McCrea Heating & Air Conditioning is a family-owned, full-service business servicing the DC metropolitan area since 1936.
Indoor air quality is a common concern for homeowners everywhere. Because your home is an enclosed space, it usually takes some care to keep the air quality in balance. One common issue is that heating and air conditioning systems can make the air in your home too dry, which can cause health problems and damage your home. If you have been experiencing some of these signs of dry air in the home, you should consider installing a humidifier.
Static Electricity
Although static electricity is usually more of a nuisance than a danger, it is an important indicator that the air in your house is very dry. In some cases static electricity can actually be very destructive, since it can damage sensitive electronics.
Health Concerns
Dry air from heating and air conditioning can cause uncomfortable symptoms in people, such as sore throats, dry or irritated eyes, nosebleeds, and dry skin issues. Even worse, dry air can dry out mucus membranes, which can put your body at greater risk of infection from germs and harmful particles. Some allergies and respiratory problems can become worse in dry conditions.
Home Damage
You may notice the effects of dry air on your walls or furniture as well. Wallpaper may crack, peel, or become brittle, a result of dry air from heating and AC. You may also notice signs of cracking in furniture or in paint. Keeping humidity at an even, balanced level will help keep the contents of your home in good shape, in addition to helping your health.
