How to Increase Your Jacksonville Home’s Humidity This Winter

When most people think about humidity, it’s typically the outdoor humidity and how muggy or dry it feels. But when you check with any of our expert furnace service technicians about home comfort, humidity plays a big role in making us feel comfortable. As the year goes on and our indoor air transforms, humidity levels vary as well. For ideal comfort, the humidity levels in your home should be between 35 percent and 50 percent.

Dry air during the colder months in Jacksonville can also affect respiratory comfort, as it might dry out the mucous membranes in your throat and nose, likely meaning uncomfortable scratchy throats and noses. It also could mean that there could be a higher risk for colds and respiratory discomfort.

Check out these perks of proper humidification, and speak with your Air Engineers Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning technician during your annual furnace service appointment to hear more.

Proper humidity levels in your home can:

• Save you from having to be worried about hurting wood furniture, flooring and paint in your home
