Whole-home Humidity Control Solutions For Your Health and Home

Healthy humidity at home between 40-60% RH is an absolute must, not an option to protect your family and the contents of your home.   

We spend 90% of our time indoors so ensuring the air we breath is humidified to minimize viruses, and reduce many health issues not only for ourselves but for our pets is essential in creating a healthy indoor space.  Hydrated air is also essential for our valuable objects such as wood cabinets & furniture, hardwood flooring, musical instruments, art, collectables and wine cellars to prolong their line and prevent damage. During the heating season in particular, it is even more important to monitor and control your home's humidity level to ensure a consistent and healthy range of 40-60% RH.

Advantages to your health of a relative humidity between 40-60%:

  • Airborne droplets containing viruses retain moisture, are heavier and fall out of the air.  This results in minimizing the transmission of viruses that are transported by aerosols (e.g. when coughing or sneezing) resulting in fewer respiratory infections, from bronchitis to coronavirus.

  • Airborne droplets containing viruses retain moisture allowing physiochemical reactions to deactivate the virus.

  • Respiratory immune system's defenses function effectively, capturing, removing or fighting germs. 

  • The combination of humidity in the range of 40-60% RH with a room temperature of approx. 68-72 °F (20-22 C) is the basis for peak performance for the human body.  Restful sleep, improved concentrated for work and learning, along with beautiful and healthy skin are just a few of the benefits resulting for humidity control in your home.
  • Humidity control minimizes allergies and asthma, allowing you to breath easier.

  • Skin and eyes stay hydrated minimizing discomfort.

  • No painful electrostatic discharge when petting your pets - and less dust, too!

With 40-60% RH your respiratory immune system's defenses function effectively, capturing, removing or fighting germs.

Value-preserving indoor climate

In order for our belongings to last us a long time, we have to take care of them accordingly. A room climate that has humidity control protects wood flooring & cabinets, preserves your valuable art and protects your instruments. Air stores water much like a sponge. If it is close to saturation (100% relative humidity), it tends to give off moisture. If the air is too dry, it begins to draw moisture from furniture, hardwood flooring, artwork or even the human body. The air dries up its surroundings to saturate itself with moisture.
