Humidifiers: Your First Defence Against Dry Air!

What is a humidifier and what does it do?

Climate, heaters, and air conditioning are all things that can dry out the air. The solution? A humidifier! Humidifiers are devices that help restore humidity levels by adding moisture back into the air in your home, providing a healthier and more comfortable environment.

By releasing a fine mist of water vapour or steam when needed, they help to restore humidity levels and alleviate health issues caused by dryness. Humidifiers also produce negative ions, which help to purify the air by removing dust particles.

What are the different types of humidifiers?

When shopping for a humidifier, you should choose the model that is best suited to the size of your room as well as your lifestyle needs. At Harvey Norman, you can choose from:

• Warm Mist Humidifiers – Also known as vaporisers, these humidifiers release a warm mist into the air, offering relief from respiratory issues. They are particularly beneficial during winter and can be a soothing choice for bedrooms.
• Cool Mist Humidifiers – Release cool moisture into the air without boiling water, making them both child-friendly and suitable for year-round use.
• Ultrasonic Humidifiers – Using a water reservoir and a diaphragm, these humidifiers use high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations to release microscopic water droplets into the air. Small, quiet, and safe to use around babies and children, ultrasonic humidifiers are a popular pick.

What can I use a humidifier for?

Adding moisture to your immediate environment, air humidifiers have benefits no matter where you live or what time of year it is. Cold months can bring chilled, dry air, while arid environments can zap moisture from your surroundings.

This can cause negative health impacts like dry, cracked skin, allergies, coughs, and cold and flu symptoms. Humidifiers can help combat these conditions by acting as natural moisturising agents. They're also good for your house plants and wooden furniture, which thrive on air with a bit of moisture in it.
