During the Winter, Do I Need a Humidifier or Dehumidifier?
Your indoor environment and overall health can benefit from installing a humidifier or dehumidifier to provide the highest level of humidity control, comfort and the best possible indoor air quality. Whether you need one or the other largely depends on the season of the year and the total amount of moisture in your home’s indoor air. In some cases, having a humidifier and a dehumidifier may be the best solution to round out your Evansville area home’s humidification system.
Inside air tends to be drier during the winter since heat removes moisture from the air. Too dry air also makes skin drier and more prone to crack. Sinuses tend to dry out, causing us to develop infections more easily. In addition to the physical effects of too little humidity, homes are affected, too. Static electricity becomes a problem for large and small electronic devices.
Too much moisture in the air can cause mold and mildew to grow, which also adversely affects our health. Mold and mildew can also damage carpets, drywall and home furnishings. Even in a heated basement, high humidity can be an issue during the winter months. A dehumidifier can help alleviate possible challenges.

The Comfort Specialists at Brackett Heating & Air will assess your home’s specific indoor environment by checking the humidity levels inside every level of your home, including the basement.
