Feeling the Cold and the Dry This Winter in New Jersey? Your Home May Need More Humidity
If your home feels dry, uncomfortable, or just not as cozy as it should right now — you’re not alone.
Across Central New Jersey, winter air is cold, dry, and unforgiving, and once your heating system turns on, it pulls even more moisture out of the air inside your home.
At Always Comfy LLC, this is one of the most common comfort complaints we hear every winter.
Signs Your Home Is Too Dry This Winter
Many homeowners don’t realize low humidity is the issue until they experience:
Dry skin, chapped lips, or itchy eyes
Dry nose, sinus irritation, or sore throat
Static electricity shocks
Wood floors, furniture, or trim drying out
A home that feels colder even when the heat is on
If this sounds familiar, your heating system is doing its job — but your humidity isn’t keeping up.
Why Winter Air in New Jersey Is So Dry
Cold outdoor air naturally holds very little moisture. When that air is heated inside your home, indoor humidity levels can drop well below what’s comfortable.
Most homes feel best in winter at 35–45% relative humidity.
Many homes we visit are sitting closer to 15–20%.
That difference matters — not just for comfort, but for how warm your home actually feels.
Why a Whole-House Humidifier Is the Best Solution
Many homeowners try portable humidifiers first — and while they can help a single room, they often become frustrating quickly.
Portable humidifiers:
Only help one room at a time
Need frequent refilling and cleaning
Can create uneven comfort throughout the home
Are easy to forget or shut off
A whole-house humidifier, on the other hand, works with your HVAC system to quietly maintain balanced humidity throughout your entire home.
That means:
Consistent comfort in every room
No daily refilling
Less maintenance
Automatic operation you don’t have to think about
It’s a long-term comfort solution — not a temporary workaround.
Why We Most Often Recommend the Aprilaire 720A
Always Comfy LLC installs multiple whole-house humidifier options, but most homeowners end up choosing the Aprilaire 720A — and for good reason.
The Aprilaire 720A is:
A fan-powered, water-saving whole-house humidifier
Excellent for today’s modern homes
Especially well-suited for multi-stage heating systems
Designed to deliver consistent humidity without relying on your furnace blower
In simple terms:
👉 It does a better job keeping humidity steady and comfortable — even when your system isn’t running at full power.
That means more comfort, fewer dry-air issues, and better results for most homeowners.
What About the Aprilaire 620A?
The Aprilaire 620A is still a solid option and works well in:
Homes with single-stage furnaces
Smaller or simpler HVAC setups
Like the 720A, it’s also a water-saving whole-house humidifier. The key difference is that the 720A has its own fan, giving it more flexibility and capacity — which is why we most often recommend it.
Don’t worry — you don’t need to decide this yourself. That’s our job.
Large Homes or Homes Without Ductwork?
For very large homes, homes with only one HVAC system, or homes without traditional ductwork, the Aprilaire 800 steam humidifier may be the best solution.
It delivers precise, even humidity where other options may fall short.
Winter Comfort Bonus: Your Home May Feel Warmer
Balanced humidity doesn’t just help your skin and sinuses — it can actually make your home feel warmer at lower thermostat settings.
That means:
Improved comfort
Less static
Potential energy savings
