The Challenge with Colorado Humidity
The greater Denver-Boulder-Longmont metro area experiences dry air all year long, and especially during winter. In fact, Colorado has one of the lowest relative humidity averages in the country.
Dry air can have negative effects on your health and body. Any air below 30% relative humidity is uncomfortable and could lead to:
- Dry skin
- Nosebleeds
- Aggravated asthma
- Increased vulnerability to illness
- Irritated eyes
- Dehydration
There are several ways you can combat dry air in your home, but the most effective and lasting is to install a whole house humidifier.
