Living in the northeastern part of the country presents some challenges.
My fantastic friend and I not only experience harsh winter cold, however the sub zero conditions persist for months at a time.
I expect to beginning up the boiler sometime in September plus operate it non stop until at least the end of March. It’s not surprising to face temperatures in the forties or thirties well into May. Along with the expense of the heating system are the problems associated with inadequate humidity. Cold air doesn’t retain as much moisture as boiling air. The dry air pulls moisture out of everything it comes into contact with. Frizzy hair, chapped lips plus static shock are familiar warning signs of a lack of official moisture. The overly dry air can cause cracks in hardwood floors, moldings, doors, frames plus furnishings. It aggravates complications with asthma, allergies plus respiratory infections plus increases recovery times from illnesses. Congestion, itchy eyeah, sore throats, headaches plus insomnia can be blamed on insufficient moisture. For anyone who suffers from psoriasis plus eczema, the dry air is a big problem. Because dry air feels cooler than hydrated air, it encourages higher control component settings. Adding to the workload of the boiler worsens consequences of dry air while also increasing running cots plus the risk of requiring repairs. It is worth it to invest into the replacement of a whole-property humidifier. Portable humidifiers are too much work with honestly little reward. Whole-property humidifiers are incorporated right into the heating system, where the component introduces moisture in the air as it passes through.
