- Your skin dries out.

Humidifiers Keep You Comfortable
A whole house humidifier becomes part of your home heating system. It is typically mounted between your furnace and the duct work for your home. The furnace heats the air and blows the air through the whole house humidifier where moisture is added back into the air. This properly humidified air is then circulated evenly throughout your home.
The end reslut is that you will be more comfortable while spending less on heating your home. Remember when I said dry air makes you feel chilly? Well what do you do when you get cold? You turn the heat up, which of course increases your heating bill. Some estimates show that a whole house humidifier will save you between 10 to 20 percent on your heating bill.
This is the perfect time of year to have your home heating system checked by a professional. If you have a whole house humidifier installed in your home, they will make sure it is working properly. If you do not have one yet, they will be happy to install one for you.
