HUmidifiers

A humidifier is a device that adds moisture to the air, helping to maintain a balanced humidity level in your home. Proper humidity levels are crucial for your comfort, health, and the integrity of your home. Dry air can lead to dry skin, respiratory issues, and static electricity, while also damaging wooden furniture and floors. By maintaining the right humidity, a humidifier creates a more comfortable living environment and can help prevent these common problems.

There are two types of humidifiers: a bypass humidifier, and a steam humidifier. A bypass humidifier uses your HVAC system's airflow to add moisture to the air. It works by directing the air over a moistened filter or pad, which then adds humidity as the air passes through. This type of humidifier is generally more energy-efficient and works best for small to medium-large homes. On the other hand, a steam humidifier heats water to produce steam, which is then released into the air ducts, providing a more direct and powerful solution to humidifying your home. While steam humidifiers can handle higher humidity demands, they tend to use more energy but are ideal for very large homes, for homes with specific air quality needs, and for those living in very dry climates.
