How a Humidifier Can Protect You & Your Computer from Static Electricity Caused by Dry Indoor Air

Press release from: Selection4less.com

Static electricity shocks are annoying and can cause malfunctions in electronic circuitry; humidifying your indoor air helps eliminate those shocks



People who are frequently “zapped” by static electricity during the winter heating season look for solutions to eliminate hair that frizzes and clothing that clings due to air that contains too little moisture.


Static electricity caused by excessively dry indoor air can cause malfunctions in equipment that contains electronic circuitry — and isn’t healthy for humans, pets or plants, either.

Air that doesn’t contain sufficient moisture can produce conditions that result in static electricity. When relative humidity levels fall below 35-40%, solid items start accumulating a static charge.


Keeping relative humidity around 50% reduces or eliminates conditions that result in the “zap” of static electricity. Why? Because moisture envelopes the tiny particulates that conduct electricity, providing a path for it to “ground out” without causing that annoying mini-shock.

To protect yourself and your electronic devices from malfunctions due to static electricity, make sure your indoor air has a relative humidity level of around 50%. To check humidity in your home or workplace, purchase an inexpensive hygrometer (humidity measuring device) at your local hardware store or online. Recommendation: Humidifiers.Selection4Less.com.

Selection4Less.com was started in 2009 by three friends who practice healthy living and are genuinely interested in helping others do the same. We decided to focus on humidifiers as our first product line because indoor air quality is so literally vital to creating a healthy atmosphere in your home and workplace. Our mission is to provide an innovative forum for information about the most popular, efficient humidifiers.
