Dry air in your home can be a real problem. While too much humidity creates its own health hazards, air that is too dry can lead to chapped lips, bloody noses, sore or scratchy throats, or respiratory problems. These may be most noticeable in Cincinnati’s cold winter months. A humidifier can alleviate these health issues. Ideally, the level of humidity in your home should be in the 40 to 50% range. Installing a whole house humidifier allows you to regulate this, adding moisture to the air during dry and chilly Cincinnati winters. Air Authority installs and services your humidifier as part of our HVAC service in Cincinnati. Let us show you how to live most comfortably in your home!
