Humidifiers for Your Cleveland, Ohio Home
Mold and dust mite allergens can be the
cause of many breathing symptoms, especially
for the allergic/asthmatic. High humidity
causes mold and dust mites to multiply and
thus is a priority focus for correction
throughout the many places in the home these
can grow.
Mold is often detectable to the naked eye
(e.g., black spots on wood window frames,
bathroom tiles, carpeting and walls). Other
potential mold growth areas are in
ventilation equipment such as air
conditioning coils, humidifiers, air
exchanges coils and dehumidifiers.
Basements are notorious for mold and dust
mite problems. Being below ground level
increases the possibility of water
infiltration. This can be due to structural
problems whereby the protective membrane
between the earth and the foundation wall
fails to prevent water from seeping through.
Old homes that have had their windows
upgraded were not designed to be airtight
and can trap humidity, leading to mold
growth in the areas of the home mentioned
above.
Design Air, Heating & Cooling provides a
full range of 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.
