Having proper humidity levels is crucial for maintaining good health and comfort. In particular, low humidity during winter can lead to various unpleasant effects such as dry skin, chapped lips, and itchy eyes. Moreover, dry air can cause respiratory problems and skin irritation, which can be worsened by exposure to cold weather. Dry air also makes the temperature feel cooler, which may result in higher utility bills as the thermostat needs to be set higher.
In winter, indoor humidity can drop to very low levels, causing health problems and damage to furniture, books, and artworks. On the other hand, too much moisture can also harm electronic devices, which are sensitive to condensation.
To address these issues, Marsh Heating and Air Conditioning offers whole home humidifiers such as the Aprilaire Model 600 Humidifier. These devices use a humidity-sensing control and water panel to add water vapor to the air as needed, providing the moisture your skin needs and helping to prevent your home from becoming too dry.
Humidifiers are devices that add moisture to the air in either a single room or an entire building. Point-of-use humidifiers are commonly used in homes to humidify a single room, while whole-house or furnace humidifiers are connected to the HVAC system to provide humidity to the entire house.
Using a humidifier can offer several benefits, including improved sleep, lower risk of infections, faster healing process, lower heating bills, and low maintenance.
One of the top-performing bypass humidifiers on the market is the Aprilaire Model 600 Humidifier. This large-capacity unit is a whole-home solution that provides total comfort by controlling humidity. To install the Model 600, it must be attached to your central heating and cooling system ductwork by a qualified Columbia Heights MN heating and air conditioning professional.
The Model 600 has several features that make it stand out. It has a built-in bypass damper, which reduces the number of parts needed for installation. It also delivers up to 50% more moisture than comparable units and has an evaporation capacity of 0.70 gallons per hour. This humidifier can effectively humidify homes up to 4,000 square feet in size and provides optimal levels of humidity control with the Automatic Digital Humidifier Control, which eliminates the need to monitor your settings manually.
In manual mode, the Model 600 provides essential service, temperature, and relative humidity indicators. It operates quietly and requires straightforward annual maintenance. Additionally, it has an easy right or left discharge change-over feature.
Apart from these features, the Model 600 also offers added benefits. It reduces airborne viruses by maintaining the ideal amount of humidity, which can prevent colds, flu, and asthma symptoms. By making you feel more comfortable at lower temperatures, it improves energy efficiency. Lastly, Aprilaire humidifiers are perfect for protecting wood floors and furniture from damage caused by dry air.
