In Lowell, MA you need to turn your heating equipment basically 24/7, however due to this, I have invested quite a bit in indoor air quality equipment.
I don’t want that same, stale air circulating inside my house.
I obtained a humidifier from a MA heating dealership, then the humidifier is one that pairs right with the heater… So as my boiler turns on, the humidifier is firing up. It adds moisture to the air quality. This isn’t something that almost everyone think of with their heating equipment, then having a humidifier is a game changer, and when the air is more moist, it undoubtedly feels warmer. I am able to turn down the temperature control temperature plus save some money… 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 plus Air Conditioning company take a look at the humidifier when they do the heating equipment. It has to be serviced, get a filter change, the whole thing. It isn’t a massive deal to me… Yes, adding a humidifier does up your repair costs, and but how you feel during the year with a humidifier running is more than worth it in my opinion. I appreciate feeling the air with a bit of moisture. I no longer feel that dry, static filled freezing anymore.
