Humidifiers

Studies have shown that our immune system functions better when humidity is at a properly balanced level within the home.  The right amount of humidification can help to support the quality of indoor air.  Gillece can decrease the negative effects of overly dry air, assisting your body’s immune system in defending itself against dryness, dehydration, and the impact of bacterial germs.  In dry fall and winter months, the spread of mold, bacteria, and virus runs rampant with low humidity levels.  The dry heated air allows viral molecules to move about freely and furiously, thus being easily inhaled by you and your family.  In the spring and summers months, humidity tends to be higher which actually assists in the slowing and spreading of viruses such as influenza. With humidity in the air, viral molecules bump up against water found in moisture and drop down to the surfaces found in your home or office.  By simply keeping these surfaces clean and germ-free, you are far better protected than having the molecules float around aimlessly in the air.

Effective humidification along with air purification can help to improve the overall air quality of your environment. Gillece quality humidifiers add light moisture in the form of water vapor only, are 100% evaporative, and clean-operating.  Forced warm air heating systems create a pressure differential that diverts some heated air to the humidifier through a bypass duct. There, the warm air absorbs moisture from a water-soaked evaporator pad and then rejoins the primary warm air stream for distribution throughout the living area. A solenoid valve and patented distribution tray disperses water uniformly across the evaporator pad.  The annoyance of water droplets or mineral dust normally found in many humidifier types is eliminated.

Humidifiers also help to protect wood furniture and other items that “dry out” form lack of moisture.  In colder/winter months, they may even provide substantial energy savings with continued use.  Indoor air will feel warmer with the proper level of humidity.  Therefore, you can turn your thermostat down a few degrees and with the right amount of humidity you’ll still feel the same, saving money on your heating bills.  Remember, usually it’s not the “heat,” it’s the “humidity” that you really notice on a super warm day!  Add a Gillece Air Purification system to remove allergens and dust particles, and you’re good to go!
