Humidity and Healthy Aging

Why have proper levels of humidity been deemed so important for healthy skin and for general health? Well, it may sound far-fetched but humidity actually helps in maintaining a healthy and beautiful skin as it adds moisture. Indoors humidifier units provide a number of health benefits to people who suffer from various dryness issues and related skin problems such as sinusitis, itchy eyes/throat and cracked lips. They also humidify the air which counters the dryness in rooms both during hot and cold weather conditions. Ace Air Heating and Cooling offers installation and maintenance for two types of humidifiers, warm and cool.

Warm-air humidifiers are used in freezing weather conditions of winter as they discharge hot water into the atmosphere to maintain warmth. However, most humidifiers only heat the air, as this is all that they are capable of, and as a result the household though warm is also dry due to heating. Ace Air Heating and Cooling installs only the most revolutionary products available in the market and its humidifiers are equipped with an in-built humidity meter that help the user in setting and maintaining a healthy indoors humidity level between 30 to 50 percent.

More specifically, when the outside temperature is somewhere around the 20°F mark or higher, the recommended humidity levels for indoors are 35 to 40 percent. Humidity levels higher than 50 percent can be detrimental as they cause mold and dust mite problems. Other than heating the room in the unrelenting winter season, they also ensure that the room has the optimum humidity levels as this provides the skin with necessary moisture in the dry winter season.

On the other hand, cool-air humidifiers are in popular demand during the sweltering, simmering summer heat. They use a fan to blow cool mist into the air and the superior range of ultrasonic humidifiers recommended and installed by Ace Air Heating and Cooling are absolutely noiseless. Humidifiers are especially useful in the summer as levels of humidity lower than those recommended will invariably cause the skin and hair to dry with dehydration.

Dry skin and dry hair can look unattractive because it is tight, dull and flaky. This can in turn cause itchiness and irritation as the skin starts to chap. inefficient humidifier units also cause the mucous membranes of the nose and throat to dry out and this increases discomfort as well as immuno-susceptibility to colds and respiratory illnesses.

With low humidity levels, the body starts to dehydrate and its moisture evaporates so quickly that you feel chilled even at higher thermostat settings. Ace Air Heating and Cooling ensures the best quality services of the most superior range of products to remedy these problems and help skin look younger and healthier.
