We all know that in Manitoba the humidity levels are much lower in the winter and the fall which could very well lead to a dry throat, dry skin and itchy eyes. When you are setting your furnace you want to keep the indoor humidity in the correct range for ideal comfort. Let’s talk about what your normal humidity levels should be in Winnipeg.

The below 4 signs that your humidity could be off in your home are as follows:

1 - You are not getting a good nights sleep

Dry air can make you more prone to getting sick, since your nose is always dried out. Being sick always means that you are not sleeping well at night. Also, the more the humidity the more chance you have at a scratchy throat which could in turn cause you to snore more and your sleep will be effected.

2 - Static Electricity

Humidity and the dry air in your home can lead to increased static electricity. This can be managed if you keep an eye on your humidity levels in your home.

3 - Flooring or Furniture splitting or damaged along with wood cabinets.

Air that becomes too parched can blemish any wooden belonging as it removes moisture. Using a home humidifier can keep your residence and possessions looking as good as new.

4 - Skin feels dry and irritated

If you find yourself requiring a lot of lotion and your skin is still feeling dry when you are inside your home, your humidity levels could be the issue. Low humidity can also lead to increased coughing and cracked dry lips.
