Maintaining your home's humidity levels can significantly improve your health and comfort. Other than ambient temperature, nothing affects your perception of comfort more than the humidity level. Excess humidity or too little humidity can not only lead to an unhealthy home full of thriving viral microbes and spores, but it can also cause irrepearable damage to your home and your belongings.

What you can do to maintain proper humidity levels

• Install TrueCLEANAir™ humidifacation  Systems

• Employ direct ventilation fans in kitchens and bathrooms

• Cover dirt floor crawlspaces under your house with plastic vapor barrier.

• Check to make sure your dryer is vented to the outside; don't dry wet clothes on inside drying racks

• Clean air conditioning drip pans and check that drain lines unobstructed

• Fix any water leaks

However, many homeowners continue to suffer the effects of improper humidity levels even after taking these steps. The fact is, all homes require humidity control.  TrueCLEANAir™ has a humidification solution for any size home.

Worry free protection from too dry air in your home

If the air in your home is too dry, a humidifier will add the right amount of moisture into the air.  TrueCLEANAir™  humidification solutions work to deliver just the right amount of moisture—never too little or too much.  While there may be situations in which a portable humidifier to do one room may be sufficient to correct a particular problem, in most cases a whole-house solution installed as part of your heating and cooling system offers a number of advantages:

• easy maintenance; no daily cleaning or disinfecting required

• no standing water, which eliminates the risk of microbial growth in water left to stagnate

• out-of-sight, out-of-your-way

• proper humidification throughout entire house improves the energy efficiency of your heating and cooling system, which also makes it less expensive to operate

Worry free protection from too wet air in your home

If the air in your home is too wet, a dehumidifier extracts moisture from the air.  TrueCLEANAir™ dehumidification solutions work to remove moisture from the air and deliver dry air back.  While there may be situations in which a portable dehumidifier to do one room may be sufficient to correct a particular problem, such as in a condominium unit, in general a whole-house solution installed as part of your heating and cooling system offers a number of advantages:

• easy maintenance

• out-of-sight, out-of-your-way

• proper dehumidification throughout entire house improves the energy efficiency of your heating and cooling system, which also makes it less expensive to operate

Why humidity is important

Keeping your home's humidity between 30-60% can help reduce the effects of many unwanted conditions.

Too little humidity causes dry conditions that can result in:

• Chronic physical symptoms such as sore throats, dry/itchy skin, nose bleeds or sinus irritation, susceptibility to infection

• Shrinking or cracking wood floors and wood furniture joints

• Peeling wallpaper, cracking paint or plaster

• Annoying and sometimes painful static shocks

• Feeling cold even while you crank up your thermostat, which also cranks up your energy bill

• Constantly out-of-tune musical instruments

Too much humidity results in wet conditions that can result in:

• Thriving mold and mildew forming on ceilings or walls, leading to increased allergy and/or asthma suffering

• Clammy, sweaty or sticky skin

• Musty-smelling odors

• Warping or rotting wood floors, trim and furniture

• Peeling paint

• Sweating water pipes, condensation, frost or ice forming on the inside surface of window

• Breeding ground for termites, cockroaches and other pests
