How to Increase Your Waukegan Home's Humidity

November 23, 2015

Your home's humidity plays a critical part in your family's comfort. As the weather changes, humidity levels fluctuate as well.

Dry air during colder weather in Waukegan can make your throat and nose feel raspy. It can also put you at a higher risk for colds and other sicknesses.

For the most comfort, your residence’s humidity levels should be between 35 and 50 percent.

Does your home’s air feel too dry in the winter or too damp when it’s hot? A whole-home humidifier from Robinson Service Experts can make it better. We can help you choose the right option for your household during a free home comfort assessment.

5 Benefits of Balanced Home Humidity

Using a whole-home humidifier to heighten moisture levels can help your home feel cozier at a cooler temperature. This can save you more on energy expenses.

2. Contributes to a Healthy Environment

Ideal humidity levels help alleviate dry skin fast. It also nourishes your sinuses and nasal passages, helping alleviate respiratory issues.

3. Preserves Your Flooring

Too little can ruin wood furniture, hardwood flooring and paint in your home.

4. Decreases Static Electricity

Humidity that’s at the appropriate level can lower the chance of static electricity and shocks.


5. Helps Plants Thrive

Houseplants grow better when humidity levels are steady and may even last longer.
