Why Dallas Homes Stay Dry in February
Even mild winters can create dry indoor air when heating systems run constantly. Low humidity causes discomfort, damages wood, and increases static electricity.
Signs include:
- Dry skin and chapped lips
- Static shocks
- Cracking wooden furniture or floors
- Dust buildup
Tips to Boost Humidity in February
- Install a Whole-Home Humidifier: Distributes moisture evenly while your system runs.
- Use Portable Humidifiers: Ideal for bedrooms or small spaces.
- Adjust Thermostat Moderately: Avoid excessive heat that dries air.
- Monitor Humidity Levels: Keep indoor humidity between 30–50%.
- Maintain HVAC System: Clean filters and ducts for better humidifier performance.
