Humidification
Humidification Comfort You Can Depend On.
Here in Colorado, especially in the wintertime, we have extremely dry air! On average, our winter relative humidity is between 8-11%. The static threshold is 20% relative humidity. If it looks like a lightning storm when you move your covers at night, the relative humidity is low. Our humidification services will help with this. For health benefits, an average of 30% relative humidity will help keep your nose from bleeding, your throat from being dry/scratchy and your skin feeling good. Other items including any wood flooring, furniture, and even musical instruments, will benefit from a higher humidity level and will thank you for keeping them from separating or cracking.
