When air becomes too dry, moisture is drawn from people, plants, wood, wool, cotton and even your pets. The results can be damaging, expensive, uncomfortable and unhealthy. Many doctors recommend humidifiers for allergy and asthma sufferers. Research has shown that 40% to 60% relative humidity is ideal for todayās homes. Outside this range, bacteria, fungi, viruses and mites thrive. Maintaining proper relative humidity provides a comfortable environment for your woodwork, your furniture, your plants, your pets and especially you and your family.
Water is dispersed evenly throughout a Vapor PadĀ® inside the 1042LH. A portion of the heated air from the furnace passes through the water-soaked pad where it absorbs additional moisture and then returns for distribution throughout your home. Newly-moistened and healthier air is provided to you and your family.
