Where I live, Winter starts early as well as hangs around forever, however winter is around 8 weeks long usually, then the freezing can get into the disadvantage double digits.
The air is dry, freezing as well as stale, but pair this horrible air with the oil furnace working overtime to combat the cold.
The oil furnace in our home works all day long, everyday! It heats at the maximum capacity for multiple weeks hoping to keep our family as well as I sizzling enough, but a heating plan naturally draws the moisture out of the air to create heating. Adding the already dry as well as freezing air of Winter makes the home indoor air a mess. The air quality is so dry that static shock is a constant thing. I worry every year about our wood furnishings, molding as well as antiques cracking due to the lack of moisture. I frequently suffer from bloody noses, chapped lips as well as rashes due to the lack of moisture. I guess what I need to do to fix this air quality issue. I need to pair our oil furnace device with a humidifier. The humidifier can be installed right into the oil furnace device. As the heating plan warms the home air quality, the humidifier introduces moisture! No more shocks, chapped lips or dry nasal passages. Also, a more moist home feels warmer. With added liquid in the air quality, the oil furnace can absolutely be set lower as well as help a homeowner save on utility bills. The humidifier that I am eyeing up is not too fancy either. I also guess I could install this IAQ machine on our own too.
