What is the most common problem with furnaces?

HVAC professionals can easily add a humidifier to your home’s heating and air conditioning system. However, you may wonder if it is necessary or beneficial in Georgia.

As the temperature starts to lower during the fall and winter, your heating system will begin warming the air inside your home so that your family stays comfortable. As this happens, the relative humidity in your home reduces. The more significant the difference between the indoor and outdoor air, the more dry the inside of your home will be.

Is Dry Air a Problem?

Low humidity in a Kennesaw, Georgia, home causes problems for the health of individuals who live in it and for the home and its furnishings. Your family will notice dry skin, eyes, sinuses, and nasal passages when the humidity level is low. Everyone may experience frequent coughs, dry mouth, sore throats, nosebleeds, and respiratory sickness. Your loved ones with allergies will notice that their symptoms worsen because of dry air.

Low humidity can also negatively affect your home and the furnishings inside of it. For example, wood shrinks when dry, leading to hardwood flooring, furniture, cabinets, and trim being negatively affected. You may notice gaps in the wood.

Another side effect of low humidity is static electricity. The lower the humidity, the more you will be shocked when you touch metal objects. You will also notice it affects your hair and clothing.

Fixing Dry Air Inside Georgia Homes

Whole-house humidifiers can quickly solve the problems mentioned above. They are easier to use than portable units. They don’t require cleaning moldy tanks, drying up water spills, or filling tanks with water. Our team at Total Comfort Solutions Heating and Cooling would be happy to talk with you about installing a whole-house humidifier that can attach to your home’s air conditioning and heating system.

In most cases, we will mount a humidifier on the HVAC unit in your home. It will use a humidistat to monitor humidity levels and turn on when the air needs moisture added. You can have peace of mind knowing that this process happens automatically.
