Dry Colorado Air Is Hurting Your Health and Your Home, HVAC Expert Warns

Strasburg, Colo. – September 16, 2026 -- Dry indoor air in Strasburg, Colorado can irritate eyes, noses, and throats and worsen asthma or allergy symptoms, according to HVAC expert Darrin Monks of U.S. Mechanical Company, featured in a new HelloNation article.

Colorado's elevation and cold winters strip moisture from indoor air

The article explains that Strasburg's high elevation, cold winters, and naturally low humidity create year-round challenges. Running heating systems during colder months further reduces indoor moisture, leaving homes feeling colder even when thermostats are set normally.

Beyond health, dry air increases static electricity and can damage wood floors, furniture, and musical instruments.
