Winter brings dry skin and a dry atmosphere along with its icy coldness. The dryness that prevails during the winter can cause breakouts for your skin and may cause several other problems as well. To eliminate your dry environment, getting your house a humidifier can be a great relief. During winter, the central heating systems and other heating systems can dry out the indoor air, which causes a dry atmosphere leading to irritation in different parts of the body. 

Humidifier adds moisture to your room and prevents dryness. It is best for treating dryness of skin, lips, nose, and throat. Moreover, they can also help in preventing flu and the common cold. However, as the sugar turns bitter if taken unhealthily, humidifiers can cause respiratory problems if not used properly. 

Prevents the spread of air-borne diseases

Researches have proven that increasing indoor humidity by about 40% can kill up to 80% of the air-borne bacterias. As a result, many hospitals and clinics have started using a humidifier to increase indoor humidity for preventing air-borne diseases among the patients, hospital staff, and visitors. 

Prevents dry skin

About 60-70 percent of the human body is made up of water, dryness in the atmosphere during winter may suck out the moisture from the body leaving dry skin, chapped lips, and possibly even bloodshot eyes. One may also face skin irritation during winter. Thereupon, running a humidifier helps to preserve moisture in the atmosphere. The added moisture prevents your skin from any sort of irritation and dryness. 

Makes your home warmer

It has also been proven that a humidifier warms the air in your house making it cozier and warmer. Moreover, if you use a humidifier instead of a heating system, you can save up more energy-saving your electricity bills. 

Helps to relieve allergic symptoms

Humidifiers, in the past, used to raise the humidity to a higher level inviting more dust mites. This led to allergic reactions in many people sensitive to allergens. However, the newer models have options to lower the humidity level. As a result, it has helped in eliminating the unwelcomed guests in your room- ultimately, you are relieved with allergic symptoms. 

Prevents static

And, it should be easily accessible for maintenance and repairs. Moreover, make sure that the place where you keep the geyser is properly ventilated in order to avoid any kind of risk such as suffocation while using the geyser.

Size of the geyser

A geyser once bought will be used by the entire family. So, keep the size of your family and the number of people who’ll use the geyser while buying one. An oversized geyser means heating of extra water that is not required if you have a family of 3. So, choose the size of the geyser according to the necessity in the family and save electricity.

Longevity and parts availability

Buy a geyser that has a longer life and has easily available replaceable parts. Though your budget should also be considered while looking out for a durable geyser, don’t hesitate to add a few hundreds or thousands of rupees to buy the geyser that lasts relatively for a longer period. For example, a tank-less water heater’s life is of about 20 years while that of tank-type is 10 to 12 years.

Warranty

Besides the warranty of the geyser itself, don’t forget to check the warranty of the heating element and the tank while buying a geyser. Also, keep the warranty card safe.

Brand

Besides the features of a geyser, you should look after other services like after-sale service and warranties. Not every brand provides such services and not every brand is trustworthy; so, purchase a geyser from brands that are trustworthy like Bajaj, Racold, etc.

Looks

If you are a person who loves decorating their house and is a bit picky, then buy a geyser that suits your bathroom decor, style, and size. Also, A MAJOR REMINDER, don’t forget to check out the important features while going after a beautiful geyser.

Type

Basically, there are two types of geysers depending on their size, convenience, and uses. They are instant geysers and storage geysers. Instant geysers are small and occupy less wall-mounting space, also they are suitable for washing kitchen utensils, hand wash, and bathing using a bucket. Storage geysers are big and occupy more wall-mounting space; these geysers are suitable for bathing using buckets as well as using a shower. Storage geysers are cost-friendly as compared to Instant geysers. However, the instant geysers last longer than storage geysers. 

Energy consumption

A 5 star rated geyser consumes less electricity for heating water as well as has much less heat loss. Install energy-efficient star rated geyser and reduce your monthly electricity bills.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF VACUUM CLEANERS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS

Air Purifiers, as the name suggests, remove harmful dust, volatile organic compounds, dander, mold spores, smoke, dust mites, and pollen from the room sparing your surrounding from any unhealthy particles. If you are someone who suffers from an allergy or has respiratory issues, then do get an air purifier for yourself.

 

Place the air purifier in your room, turn it on, wait for a few hours, and then you get a pollen and molds free room safe for you to breathe. There are different types of air purifiers available for you. Now, note this, not every air purifier is healthy. Some may promise to provide you with a dust-free environment but may end up bestowing respiratory and other health problems. So choose your air purifier wisely. 

HEPA Air Purifiers

HEPA stands for High-Efficiency Particulate Air which is widely used in worldwide households. It is a standard of filtration designed to strain out microscopic particles. Primarily, the purifier collects the impure or polluted air, then the pollutants are collected by the filters of the purifier. After the air is purified, the pure air is pumped out to the environment and more polluted air is drawn to purify. HEPA air purifiers are the most reliable and safe air purifiers; furthermore, it is widely used throughout the world. In the context of Nepal as well, there are many HEPA air purifiers in the market. And, as far as I'm concerned, it is the best of all. If you want to be healthy and breathe clean air, then do go for the HEPA air purifiers. However, they require a lot of maintenance, and you may have to replace them frequently.

Activated Carbon Air Purifier

Air purifiers with activated carbon technology are best to eliminate the smoke, odors, fumes, and gasses from the room. It is suitable for the ones who are sensitive to odors and natural gas. Most of the activated carbon air purifiers also include HEPA filters to remove air particles from the air. The activated carbon air purifiers are best for removing odors, fumes, gases, chemicals, and smokes; however, they are not suitable if you want to remove dust, pollens, and other airborne particles unless the model has HEPA filters to collect the dust and other airborne particles.

UV Air Purifiers

As UV rays of the sun damage the skin cells, the UV rays from such purifiers destroy the microbes and particles in the air. Like the HEPA air purifiers, UV air purifiers also collect the air, then using the UV lamp that produces UV-C light, it kills the microbes and bacteria in the air, and then throws the air out into the surrounding. This kind of air purifier help to get rid of the microorganism rather than the non-living organism. They are mostly available in medical settings. If you want to get rid of bacteria, microbes, and fungi, then do go for the UV air purifiers. However, it is debated that the UV air purifiers release ozone which is not healthy for you. But, if used in a specific wavelength, the ozone produced will not be harmful.

Ozone generators

Ozone air purifiers release ozone while purifying the air. Ozone is a compound formed by three oxygen atoms, often created by chemical reactions between nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). At the ground level, ozone can trigger a variety of health problems, especially for the elderly, asthmatics, and children. This air purifier is in the list to make you aware of its existence and to alert you to avoid any sort of air purifier that releases ozone. The salesmen ensure you that ozone won't harm your health and do you good, which is not the case. The ozone emitted by the ozone air purifiers are harmful to your health and may result in several harmful respiratory diseases. They are not available for purchase and are restricted by several governments throughout the world. However, be cautious of the Ozone generating air purifier.
