Wondering about moisture and why to humidify or dehumidify your home, office or basement? As Canadians living in Niagara, we tend to spend many hours indoors during winter months. Healthy air is vital to our health and our home.
Life is busy. Take a moment to look for any signs and symptoms of low relative humidity. If you answer yes to 2 or more of these issues, a Humidifier may be the solution. 35%-50% Humidity is ideal.
Heat Recovery Ventilation or Energy Recovery Ventilation systems are important to maintain healthy indoor air quality.
HRV is a system that uses the heat in stale exhaust air to preheat incoming fresh air.
ERV goes a little further as it also captures some of the humidity in the air. In cold, winter climates, an ERV system transfers the humidity from extracted air to incoming air to keep the ambient level between 40%-60% at all times.
HUMIDIFIERS
Generalaire Humidifiers with the Water Saver Control saves 50%-96% of your water and still delivers the desired humidity.
Save up to 5% on your Heating Bill. For example: 68F at 40% humidity, feels as warm as 74F at 20% humidity. So setting your furnace back 3 degrees can reduce your annual heating bill.

We tend to blame the 'constant kid-sniffles' on the school or daycare. Kids are sick and it may be our own home to blame. We're spending more time indoors and poor indoor air quality (IAQ) could be the problem.
