Amish Originals Furniture Co.: Heating Season

The days are upon us when the furnace begins to kick on. We welcome the cozy warmth that greets us when we come in from the outdoors, but keep in mind that the warm, inside air is also very dry air. Have you noticed your skin drying? The very same thing happens to your solid wood furniture.

You can prevent damage by ensuring that humidity levels in your home remain between 35% and 55%. The added moisture will not only prevent cracks in your furniture, it will make your home feel more comfortable at lower thermostat settings. The next time you need to put lotion on your hands think about your furniture and check to see that the humidifier attached to your furnace is on and in good working order.
