

When the furnace runs all winter the air in your home gets dry. Dry air is hard on your comfort and your home. A whole-home humidifier helps.

Why winter air gets so dry

Cold air holds little moisture. Heating it makes it drier still. That leads to dry skin, static, scratchy throats and gaps in wood floors and trim.

What a humidifier does

A whole-home humidifier adds the right amount of moisture to the air through your heating system. The house feels warmer at the same temperature, so you can ease back on the heat.
