The Benefits of Whole House Humidifiers: Why You Should Own One

Humidifier diagram

During the winter months, our heating systems naturally draw out the moisture in our air and the colder the outdoor temperatures get the more our indoor humidity plummets. This can cause a very dry nose and throat in most people. Can’t get rid of a dry cough? Your indoor air may be very dry. It also increases our susceptibility to airborne pathogens. Another effect of dry air is our home just doesn’t feel toasty and warm. Due to our modern HVAC systems humidity must be put back in, when the moisture is drawn completely out.


The answer to this issue would be a whole house humidifier. Some customers are aware of this need and install portable humidifiers in each bedroom in the home. Consequently, portable humidifiers tend to require more maintenance and water fill ups. However, there is a more practical approach; a whole house humidifier. One of the best investments you could ever make.


A whole house humidifier is installed on the main air supply plenum of your ductwork. When your main blower fan at the furnace activates, humidity is distributed throughout the home.

Once installed, customers have noticed the positive affects immediately. The heat feels more comfortable, they sleep better, and noticeably softer skin and hair. Wood furniture and floors tend to creak less as well.


Maintenance on a whole house humidifier is only needed once a year, and constant water fill ups are unnecessary.


Whole house humidifiers come in several options. Schedule a consultation with us on the best whole house humidifier for your home.
