In winter the air in your house can be drier than most deserts. That dry air irritates sinuses, causes static electricity and can damage furniture and woodwork. A whole house humidifier attached to your ductwork can raise indoor humidity to a comfortable level.
The humidifier if controlled with a humidistat. It works like a thermostat and allows you to set a comfortable level of humidity. In summer the humidistat can be set to work with your Genteq-powered air conditioner to pull more moisture from the air when humidity is excessive.
Humidifiers can help lower heating bills because humidified air feels warmer. For example, a 69° F temperature at 35% relative humidity feels just as warm as 72° F setting at 19% relative humidity. Lowering your thermostat setting by three degrees can reduce annual heating bills by as much as 5%.
