Keep you and your homes “skin” soft this winter –

If you’ve ever been to Florida in the middle of Feb. you know how nice the moist air feels when you step off that plane. Nothing will keep you and your home in better shape this winter than keeping the humidity at the right level. We recommend between 35-45% relative humidity for your home in the winter. This will keep your wood floors and trim from splitting and sheet-rock from shrinking saving you money in repairs. You can pick up humidity sensors at your local hardware store if you don’t have one already. Many new (hot air) furnaces include humidifiers on them but they will only run when your furnace does. better yet is a separate humidifier placed in a central part of your home. Not only will your home stay more comfortable but you will too.
