Holmes Humidifiers

Cold and dry climates can lead to low humidity. Generally, this isn't a problem. But when the humidity falls too far this can lead to health problems such as allergies, cold, sinus and nose bleeds. The best level of humidity for humans is between 30% and 40%. It is when levels fall below 20% where problems start to occur.

Thankfully, you can raise the humidity level in your home or office by using a humidifier. These units put moisture into the air and raise the humidity level to a more acceptable level. They are a great way to make living in a low humidity environment more acceptable, especially if you suffer from one of the above mentioned health conditions.

One company that is well known for their humidifiers is the Holmes Company. This company produces a range of different humidifiers including warm mist, cold mist and ultrasonic.

Cold mist humidifiers use a cold mist to add moisture to the air and can be used for small or large rooms. Holmes cold units are known for their quality and effectiveness. However, some models are disadvantaged by poor wheel design and high noise levels.

In contrast to the cold units, warm mist humidifiers use a hot stream. Holmes has a small range of warm mist units and while the noise levels are low some consumers have complained about how hard they are to clean.
You can purchase a Holmes humidifier at your local home improvement or retailer store. If you shop around you should be able to get a good deal or you could wait for the yearly sales when retailers discount in order to rotate stock through.
