In Lowell, Massachusetts you need to turn your heating device basically 24/7! Due to this, I have invested quite a bit in indoor air quality equipment, but i don’t want that same, stale air circulating inside my house. I bought a humidifier from a Massachusetts heating dealership, and the humidifier is one that pairs right with the heater… So as my furnace turns on, the humidifier is firing up. It adds moisture to the air quality. This isn’t something that most people recognize of with their heating equipment, but having a humidifier is a game changer, but when the air is more moist, it entirely feels warmer. I am able to turn down the control machine temperature plus save some money, but also more moisture means no more dry skin, chapped lips, or bloody noses during the season. I also don’t get static cling or shock. The best thing is that the wood furniture won’t split plus the electronics are safe. The humidifier more than paid back for itself. As far as servicing it, I just have the Lowell Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C contractor take a look at the humidifier when they do the heating equipment. It has to be inspected, get a filter change, the whole thing. It isn’t a immense deal to me… Yes, adding a humidifier does up your service costs, then but how you feel during the year with a humidifier running is more than worth it in my opinion. I cherish feeling the air with a bit of moisture. I no longer feel that dry, static filled freezing anymore.
