Dry air is not good for your family’s comfort—or health. Too little
moisture inside your home can cause skin irritation, sore throats and
respiratory problems,** not to mention annoying static shocks. It can
also damage home furnishings, making the wood in furniture and floors
shrink, warp and crack.
THE PROBLEM OF DRY INDOOR AIR
A phrase commonly associated with moisture in the air is relative humidity
(RH), the percentage of water vapor in the air in relation to how much water
the air can hold at a given temperature. In the winter, the air in your home
is much drier because as the cold air is heated, it expands, causing the
relative humidity level to decrease.

In the winter, the relative
humidity inside the home
can be less than 20%,
significantly less than the
recommended level.
The Perfect Solution to Dry Indoor Air
Healthy Climate® humidifiers, working together with your central comfort
system, help maintain just-right moisture levels. With three capacities and
two control options, you can trust Healthy Climate humidifiers to provide
the right solution for your home’s needs.
Why Portable Humidifiers Aren’t the Best Choice
Portable humidifiers are designed only for use in a specific room, not the
whole home, and require constant filling. Also, the filter in typical tabletop
humidifiers or vaporizers requires constant cleaning because it can quickly
become clogged with dirt, bacteria and mold.

ADDED MOISTURE FOR WHOLE-HOME COMFORT
The Benefits of Balanced Humidity
Enhanced comfort – Humidified air feels warmer, and it helps reduce occurrences
of dry skin, chapped lips and static shocks.
Healthier home – Proper moisture levels help lower risk of respiratory infections.
Preservation of furnishings – During winter months, a humidifier helps prevent
damage to wood in floors, trim and furnishings.
All this, with the added benefit of minimal maintenance.
A Healthy Climate® humidifier
uses the evaporative humidification
process that introduces moisture
in the form of water vapor. This
process optimizes the distribution
of moisture, helps prevent the
buildup of minerals, bacteria and
mold, and minimizes the amount
of maintenance required to achieve
maximum comfort.
The Healthy Climate® Collection is the
industry’s first comprehensive line of
ozone-free indoor air quality products.
