Humidifier or Dehumidifier-Which is Right for You?
The humidity level within our homes is very important to our
health, too much or too little humidity can cause everything
from condensation and mold to dry skin and respiratory issues.
Our homes and our bodies depend on the right humidity levels to
stay strong and healthy.
Humidity is described as the water vapor levels that are in the
air that we breathe. When the air warms up, the vapor levels
drop. As the air becomes heavy with rain, the levels begin to
rise. Either of these extremes causes us to become uncomfortable
and more susceptible to illnesses.
In the winter, the humidity levels tend to be low due to
continued use of furnaces and other heating devices. When this
happens, we are left with dry skin, lips and eyes, which are
uncomfortable, but can be dealt with. However, for some people,
especially the very young, very old or those already compromised
by sickness, the dryer air can leave them more susceptible to
respiratory issues such as bronchitis and asthma.
The use of a home humidifier will bring the air moisture levels
to where they need to be. There are several types of humidifiers
to choose. A popular type of devise works by warming up water
from a reservoir tank, the evaporated water is then dispersed
through the home with the use of a fan system. Another system
utilizes a continuous mist or steam that is dispersed through
the whole house, putting the needed moisture into the air.
A dehumidifier addresses the opposite problem. When the air that
we breathe becomes saturated with water, we become
uncomfortable, the air is sticky and it is harder to breath. The
most common way to deal with this problem is with the use of an
air conditioner, which literally sucks the
water from the air.
This effectively lowers the moisture levels and makes us more
comfortable.
If an air conditioner is not an option, the next most common way
to control high humidity levels is with the use of a bathroom or
kitchen exhaust fan; these are the two places where high
humidity levels are frequently found. The exhaust fan pulls the
high moisture air out of the room, resulting in a more normal
air/water level.
Another way to dehumidify the air in a house is with a
dehumidifier. The use of a dehumidifier becomes important in
areas of the house that never seem to dry out, such as the
basement; or if someone in the home has allergies to mold. Most
molds are very common and are not anything to worry about,
except in the case of an allergy sufferer. In this case, a
dehumidifier should be used in the bedrooms of the person with
allergies as well as in or around the high humidity areas of the
home.
Humidifiers and dehumidifiers can be found in a size that is
right for every house, in fact for every room of the house. They
are sold in a variety of stores from home improvement stores to
discount chains, from drugstores to online vendors. If you are
unsure if the use of a humidifier or dehumidifier is what is
needed for your health issues, talk with your doctor, he or she
will let you know if the use of one of these devises will
alleviate your symptoms.
