Will I Need a Humidifier This Summer?

Monday, May 30th, 2016

It’s not the heat, you’ve likely been told at some point, it’s the humidity. While this old adage may be something of a cliche, there is actually a lot of truth in this statement as it pertains to discomfort. Our bodies cool themselves naturally via the evaporation of sweat. When the air surrounding our bodies is too saturated with humidity, it is a lot more difficult for the sweat on our bodies to evaporate, leaving us to feel sticky and uncomfortable. However, it is vital that the air in your home is not too dry, either, which is why you may find that you require the use of a whole-house humidifier in Fresno, CA.
