Humidification


Maintaining proper humidity levels in your home is extremely important. Especially in the winter months, a Whole-House Humidifier can make a noticeable difference in the safety, comfort and efficiency of your home.

Here are some of the benefits of adding a humidifier to your HVAC system:

  • Health: According to medical experts, many viruses thrive in low humidity increasing the likelihood of catching colds, flu and upper respiratory ailments. The American Society of Otolaryngology even reports that it is important to prevent an overly dry environment because it makes people more susceptible to infection. A Whole-House Humidifier can reduce the chance of upper respiratory problems. “Humidity reduces the incidence of respiratory infections and speeds recovery from the common cold.”—William J. Hitschler, MD, Archives of Otolaryngology. *
  • Comfort: When the air in your home becomes too dry, your body is robbed of precious moisture, leaving you and your family with dry, itchy skin, and dry nose and throat symptoms. A Whole-House Humidifier can help alleviate all of these uncomfortable symptoms and more. *
  • Protection: Dry air pulls moisture from walls and hardwood floors which leads to damaging, unsightly cracks. Valuable furniture, artwork and electronics are also subject to the adverse effects of dry air. A Whole-House Humidifier can help protect your home and its contents by supplying the correct amount of moisture to your home’s air. *
  • Energy Savings: Most homeowners turn up the thermostat because they feel cold. A Whole-House Humidifier allows you to feel warmer at lower thermostat settings, saving up to 4% on your heating bill for every degree you lower your thermostat, according to the EPA. *


Whole-Home Humidification vs. Portable

Unlike portable humidifiers, Whole-House Humidifiers are installed directly on your HVAC system. Portable humidifiers are only effective in the rooms they are located in, but Whole-House humidifiers keep your entire house comfortable from an out of sight location. Also, too much humidity can be as much of a problem as too little humidity. Whole-Home Humidifiers continually monitor relative humidity levels in your home, then work to deliver the optimal amount of moisture. Whole-Home Humidifiers don't require the daily cleaning and disinfecting that many portable units require and you never need to worry about the risk of microbial organism growth due to standing water. *
