When you're able to control the humidity in your home, and maintain a healthy level between 30 and 55 percent, your home will be that much more comfortable. ![whole house humidifier, Boston, Massachusetts](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/static-electricity.jpg) In the winter, the air outside is cooler, so it naturally contains less moisture. Inside the home, the continual use of your heating system can cause air to become even drier, and the moisture created by showering or cooking is often not enough to restore healthy humidity levels. Dry air causes many problems, including the following factors: - Static electricity, causing shocks when you walk across carpeting or touch your hair. Static electricity can even have negative effects on electronic equipment. - Skin allergies and respiratory infections. - Higher levels can increase the spread of viruses, bacteria and mold. - Dust mites spread more easily when humidity is above 50 percent. - Medical experts point to studies that indicate maintaining your home's humidity in an optimum zone inhibits the survival of many viruses, including influenza, polio, measles and herpes. **How to control the humidity in your home** A whole house humidification system can alleviate problems due to dry air. The system sends water vapor into your home's ductwork system, as it is generally installed inside of your HVAC system. So, as the furnace produces hot air, the humidifier emits water vapor, and your home is comfortably heated with moist air. Most systems include a sensor that will monitor your home's indoor humidity levels, and adjust the moisture output accordingly. Dry air can cause a significant disruption to your quality of life in the winter, but using whole house humidification, you can put a stop to those problems, and boost your overall home comfort.
