Why Colorado homes are so dry

Colorado Springs averages low humidity all year. When the furnace runs in winter, indoor humidity can drop into the teens. That's drier than most deserts.

  • Static shocks
  • Dry skin, eyes, and sinuses
  • Cracking wood floors and furniture
  • Feeling cold even at normal thermostat settings

Whole-house vs. portable humidifiers

A whole-house humidifier connects to your furnace and water line. It adds the right amount of moisture to every room automatically, with no refilling, and keeps humidity at a healthy 30–45%.
