Humidifers can provide an effective, efficient and sustainable solution that can work to add vapor back into the air throughout your home.

Many of us take advantage of our programmable thermostats in the summer or possibly when we go away on vacation. But did you realize you can simply set your thermostat for a lower bedtime temperature, and this small change can actually help improve your sleep?

While it’s different for everyone, having the thermostat turned down at night can help many people actually get a higher quality of sleep…and better sleep means better health!
