Whole Home Humidifiers
 There's
a science to managing comfort in your Austin home, and
Austin Air Rescue knows it. Just
locating and eliminating air leaks can cut energy bills up to 30%. Unlike other
heating and air conditioning companies, we do computerized load analysis to
determine the right capacity for your heating and cooling equipment--another way
of reducing energy expenditures.
Besides lowering your utility bills, humidity control is very important to your
health for a couple of reasons. Mold, which thrives in high humidity, is dormant
or dies when the humidity is low. Dust mites also die when the humidity stays
below 50%. But remember, the dust mites in your bed rely on you for their source
of humidity, so always use mattress covers, pillow covers and box spring
encasings.
On the other hand, below 30% relative humidity, people can be uncomfortable and
can suffer from dry mucus membranes which can lead to nosebleeds and infections.
Low humidity can aggravate the symptoms of asthma and high humidity at high
temperatures can sometimes lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
Austin Air Rescue provides a full range of whole home humidifiers. During the
heating season a whole-house humidifier is strongly recommended for a number of
reasons. Proper moisture balance minimizes damage to the wood in your home from
excessive dryness; humidifiers can help your family maintain good respiratory
health; and dry air makes you feel colder than the actual thermostat setting.
You can actually lower your heating bill too, since humidified air feels warmer.
