What does a whole-house humidifier do?

A whole-house humidifier adds moisture to the air through your HVAC system. It helps keep humidity more balanced throughout your home.

Why is my home so dry in the winter?

Cold outdoor air holds less moisture. When your heating system runs, indoor air often becomes even drier, which can cause dry skin, itchy eyes, and sinus irritation.

Can a whole-house humidifier help with dry skin?

Yes. A better humidity balance can help reduce dry skin, dry throat, itchy eyes, and general discomfort caused by dry indoor air.

Is a whole-house humidifier better than a portable humidifier?

Yes, for full home comfort. A portable humidifier only treats one room. A whole-house humidifier works with your HVAC system to improve humidity throughout the home.

Can dry air damage wood floors and furniture?

Yes. Dry air can cause wood floors, furniture, trim, cabinets, and musical instruments to shrink, crack, or separate over time.

Can a humidifier reduce static electricity?

Yes. Balanced indoor humidity can reduce static shocks and help protect sensitive electronics from dry air-related static buildup.

Where is a whole-house humidifier installed?

A whole-house humidifier is usually installed on or near your HVAC system. It connects with your ductwork and works with your heating system.

Does a whole-house humidifier need maintenance?

Yes. Whole-house humidifiers need routine cleaning, filter or pad replacement, and inspection to prevent leaks, mineral buildup, and poor performance.
