If the air in your home is stale and dry, a humidification system may bring it back to life. It’s not uncommon for those with dry, scratchy indoor air to suffer ill health effects, including:
- Dry skin
- Irritated sinuses
- Itchy and irritated eyes
- And more
Dry air is also ideal for airborne viruses to pass from place to place, such as the flu virus, which survives longer and spreads easier in low-humidity air. This makes low humidity a particularly bad problem during winter, especially when homes are closed up to seal in the warmth.
If you’re struggling with dry air, the Denver indoor air quality experts at Absolute Plumbing, Electrical, Heating & Air can help. We offer a number of humidity-balancing solutions that can increase the moisture in your air, keeping it comfortable and healthy for you and your family.
Why Install a Whole-House Humidifier?
Health benefits: By having the proper humidity levels in your home, you reduce the risk of allergy symptoms and dry skin and eyes, and minimize the number of viruses that may be lingering in your home.
Save money & energy: During winter, your indoor air will feel warmer with the proper humidity, which means you can save money and energy by not running your heater as often. According to the EPA, you can save 4% for every degree you lower your thermostat, which can definitely add up.
Protect your home: When you have the right moisture levels in your house, you’ll also protect hardwood floors from cracking and shirking, prevent paint from peeling, walls or flooring from warping, and more.

How To Improve Indoor Humidity
The easiest way to improve your indoor humidity is to create sources of water that can evaporate into the air in your home. Steam is the easiest way to do this, and the good news is creating steam doesn’t have to be difficult.
Likewise, warmer air tends to hold moisture better and stay warmer, so an energy-efficient heater can also help you maintain a higher humidity level.
Here are some of the most common ways people improve the humidity in their home:
- Use a vaporizer or humidifier.
- Drink a hot cup of tea.
- Place bowls of water around your home so the water can evaporate.
- Use a steam bath or warm shower to create water vapor.
