Feel comfortable in your home
Improve your air quality
Ever get that dry stuffy feeling in the house? This is most likely caused by a lack of (relative) humidity in the house during the winter season. Unlike the summer months where humidity levels rise, the winter months have an opposite effect where the humidity levels decrease in indoor spaces. This can be a big factor since it has a direct bearing on health and energy consumption.
In short, this means that controlling the amount of humidity can actually help you save money by keeping your thermostat at a lower setting. It will feel warmer because of the relative percentage of humidity.
At Vulcan Heating and Cooling, we offer three types of humidification systems for your forced air heating system.
