Choosing the Right Whole-Home Humidifier for Your Furnace

It won’t be long before we are flipping our thermostats to offer us warmer air and make our homes nice and cozy during the winter. And warmer air can result in drier air that can influence our overall health. You may have never contemplated monitoring humidity levels in your house, or maybe you’re looking to find just the perfect balance. We’ve talked about the benefits of a whole-home humidifier from decreasing the chances of getting sick to helping with your skin. But how do you know which system is the best for your house? 

If you aren’t familiar, a whole-home humidifier uses water directly from your water supply and the water panel only needs to be changed a couple times through the heating season. There are more up-front costs to start, but there is less maintenance, lower energy costs and mold prevention in the end. 

There are a couple factors you’ll need to consider when purchasing a whole-home humidifier. 

  • Size—The humidifier’s size and capacity is based on gallons per day of operation. One way to decide what size you should get is to take your total floor area and multiply it by the height of your ceiling. This will help determine how many gallons per hour is necessary and be a guide as you assess your options. 
  • Budget—There are initial expenses when purchasing the humidifier equipment, but it’s important to also acknowledge how much money will go into operation and maintenance. There are several models that can help meet the needs in your home while adhering to a budget you are comfortable with. 

Every home and family is different. Our professionals at Stevenson Service Experts can provide you with a home health report to help you select which humidifier will work for your home. And our assessment will make sure you are getting the best solution to fit your current HVAC system. We want to make sure you relax during the winter and that you have the support you need to maintain proper indoor air quality.
