What causes dry air in the home?

We speak of dry air when the humidity level in your home has fallen below 40%. The ideal humidity is between 40% and 60%. Air that is too dry can have several causes:
  1. Low temperatures are the primary cause of dry air in the home. As temperatures decrease, it becomes more difficult for the air to retain moisture. This is compounded by the fact that we often turn up the heat when it gets colder.
  2. How less insulation your home has against the cold, the more likely dry air is to enter your home.
  3. An lack of ventilation in addition, can also be a cause. It can cause not enough moist air from outside to enter your home to compensate for the dry air.

How does Aeroconsult help with dry air?

Aeroconsult uses a technology called ionisatie. Ions are nature's cleaners; you can find them all over the world. Nature creates them with lightning and waterfalls, among other things. Have you ever taken a deep breath just after a thunderstorm? Then you know how clean the air can be. Aeroconsult creates those same ions with its patented technology. Aeroconsult's air purifiers produce billions of electrons per second that attack air pollution in the home. This creates a concentration of more than 250,000 negative ions per cm³ that strike against the dry air in the room. That technology not only provides a better humidity in the home. It also combats particulate matter, ozone, toxic gases and germs spread through the air. All without causing additional damage to the environment.
